End of the world- Gods retribution for our sins or just the natural way of things?

Question

Yosemite national park is a super volcano that is past due to explode. The earth is past do for a life ending comet or meteor strike. The earths core is gradually slowing down which will create a pole shift and let in leathal doses of radiation from space. San fransisco is past due for a major earthquake. Every year the weather patterns on the planet grow stronger and stronger creating more devistating storms. These are all things that have happened in the past they have been scientifically documented and they are all well over due to happen again. Looking at each Individually and you might not get worried but put them all together and you might wonder if God isnt holding them back for the end of times. What do you think?

Yes efw the things i have descibed have happened with regularity but now they are late. Not just one of them but all of them are past due! What are the odds of that happening. Maybe god is just waiting for us to make that one final mistake before he unleashes hell upon us. What do you think?

Answer 1

What mistakes.. We are killing each other and making each others life a living hell.. I am sure god is involved. But either way we are toast. This is how god wanted the world to be. Wars and disasters.. I guess some thing good here is holding us back from being toast...

Answer 2

I doubt whether the techtonic plates care one way or another whether you're praying to god or not, the geologic event will happen. The planet destroying asteroid that will hit the earth 877 years from now is an astronomical certainty (named 1950DA). If humans are still around, they'll have 10 years to deflect it other than with nuclear weapons. The irreversible effect of global warming do not have sentient thoughts about bringing calamity to the earth.

There's no proof that you are facing retribution from a higher being. The events you described have come with regularity and will continue in the same cyle long after we're gone.

By the time our sun Supernova's in the far future, will it be like the trillion upon trillion stars that have already done so in the Universe? To think otherwise is fanciful thinking.

Answer 3

Your question was " Is the end of the world retribution for our sins."

No. God only meant this place to be temporary in the first place.
We were meant to be with him in heaven and that isn't here.
However I think (since he made the joint) that the things you mention above would sooner or later ruin the planet for life.
so before that happens he will pull us out when it gets close.

Answer 4

Catastrophes are not God's rath on the world. Period. They are however, prophesied in Revelations at the end of the world. Whether or not the world is ending, no one can really say. Just remember, not all disasters are really disasters. Anything can be used for good.

Answer 5

mankind is his own worst enemy. there is nothing new under the sun. what goes on now how happened before. there is no rememberence of these things, that is written. all is vanity and in the end dust. what was will be again. all i ever needed to know about life, i learned fron eclesastics.

Answer 6

And then we are busy with wars -- bickering over a freaking piece of holy land... So whose fault is it if we were knocked off the top of the list in the animal kingdom?
No sense of priority...

Answer 7

Next February 2nd, we'll find out from the groundhog.

Answer 8

well, my guess would be that anything that ended life on the planet would likely happen sometime around "endtime"

or just after tea

Answer 9

I think efw is obviously right.
