No its not a prophecy.......... When someone stated that "Humans Cant Predict The Future", I knew this was a "flawed" statement. With a few simple questions I was able to let other members show why this is so. The future can be predicted, in a limited fashion, but anomalous events are always the wrench in the works. Perhaps those anomalies are what the prophecies are about, although there is no direct evidence.

I was surprised how many assumptions were made. I believe in God, therefore I must be a Christian. A Christian who posts a thread about prophecies associated with a galactic alignment, must believe these prophecies. Way to many assumptions.

You're very right that it wasn't a prophecy. Astronomy has had its math behind it for...a very long time now. Here's hoping some anomaly doesn't fly in and wreck us before we become aware of the nature of things.

(Miust I disagree, still, that someone who believes in god must necessarily be a christian, and that someone who does not must not be one?)

Well, I think we could get along well enough except for such distinctions.

what's going on in this thread, as I see it, is that Dave is talking beliefs, while those with whom he is arguing, are talking science. the gulf between the two modes of thinking is immeasurable and unspannable.


can you not agree, Dave, that there are no empirical data or data trends to suggest that anything out of the ordinary (i.e. one of your "wild card events") is going to happen on Dec 21, 2012? because THAT is what is being suggested, tho in cruder terms (i.e. "astrology is bullshit).

actually, you made several suggestions, including the one I quoted. however, no, you did not suggest that anything out of the ordinary is going to happen on the date in question. you merely argued that those who are claiming that there is no logical, empirically supported reason to think that something will happen are using flawed arguments. in point of fact, they are not.

When he was twenty-three years old he studied I-King, the profoundest doctrine of the universe. It was winter at the time and he needed some heavy clothes. He wrote his teacher, who lived a hundred miles away, telling him of his need, and gave the letter to a traveler to deliver. Almost the whole winter passed and neither answer nor clothes arrived. So Kitano resorted to the prescience of I-King, which also teaches the art of divination, to determine whether or not his letter had miscarried. He found that this had been the case. A letter afterwards from his teacher made no mention of clothes.

"If I perform such accurate determinative work with I-King, I may neglect my meditation," felt Kitano. So he gave up this marvelous teaching and never resorted to its powers again.

Its the date of the final alien invasion! It must be true, I saw it on the X-Files.

http://www.tv.com/the-x-files/the-tr...st;ep_title;19

Quote:
"The Truth" featured the largest number of cast members in the opening credits than any other episode: David Duchovny (Fox Mulder), Gillian Anderson (Dana Scully), Robert Patrick (John Doggett), Annabeth Gish (Monica Reyes), and Mitch Pileggi (Walter Skinner), bringing the total to 5. The day in which the aliens will come and take over the world is set on December 22, 2012, the day in which the ancient Mayan calendar ends (the end of the world) is December 23, 2012.

I'm not sure what Al Gore has to do with a Galactic Alignment, The Mayan Calender, Bible Codes, or the I-Ching. If he is aware of any of these, I'm sure he doesn't lose sleep over them.

An interesting thread... I shall toss in my twopence!

First, as was mentioned a few posts above, logic dictates that we never have certainty over things. Even the "laws" of physics can be broken under the right laboratory experiment. Very little, if anything, is ever assured in life.

Secondly, remember that the universe is far bigger than us. While I agree that humans cannot generally predict future events with any amount of success other than what sheer luck brings them, I also believe that certain larger events escape our grasp because we are mortal, and shortly so. How many generations does it take for lessons to be forgotten?

Also, keep in mind that your average person today is not nearly as tuned in to the natural (and probably spiritual) world around them as people were hundreds or thousands of years ago. Back in the day, that's all there was. You had to understand the land you farmed, the sea you sailed, the heavens you prayed to as best you could. Today our beliefs are fickle and often unfounded. A healthy dose (if there is such a thing) of wikipedia does not a knowledgeable person make.

So, in the end, never say never, anything is possible, and trying to state you are 100% certain one way or the other makes you a gambler or a fool and nothing more.

Perhaps not, but improbable things actually happen all the time. Is it as likely as the sun rising each morning? I don't think so. That doesn't make it less reasonable to believe there's a chance.

Here's my thing with odds... what are YOUR odds of winning the Power Ball? astronomical. But remember that it's won every couple of weeks by someone. Is it likely that our sun will suddenly go *poof*? No, but stars come and go all the time in the grand scale of things. *shrug*

the odds are 1 in 146,107,962 of any given ticket winning the big jackpot. however, if 10 million tickets are played, the odds that one of them is the winner are a mere 1 in 14.6.

the odds of a sun blinking out of existence are even more astronomical (pun intended), but given the vast array of stars out there, it's bound to happen. Major astrological events happen all the time. In their own time (which moves far slower than humans really care to understand).

At any rate, I'm not saying 2012 will be anything other than another year. I'm just saying those who staunchly disbelieve it are no more correct than those that take it to heart.

Also, sion, your statistics are flawed. It would only be 1 in 14.6 if every one of the 10M tickets had different sets of numbers.

Is what probable??? Perhaps someone could clarify what they think will occur. I started this thread because I have an interest in astronomy and this event only happens once every 26,000 years, so most humans never get the chance to live at such a time.

http://alignment2012.com/whatisGA.htm

Quote:
The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator. This alignment occurs as a result of the precession of the equinoxes.

Precession is caused by the earth wobbling very slowly on its axis and shifts the position of the equinoxes and solstices one degree every 71.5 years. Because the sun is one-half of a degree wide, it will take the December solstice sun 36 years to precess through the Galactic equator.

The precise alignment of the solstice point (the precise center-point of the body of the sun as viewed from earth) with the Galactic equator was calculated to occur in 1998 (Jean Meeus, Mathematical Astronomy Morsels, 1997).

Thus, the Galactic Alignment "zone" is 1998 +/- 18 years = 1980 - 2016. This is "era-2012."

This Galactic Alignment occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar.
I also included the other prophetic references, because it seemed odd that so many pointed to this date as a time of change or catastrophe.

http://alignment2012.com/

Quote:
Incredibly, at the early Maya site of Izapa in southern Mexico, the galactic cosmology and a profound spiritual teaching are preserved. Izapa speaks to us of the Galactic Alignment in 2012 as a transformative nexus in time, a still-point turnabout, inviting us to reconnect with our cosmic heart and eternal source.

From what I understand we are not in the "End Days" of the calendar, but rather in the no time part. I think the end of the Maya calendar was 1973 or something, and the current cycle is the lead up to a new beginning in 2012. Some people have noted a subtle speed up of time/experience that they assume ties into the time of transition claimed by the Maya. Because of the many myths in agreement on this, there does seem to be reason for the belief in "something".
I admit there is a draw to the concept of ages...but as I don't feel a need to worry about things I don't understand, I will simply keep doing what I do, and try to be happy about it.

true, but since that's pretty much incalculable...

the point is that the odds that there will be a winner are not nearly as astronomical as one might think. many orders of magnitude more likely.

Obviously... I was just clarifying. At any rate, you are only supporting exactly my claim. When you look at odds, there are many vantage points you can take with them. Any given event has certain odds of occurring, even if they are not calculable by mere humans. Regardless of how unlikely something may be, there's still a CHANCE of it occurring.

Galactic alignment won't affect us. I'd bet the farm on that. I'd also bet that we make noise when it doesn't need to be made - like I just did.

What are the odds of us understanding each other?

Our universe provides the means, and they won't be any more available to disbelief.

I experienced a considerable slowing of time passing last Thursday/Friday, as did all those I spoke to of it. Did gravity get heavier? Did god interfere? Was it one of those shared moments we all long for?

Or was it an effect of the oncoming galactic alignment?

Our world might never know.

A Galactic Alignment will happen. Didn't you read the thread???

Seriously, I don't believe that day will be the end of the world, or anything even close. Aliens wont invade, no GRB, no tsunamis or earthquake storms, but there is a chance it could snow.

If people really did believe that day would be their last, that wouldn't be such a bad thing. If I knew I only had a few years to live, I would fill my life up to the very brim, with everything that brings me joy & happiness. If others did the same, that wouldn't suck. Unless murder & mayhem brings you happiness...

if we actually KNEW that this particular day (or any specific day, for that matter) would be the end of the world, and there was nothing we could do about it, people would quit planning for the future and start living in the present. which, in theory, wouldnt be a bad idea, until you consider that many (most?) are generally law abiding only for fear of spending years in jail. I think civilization would begin to degenerate immediately upon learning of such news, and the degeneration would accelerate as the impending day drew nearer and nearer. by the final 6 months, the entire planet would be in utter chaos, with murder and mayhem being the rule rather than the exception.
