■ An Answer to Graham Hancock | by Garrett Fagan
Doomsday for some people is a magical event tends comical, involving seven-headed dragon, or a bridge of hair parted in seven. This event is an external intervention, namely God, who will come to judge men on an unexpected day. Then, when it was a natural event that devastated most of the Earth's north, eliminating most of Europe, annihilate life in Russia, the U.S. population has shrunk by half, heavily damaging Australia, Japan, and drown the world's coastal areas up to six meters, Earth's population is shrinking at least twenty percent, then let the rest of the grip of extreme climate and global turmoil, will it be enough to a definition of doomsday? I am disturbed when I read Graham Hancock's book, "Fingerprints of the Gods". With the evidence compiled from the ancient Aztec civilization, the Maya, Hopi, and Egypt, Hancock finds traces of modern civilization beyond the sophistication of today, but disappeared about 10,000 years BC by a catastrophic disaster that sank the human race back to the Stone Age. Geological evidence also supports that the Earth has experienced several climate shifts.
The Maya are known to be very obsessively on the Day of Resurrection. They believe the five cycles of life (or 'sun') has occurred. Their calendars and advanced systems (Hancock believe it as a legacy and not an invention) results in the calculation of the 5th sun (Tonatiuh), it is our time, lasted 5125 years and expire on December 23, 2012 AD. Meanwhile, the civilization of Ancient Egypt calculate cycles of the Earth's axial of the twelve constellations. A total of 25.920 year cycle is shifted regularly, each 2160 years for each constellation.
Our present position, Pisces constellation is heading efflux and the transition to Aquarius with tremendous upheaval. With a more esoteric approach, Gregg Braden in his book "Awakening to Zero Point" reviewing the phenomenon of polar shifting, where the North Pole and South Pole exchanging positions characterized by a weakening of the Earth's magnetic field intensity recorded was down as much as thirty-eight percent compared to 2000 years ago and believed it would get to the point of zero around the year 2030 AD. This natural phenomenon has occurred 14 times in the past 4.5 million years. Regardless of the scientific controversy about the theories and Braden Hancock, it is difficult to deny that our planet is no longer the same.
1998 is recorded as a peak year of outstanding natural behavior. El Nino, followed by La Nina, Tibet and South Africa each had the worst winter and flooding in the last fifty years. Entering 2005, the tsunami devastated Asia, and then Katrina hit the United States.
I do not know what else we will face, but our understanding is slowly creeping like a snail compared to natural conditions is like a horse that ran amok. The issue of global warming requires more than a decade to be recognized by the skeptics and the bureaucrats. In some countries, there are lots of discussions about new alternative energy sources after oil prices surged, after they already depend on oil. The issue of kitchen waste processing is only "whispering", after the landslide of trash mountain and casualties.
In addition to industry efforts harmed by the decline in fossil energy consumption, the delay in our response is also due to the development of science into fragments specialization, so the scattered randomly phenomenon is rarely integrated into one complete picture, and without an analysis model that can point to a date certain. Catastrophic disaster is only a speculative discourse. Right now you could say we are inundated with data and symptoms without a diagnosis framework.
Our knowledge of the end of the world is stagnant in the framework of biblical myth, which is difficult correlated with the length of a forest fire or the effects of exploitation of nature, so that is prevalent when people pray diligently in order to anticipate the day of judgment, but they continue to throw garbage anywhere. We need an understanding of the dangers of global warming and action to respond, with urgency scale is the Day of Resurrection, for example, responding to the relationship between our car exhaust with the melting of polar ice caps. Good air quality have a positive effect for all. Forget the signpost of 'Spare the Environment'. We have come to the era of action. Lots of little things we can do from home without having to wait longer. Changes in lifestyle are our time savings, for the sake of civilization, for what we love. Our public transportation is one: Earth. We also pay the same rate, would doom for distant or near. No other public transportation to accommodate us if our car breaking down. Good passenger will maintain and assist it with a vengeance.

Since Immanuel Kant once wrote about the Critique of Pure Reason, it has become common for people thinking that to prove the existence of God is impossible. In fact, this claim has been elevated to the level of dogma in the American intellectual culture. The reason that is considered as undoubtly dogma is a reaction that I get when I ask it. When someone says "You can't prove the existence of God," then I will ask, "How do you know? Meet me! How do you know what can I do?"
What is meant by people when they explain this claim? Most people assume I am unable to give a philosophical opinion about the existence of God that will convince all people's thinking. Thus, it is impossible to give an opinion which will result in an agreement. They said if my opinion couldn't convince the atheist, I had not been able to prove the existence of God. As long as I couldn't convince atheists to believe it, then my opinion might not be a proof for them. If my opinion couldn't be a proof, how well it should be?
I agree that I can't give an opinion that can convince all the people's thinking. But what would you say to me? Does this tell you everything about God? No. It is more to say about the natural evidence than a statement about the God's existence.
I can't give an opinion that will convince everyone without any doubt that God exists. But it's not a problem. You know that I can't give an opinion for an interesting philosophical conclusions that will be accepted by everyone without any hesitation.
There are no interesting philosophical conclusion that can be proven without a doubt. So the opinion of God's existence does not produce mathematical certainty that it can weaken the issue of God's existence. In simple terms, it puts a question about the God's existence in the same category as other questions, such as God's external existence, freedom of world's thought and the question of how we know other people have minds.
Does this mean that their opinions about the existence of God is a vanity? Not at all. I certainly can not give an opinion that will convince all thinking people, but this does not mean that I do not have good reason to believe in God. Indeed some of my reasons for believing in God can affect you. Although you are not affected to believe that God exists, but my opinion would not be in vain.

Why do dogs hate fireworks?
(...There's something in this dog's eyes remind me of him, maybe more on my sense of compassion when I saw his eyes because of his lack of understanding to me, for one thing. But Adriaan Zef is not my dog.He's my partner, though he's not too fond of fireworks. He said, "It is a potential to invite the accidents." Meanwhile, I really like the fireworks. His dislike of it is another kind of fireworks in my few nights. Aww...)

Astrid Adrienne : ehhehe... I think -- for Farrakhan -- Lieberman wasn't a problem for black Muslims, but he would be a test for White people (Christian). If Christians could answer very well, Americans may be said to have grown up. With the nomination of Lieberman, it showed the Democrats maturity. I think this phenomenon was similar to when JFK was asked whether he would be more loyal to the Pope or to the U.S. constitution. He got through the test, but unfortunately, he was killed.
