Colony Collapse Disorder

These are all widely known fortellings of the apacoplypse, what i said was the fortelling of the antichrist. A little known fact is there are a lot of people out there that think the pope is the antichrist

Are you familar with the robot saying: DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!

Anyways, haven't you started arguments with teachers over the Catholic church?

[Rev Rabies]

they aren't a well known group, so it's a little known fact

And the arguement was over one person having literal powers, i've got no problem with the catholic church, but saying one man cannot lie when speaking about catholicism is just a tad too much

[Fishalicious]

the reason the calender stops is because they didn't update it. if they were alive today, they would have updated the calendar.

And let's not forget that other things pollinate- the wind, bats, birds, people...

[Rev Rabies]

Yeah, like i said, zv just said a bunch of stuff that seem to fit well

[darkphantomime]

Those are hardly 'facts' though.

[Rev Rabies]

Actually that's not true, they are all true facts, but they have nothing to do with each other at all

[darkphantomime]

Stuff dealing with the antichrist/end of the world hardly qualify as 'facts' simply because they have yet to happen.

[Rev Rabies]

well, they have been stated in some holy document, and if you remember, a fact is something that can be proven true or false

[MagmarFire]

Actually, a fact is more along the lines of something that is universally accepted to be true within a certain frame of reference or opinion. If it could be proven false, then it wouldn't be a fact, would it?

[Fishalicious]

so if something's written in a book, it's true, and a fact?

if one were to say "it is stated that ___," then that would be a fact. however, I don't recall seeing that in this topic.

are you saying the bible isn't true?

[Fishalicious]

The bible was originally written by a man, and has changed several times over the course of history.

It is not to be used as a single source; you are to back it up with other information. And since you can't back up something that hasn't happened yet, I am in fact saying that this "fact" of yours isn't a fact.

[MagmarFire]

I myself am not saying the Bible's false, but it can be interpreted several ways and still hold true.

Four years from now, the Aztec calendar stops... Hm... What did Commodore say about this kind of thing before...?

Yay! Somebody remembers something I said before!

Ahem, first of all, it's the Mayan calendar that mysteriously ends on December 21, 2012; the Aztec calendar is similar, though, so they very well could have had the same cycles and whatnot.

Second of all, it only ends because that was the end of that particular cycle on the calendar. The Mayans were very big on astronomy and predicted numerous things in their time; December 12, 2012 is the date that the Earth will move either above or below (can't remember which) the galactic plane of the Milky Way. Now, the Mayans were pretty religious and this would have been a big deal for them, but they in no way predicted anything about the fate of the world. And, as Fisk said, if they were alive now they would be working on an entirely new cycle.

well that's your belief, i believe that god's words are fact, yeah, the bible wasn't written by god, but the people who wrote it were inspired by god, so it's his words, and i believe it to be fact.
