 Give me a break. Being educated doesn't make us narrowminded or backwards. It just means we know bullshit when we see it.

The people saying im ridiculous are also saying that "god" makes them a rainbow as a promise to never flood the earth again. I guess it is me that's nuts?

Sorry to dig up this old topic, I was trying to find some information on the cx4 storm and found this. Do you have any specific sources for a flood/cataclysmic type myth in Asian folklore? It's clear to see that if one studies ancient Assyriology that most cultures of the near/middle east in that time period had some type of folklore regarding an event such as this. I'd simply be interested in studying any other such documented events in other regions of the world.
I'm not supporting this theory of a 10k year super mega shit storm, but to dismiss it as BS is like saying the earth does not go through ice ages or that god created Adam and Eve before the dinosaurs. |

 Actually, he really did fix that up. In europe the decimal point is also a comma. So a 7.62 x 51 here is 7,62 x 51 over there. So now if he will please fix that 100,00 and adjust it to 10,000,00 it will be showing the correct value I shall be very happy and I will also get off his back. |

I read a book about the whole ice-domed earth thing that was written in the 50s or 60s. "The Marvel of the Earth's Canopies". Its total BS.
Now, perhaps there is an occasional BIG storm on earth, kinda link the storm in the Day After Tomorrow, but not quite so stupid. BTW - the book that the movie is based off of was written by Art Bell, host of After Dark, on Coast to Coast AM.... He's a kook, to say the least. He's been right a couple times, but that doesn't excuse him from being a kook! I find it more likely that the Great Flood was either an act of God, or possibly a distant racial memory from a time when mankind was confined to one geographical region. A flood that wiped out most of us when intelligence was just dawning would probably have been passed down to just about everyone on Earth. As for the whole God thing, to each his own. Its highly unlikely that we came from the primordial ooze IMO - however, I understand, at least partially, that if there is no God, and random chance created life, and then sentient life, if the odds didn't happen, that there would never be a being to think "Hmm, that's unlikely". Therefore, no matter how unlikely, if it happened ONCE, somewhere out there - maybe here - there is a being thinking "HMMMM.... that sounds unlikely". :) |

I don't know about a storm or flood,but
I do believe in a natural cataclism occuring around every 12,000 years. I've heard theories from a meteor show ,to a change in the Earths eliptical orbit around the sun causing a slight shift in the polls. I've read several books and seen quite a few documentarys that have shown evidence of a periodic mass extermination that occurs around every 12,000 years. Pretty much all of these said there's no conclusive evidence of what causes it,just that around 60% of all species become extinct within a 2 year span. |

Wow, people really have a problem with their mortality.
If I expand that meaning of storm to represent turbulent weather, not just flooding, I am fairly confident that at least once in a 10,000 year stretch there will be a major weather event that will affect wide spread areas. I am not saying that a worldwide flood will just happen, at least not without a major change to the way the big ball orbits around the sun, but world wide destruction is not that difficult to comprehend. A significant perturbation of the planets rotation, or more likely, a chance impact with another large object in space, could easily disrupt life as we know it. Granted its unlikely to happen in our lifetime....but events like this have occurred on Earth and no doubt will again. I'm not a siesmic expert, but I would imagine that if a localized earthquake occurred with enough impact to significantly disrupt a tectonic plate and force a severe shift, that the movement could trigger a shift in an adjacent plate, and so on, and so on....creating a chain reaction which results in a global quake. With every ocean and sea sitting on top of an earthquake, all at the same time, it is pretty easy to imagine worldwide destruction. Im not saying it will happen, but I dont think its possible to prove that it cant happen either. Highly unlikely? Sure. Impossible? probably not. Something to prepare for? No point - nothing we could do anyway. |

Boy did you pick the wrong forum.
Most of the guys in GD are still in denial their wives left them let alone the possiblity of an asteroid strike. Besides, nothing to prepare for anyway since you don't know when or how bad and probably not anything you can do about it anyway. Not on my tinfoil radar list and my tinfoil has antennas. Can it happen, yea! Will some of these guys be standing on top of the building waving a welcome poster, probably.  Tj |

I don't understand anything I know about this topic.
I think my house will float - lots of wood. I have a few cans of soup put away for emergencies, and a big truck tire tube to blow up "just in case." My cat's litter box will float, too. I'll be just fine. |

Of course it only works in a glass of ice tea, but don't you see? [southpark astronomer] Ice tea has tea in it. There is also ice in it. Sometimes people put sugar in it, sometimes a lemon... You need a spoon to stir it... There is no spoon... Keanu Reeves heard that from that little bald kid... Laurence Fishburne was also in that movie... Fishburne is black... So is Samuel L. Jackson... Samuel L. Jackson will destroy the Earth! With an AK-47!! "AK-47! When absolutely everything on the Earth must be killed, accept no substitutes! For I am my brother's keeper!"

Had too. Its said to be linked to the great floods of the past. It would be interesting if it turns out to be real and it prove that the accient civilizations did see it the last time it came around .. It could also be what is causing the current events going on with the sun. Something caused the sun's magnetic poles to flip. Something is exiting the sun to act up, and its not something that man is doing here on Earth. If the sun is heating up all the planets all the way to Pluto, cant we agree that the Earth is warming because of the sun and not man. The Enterprise Mission story is linked to NASA findings and facts that scientist once said that these events have not and would not happen.. The old science guards dont like changes, or the theories proved wrong. |

is it possible that every 10000 years nature will create a seriously bad storm... sure it is.
that said since people beleive the earth is only 6000 years old it would stand to reason we have not seen it yet. also that rainbow thing isn't a promise. It's where i'm hiding me lucky charms. |

well there are a fair number of geoligists that have came to the conclusion that major big tsunami's happen on a regular basis. I forget the number but its in the magnatude of 1000's of years.

Talk about Tsunami's.. This one is the most deadliest to the east coast of the US. La Palma The landslide could cause a tsunami that would be over 1000 ft in hieght with a wave lenght as long as 120 miles start to finish. That's only one wave of many. Its suppose to be able to go completely go over Florida, Bermuda, Cuba, And the Virgin Islands. It will be able to travel over 500 miles into the Amazon river and its tributaries. Yes.. This wave and floods would be Biblical proportions..

That's imaginary too. There's a concensious on ARFCOM so it can't ever happen. Last years Tsunami was fabricated by Hollywood. Except when our threads called to have everyone who survived nuked.

That super Tsunami show sucked. It only talked breifly about the faultline on the west coast, not La Palma. Then it went back to the Asian Tsunami. The producer reuses the film footage for all his socalled new shows on the tsunamis.. La Palma isn't the only island to have a landslide that will hit the US. We should be greatfull that is was only 25 acres of the the Big Island. Had it been the 22 mile strech of the Island the west coast of the US would have been hit with a giant tsunami. The Tsunami show omitted that as a greater danger to the US mainland.. Link |

You’re wrong. The flood myths that have common elements are all from Indo-European civilizations. These cultures have a lot more in common than just a flood myth. The reason being is that they all come from the same original culture that spread across the Eurasian land mass. IF you ever take a comparative myth or classical mythology story you will learn that Greek/Roman/Hittite/Sumerian/Egyptian/etc myth have a lot of elements in common. I should add a lot of ancient cultures have a lot of mythology that is strangely similar to Christian beliefs... |

Without having read any more than the 1st page, I'll say that they have geologic records of numerous flood events. An epochal flood every 10,000 years may be a normal event, just like the shifting of the magnetic poles. The time span of human existence on planet Earth is a blip compared to geologic records.
I'm nearly sure these catastrophes will happen again but as our lifespan is only around 100 years and the events are every 10,000 years, even insurance companies are not making book on them.
