Googling the Future

*
So tonight I decided to Google prophecy stuff, due to the fact that I had been inane enough to blog on that subject yesterday. Scary websites like this came up. I won't link you to any of the MANY biblical prophecy sites, each one offering a different correct version of what the Bible predicts for the future of humanity and our planet. I will tell you, though, that Russia invading Georgia on 08/08/08 sparked much interest amongst prophecy buffs.

And then there appeared a link to a National Geographic article which I do remember reading in the orthodontist's waiting room last spring. Here is the link to the photos that accompany the article, and they are quite amazing! From there, if you wish, you can click to the "Feature Article" about the Hadron Collider........one of the hottest, fastest things going in science right now. The Hadron Collider in Switzerland gets the most publicity, but there are two others in existence......one in Illinois, the other in California.
*
If you do read the article.......I especially appreciated the explanatory analogy given in the last paragraph on page 4........about mud, boots, and shoes. It was helpful in trying to picture what these physicists are talking about.
*
Unsubstantiated theories are being tossed around that the Hadron Collider will cause a black hole to form which will swallow up the Earth in the year 2012.......the date which marks the end of the world on the Mayan calendar. Why am I posting any of this? I think to help dispell my own fears and insecurities........the more I know, the less afraid I am. And, God's in charge, anyhow.

The W.O.W. factor! said...

You are so right, Jeannelle...God is in charge anyhow!
I heard about the one Switzerland, but not in the US. Will get out my Ntl Geo and read up on what they've published.
The Mayan Calendar...there was a documentary on about a yr or so ago I think on PBS...it has "intriqued" (?) me since.
There is so much on societies 'plates' these days...but I go back to relying on God.
Thanks for this info..
(now to find the right NG!)
Have a good day.
