Prophesy – US has only two more years

From Secular Blasphemy we learn that the US is doomed, doomed I tell you:

A thorough analysis of the Koran reveals that the US will cease to exist in the year 2007, according to research published by Palestinian scholar Ziad Silwadi.

The study, which has caught the attention of millions of Muslims worldwide, is based on in-depth interpretations of various verses in the Koran. It predicts that the US will be hit by a tsunami larger than that which recently struck southeast Asia.

There you have it – a definite date. (Well, year.) Remember that on 01.01.08 as you’re ringing in the happy New Year.

Of course, this particular “prophet” will have his excuses and rationalizations for why Armageddon didn’t arrive (although he will hope no one remembers by then). They all do. Remember this nut job who, two years ago, told us Planet X was going to destroy the world? Did she admit she was wrong? Don’t make me laugh. She wasn’t the only one though. Get a load of these: hundreds of failed prophesies from 2800 BC to the present day.

The big one in NewAge (rhymes with sewage) circles is 2012 – the supposed end of the Mayan calendar (which it isn’t). Anyway, there’s hardly a kook in town who doesn’t think something bad is going to happen then. And we’ve got seven more years of listening to them banging on about it. By 2007 I might be wishing for that tsunami.

It's no different from Hal Lindsey making end-of-the-world pronouncements based on his "in-depth" interpretation of Revelations. His best seller, The Late, Great Planet Earth is chockful of illogical inferences, stretching interpretations, outright fabrications and questionable "data." Sadly for him, the cold war ended and the Rapture still hasn't arrived.

2012 is not even a prime number, it can't be significant.
