Tatsuma, you care to weigh in in this? Since the eclipses seem to effect or be tied mainly to Jewish Holy-Days.

Is it just involuntary pelvic contractions, or is it Christ's second coming?

I'd prefer it if NASA stuck to the batshiat crazy diaper-wearing astronauts personally.

2015

It's reassuring that the end of the world is always near enough to seem threatening, yet far enough away that when the date comes and goes nobody has remembered the predictions.

mamoru: From TFA:
Will Jesus Christ return to Earth in the year 2015?

No.

And can studying NASA's website provide evidence for such a scenario?

No.

But, I doubt the disappointment of nothing happening will shake that guy's (or anyone else's) faith. They'll just look for other meaningless natural phenomena happening on arbitrary days to back up their delusions.

Have a nice diurnal anomaly.

precisely!

Good to see the floor-humper banner ads are still around.

GoDeep: He'll be three years too late, though.

This...
the Aztecs called 2012 already, so wonder who'll be left?

this is all part of the permanent base on the moon that bush was telling us about.

mikeynez: Good to see the floor-humper banner ads are still around.

cant have conservative news without totally gay banner ads.

But Hal Lindsey, a well-known biblical analyst and author of "The Late Great Planet Earth," says while he hasn't heard of Biltz's theory, he called it "pure speculation."

When Hal Lindsey thinks your theory is out in left field...

WorldNutDaily: It's like the Onion, except that they're not kidding!

RTFA, submitter. NASA is not actively assisting evangelists; they're just drawing dubious spiritual conclusions from publicly accessible information. I could say the unholy tentacle of Cthulhu will touch the earth at the next solar eclipse, but that doesn't make NASA complicit in my madness.

Bah, out of all professions, doomsday prophets have pretty much the worst track record ever, so pardon me if I don't get my 'the end is nigh!' cardboard banner out just yet.

I like the commentary section on the right....

Does this mean I have to vote Republican from now on to get into heaven?

Mobro4000: Does this mean I have to vote Republican from now on to get into heaven?

Of course. Didn't you know that love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people?

Just ask Ben Stein!

What ever happened to "No one knows when the time will be at hand"?

Christians have been wrong (p)about eschatology since before they were Christians.

I couldn't find it in a hurry, but there's an ancient pottery shard complaining about the worsening of humanity and the imminent downfall of mankind. From a few thousand BC.

Texmandie:
WorldNutDaily: It's like the Onion, except that they're not kidding!

that should really be their tagline.

Nice to see the science guys of the US are equally as insane as the rest of the god fearing populus....

I'M BRIAN !!!

Where do these idiots come from? Let me know when Jesus is here. burp.

NASA is not a PR firm. Actual scientists and engineers work there. Go back to to your Obama/Abercrombie Fitch/Clinton/GAP discussions.

Thank God that NASA has finally earned the support of the Fundamentalist Christian
movement! NASA should now be able to receive the funding they so desperately need.

Well, I'm convinced; better start liquidating all my assets now--not going need them anymore. Anyone want a 12 month old houesbroken (mostly) golden retriever?

Owangotang: I'd prefer it if NASA stuck to the batshiat crazy diaper-wearing astronauts personally.

I just skimmed TFA, but I don't think TFA said NASA is involved, this guy is just using info from the NASA web site. I'm kind of relieved. I thought that maybe NASA was going the way of the USAF, being all christy and all.

perverts

But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. Matthew 24:36

rko281: NASA is not a PR firm. Actual scientists and engineers work there. Go back to to your Obama/Abercrombie Fitch/Clinton/GAP discussions.

and those scientists and engineers are at the mercy of politicians.

You don't need NASA to predict when Jesus is coming back. He comes by my place every two weeks, he mows the lawn & trims the bushes. He is actually very prompt and dependable. In fact he should be here this Friday around 10am.

I can't wait. Jesus will be kickin' some major ass. The fundamentalists are going to get biatch slapped by a guy with holes in his hands, less wind resistance. Of course there is a better chance of an alien race of My Little Ponies taking over by 2015.

I'm reading the New Testament now, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies...

Wasn't JC big on the immediacy of the end of the age? I get the feeling that he thought the Second Coming was just around the corner. Also, it turns out that a lot more people are going to Hell than I thought. Seems like all those loopholes I kept hearing about were invented later. Also, I never knew Christ was racist (Matthew 15: 21-18). Oh well, the more you know...

sozelle: Well, I'm convinced; better start liquidating all my assets now--not going need them anymore. Anyone want a 12 month old houesbroken (mostly) golden retriever?

Careful now, the phrase "liquidating my golden retriever" could get you in trouble with the ASPCA.

I predict he'll be at least as accurate as one of these guys.

If you think of NASA as anything other than a collection of the greatest minds our nation has to offer, collected together to do profoundly important work, then you are in serious need of a very isolated ethnic cleansing.

too lazy to post diaper astronaut's pic.

1988-OCT-11: Edgar Whisenaut, a NASA scientist, had published the book "88 Reasons why the Rapture will Occur in 1988." It sold over 4 million copies.

This is the sole reason why I believe that moon landing was faked.

Too lazy weak to post diaper astronaut's pic. anything better than anecdote.

I can't dispute the politicization of science in this country. I can tell you, as an engineer, I search for Truth first and conclusions later - and I pay a price for it when I do. Science is not a court room or a democracy - just ask Galileo.

this thread has made you hateful.

you should maybe go take a walk or something.

I was impressed like everyone,
When man began to fly,
Out of earthly regions,
To planets in the sky.
With total media coverage,
We watched the heros land,
As ceremoniously
They disturbed the cosmic sand.

In awe with admiration,
We listened to the talk.
Such pride felt they,
Such joy to be
Upon the moon to walk.
My romantic vision shattered,
When it was explained to me,
Spacemen wear old diapers
In which they shiat and pee.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shiatting is your problem,
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

They don't partake like you and I,
Of beefy burger mush.
Their food is specially prepared
To dissolve into slush.
Absorbed by multi-fibers
In the super diaper suit,
Otherwise the slush would trickle
Down inside the boot.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shiatting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

You may well ask now what becomes
Of liquid they consume.
A pipe is led from penis head
To a unit in the room.
The water is recirculated,
Filtered for re-use.
In case of anti-gravity -
Pee gets on the loose.

Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to there.
Relieve you and believe me,
Without a worry or care.
If shiatting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to Mars.

Wherever man has conquered,
On the quest for frontiers new,
(Da da da da)
I'm glad that he's always had to do
The number one and two.
It makes it all so ordinary,
Just like you and me,
To know the greatest heroes,
They had to shiat and pee.

The intergalactic laxative
Will get you from here to there,
For cosmic constipation
There's none that can compare.
If shiatting is your problem
When you're out there in the stars,
Oh, the intergalactic laxative,
The intergalactic laxative,
The intergalactic laxative,
Will get you from here to Mars.

/got the more official looking version

If I was god, I'd send CLEAR signs of the coming apocalypse. Maybe I'd throw in a few rains of toads just to get the point across. Religious people everywhere would abandon their lands and possessions and devote themselves to prayer and repentance.

Then I'd be like... PSYCH!

but if you're a nasa scientist/astronaut, your findings are subject to approval.
personally, i think it sucks. i think that even with it's long list of flaws, nasa should get funding priority over defense, faith based initiatives, and other types of crap....but it's never gonna happen.

personally, i think that nasa and russcosmo should be merged into one organization.....and first priority should be a working space elevator.

Broz_Tito: 1988-OCT-11: Edgar Whisenaut, a NASA scientist, had published the book "88 Reasons why the Rapture will Occur in 1988." It sold over 4 million copies.

I remember Pat Robertson shivering with anticipation of this date.
But the poor sap is still here, shivering in pain as he tries to squirt out another few drops of piss from his ancient unraptured body.

These people need to be mocked, not understood.

This man knows the answers...or, not.

Uranus: Is it just involuntary pelvic contractions, or is it Christ's second coming?

Nah, he's just breathin' hard.
