Actually the opposite, the earth's distance from the sun increases (just as the moon is slowly leaving - conservation of angular momentum). The explosion of the outer solar shell while turning into a red giant,  will evaporate all the inner plants including the earth.

But why this site attracts so many religious nutjobs is curious, indeed. Every week there is another escapee from the looney bin trying to convince people here that "the bible is right" by interpreting obscure passages of the bible in even more obscure ways.

I keep asking myself the same question. I thought we were all somewhat intelligent on this site.

If all the ice melted the Earth would still not be flooded.

The polar ice caps have not existed in Earth's past, likewise, the earth has been completely frozen over at least twice for several thousand millennia in it's history.  We really only need to go back about 40-50,000 years ago before the last ice age when the earth was ice free.

What helped to create the last ice age and  the polar ice caps was the formation of Central America through tectonic plate action that caused a divide between the Atlantic and Pacific ocean.  Prior to that, the oceans were warmer, keeping the polar caps mild to warm.

What will likely happen if Global Warming continues is we'll go through a long series of wild weather patterns of both hot and cold.  Which honestly wouldn't be so bad if the precipitation levels were normal.  It seems like NA is receiving much less precipitation and Europe is getting more.

The bible never said the Earth was flat. The Catholic church said the Earth was flat because of the Ptolmic views they held onto since the founding of the church by decree of the Roman Emperor Consantine. The sect of Christianity he choose to create the new state religion had mixed the views of Plato with that of 'ancient' Christianity, to the point where traidition and not biblical scripture became the overiding force that guides them. And a central belief of Ptolimic views was the world was flat. (The funny thing is Jesus condemed the Pharasees and Sagucees for following tradition and not the word of god. And sorry about my spelling the auto-checker isn't working for some reason.)

Actually it is quit the opposite at Isaiah 40:22 is says: "There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers." And the Hebrew word that is translated here as circle could also be translated as sphere or globe.

As for the prophacies Jesus life and death fulfilled nearly 100 prophacies in the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testement).

If some are interested here is a run of articles that cover the topic of various prophacies that have been fulfilled.

Jesus was betrayed by a friend

Bible prophecy: Psalm 41:9
Prophecy written: About 1000 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: About 31 AD

In Psalm 41:9, King David wrote a prayer asking for mercy in his last days. In this prayer, which Christians acknowledge as being inspired by God, David wrote about a betrayal at the hand of a close friend with whom he had shared bread. This foreshadowed something that happened years later with Jesus. As explained in Matthew 26:47-50, Jesus was betrayed by Judas, one of the 12 apostles, shortly after Jesus and the apostles had shared bread during the Last Supper. Jesus was crucified by the Romans a short time later. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Psalm 41:9:

Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

Zechariah foreshadowed the betrayal of Jesus for 30 pieces of silver

Bible prophecy: Zechariah 11:12-13
Prophecy written: Between 520 and 518 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: About 31 AD

In Zechariah 11:4-17, the prophet speaks of a payment involving 30 pieces of silver and of a good shepherd whose service is brought to an end. This foreshadows an event that happened to Jesus about 500 years later. As explained in Matthew 26:15, Judas was paid 30 silver coins for his betrayal of Jesus. Judas told the Romans when and where they could arrest Jesus without being surrounded by a large crowd of Jesus' followers. As explained in Matthew 27:5-7, Judas later tossed the moneyinto the Temple (the house of the Lord) and the money was used to buy a potter's field as a burial place for foreigners. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Zechariah 11:12-13:

12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. 

13 And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.

Nineveh's army officers would desert

Bible prophecy: Nahum 3:17
Prophecy written: About 614 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: 612 BC

In Nahum 3:17, the prophet said Nineveh's army officers would flee rather than fight. Babylonian records claim that Assyrian army members did flee from the battle. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Nahum 3:17:

Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day-- but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where.

Nineveh would be destroyed, permanently

Bible prophecy: Nahum 3:19
Prophecy written: About 614 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: 612 BC

In Nahum 3:19 (and 1:9), the prophet said that Nineveh, which was the Assyrian Empire's capital and perhaps the most powerful city of the ancient world, would suffer a wound that would never heal.

In 612 BC (about 2600 years ago), a coalition of Babylonians, Scythians and Medes conquered the heavily fortified city. According to the Bible, Nineveh was to be punished for the empire's inhumane treatment of Israel.

It is unknown as to when exactly Nahum delivered this prophecy. Some scholars speculate that it was delivered about two years before the conquest. But, it is known that Nahum was correct: the city of Nineveh, as well as the Assyrian empire as a whole, never recovered from the defeat.

It is worth noting that recovery would not have been unprecedented. The Assyrian empire had conquered Babylon many years beforehand, but Babylon was able to recover from that defeat, regain its power, and defeat Assyria. But, as Nahum had accurately prophesied some 2600 years ago, Nineveh never recovered. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Nahum 3:19:

Nothing can heal your wound; your injury is fatal. Everyone who hears the news about you claps his hands at your fall, for who has not felt your endless cruelty?

Babylon would rule Judah for 70 years

Bible prophecy: Jeremiah 25:11-12
Prophecy written: Sometime between 626-586 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: About 609 BC to 539 BC

In Jeremiah 25:11-12, the prophet said that the Jews would suffer 70 years of Babylonian domination. Jeremiah also said Babylon would be punished after the 70 years. Both parts of this prophecy were fulfilled. In 609 BC, which is about 2600 years ago, Babylon captured the last Assyrian king and ruled over a vast part of what had been the Assyrian empire, to which the land of Israel previously had been subjugated. Babylon later asserted its dominance by taking many Jews as captives to Babylon, and by destroying Jerusalem and the Temple. The domination ended in 539 BC, when Cyrus, a leader of Persians and Medes, conquered Babylon and brought an end to its empire. Cyrus later offered the captive Jews the freedom to return to their homeland. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Jeremiah 25:11-12:

11 This whole country will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years. 

12 "But when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will punish the king of Babylon and his nation, the land of the Babylonians, for their guilt," declares the LORD, "and will make it desolate forever.

Babylon's kingdom would be overthrown, permanently

Bible prophecy: Isaiah 13:19
Prophecy written: Between 701-681 BC
Prophecy fulfilled: 539 BC

In Isaiah 13:19, the prophet said Babylon would be overthrown, permanently. History confirms that when Cyrus conquered Babylon in 539 BC, it never again rose to power as an empire. Before the time of Cyrus, however, Babylon had been defeated by the Assyrian Empire but was able to recover and later conquer the Assyrian Empire. However, likeIsaiah prophesied 2700 years ago, the Babylonian Empire never recovered from Cyrus' conquest. - Copyright © George Konig, Ray Konig and 100Prophecies.org

Isaiah 13:19:

Babylon, the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of the Babylonians' pride, will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah.

why would anyone believe in a book someone wrote? even my medical textbooks are full of error, and these are heavily researched evidence based book... We don't even know who 'really' wrote the bible. Probably some guy trying to make some quick cash on sheepish believers of their time.

Because there's that odd chance that _those_ who wrote the book were divinely inspired.


Recently came back from San Francisco, on the street there was a guy in the street preaching about Christianity; ppl looked at him weird and treated him like a mad man next the the subway station. Ppl did the same back in the days and were mostly treated with respect... so who was divinely inspired again?! times have chance, sketicisim, individualism, and critical thinking is probably the worst enemy to religion. Who would believe me if I told them I split the Red Sea in half and i can communicate with God? i will probably get treated like a mad man. Stories in the bible sound like fairy tales anyway u look at it. Virgin Mary?! LOL..who's to say the hymen was intacted, she got creampied by someone

That made me lol

I am a Lutheran, so I already do not believe Catholics are going to heaven. Wasn't it them who said the earth was flat?


No, just no. For the love of God no. Don't fall for those Protestant lies. Us Lutherans weren't perfect.

In 240 B. C. a man named Eratosthenes went so far as to calculate the circumference of the Earth with extreme accuracy using mere shadows in different cities. This is very important because not only does it show that people back then were smart but also that they knew the Earth is round. In fact they never forgot it's round. It wasn't until the Protestants started bad mouthing the Catholic Church that the people believed a round Earth was a new discovery. Just wanted to let you guys know that.

As for the OP, you always find the strangest articles.
