Throughout history there have been many predictions about the near future, the best known is probably the Mayan calendar which ends on a specific date; December 21st 2012. Hollywood has jumped on the bandwagon and produced a movie showing disaster and extreme calamities at that time. History channel has created a whole series listing the various legends, cultures and Biblical chapters that appear to predict an end of the world in our time. None however has looked at what this concept is doing to our civilisation. In all these productions the content of the predictions has been embellished to present a picture of doom and gloom and promote an expectation of catastrophe. There are however events that will occur in the near future that will contribute to the feeling of foreboding that many experience. There will be a supernova in a relatively near star, fortunately when this occurs the Earth will be close to its furthest point from this star that its orbit takes it. The sun will be betwee...

I was motivated to produce this Blog when my nine year old grand-daughter told me. “God is dead!” When I asked who had told her this she replied, “My teacher.” It is apparent that atheism is being taught in at least some Victorian (Australia) schools, whether as part of the school curriculum or just by a zealous teacher I cannot ascertain. A grandson who attended the same school had also made this statement some years earlier but I assumed that it was just an opinion garnered from friends; apparently that is not the case the doctrine is being actively promoted. It is for the benefit of these children and others like them that I have compiled this summary of religious concepts. Included is atheism because whether atheists want to accept it or not atheism is just a belief system like any other religious concept, it is no more provable than any other religion. Atheism: As asserted in the previous statement atheism is a set of beliefs that are just as much a paradigm as any other religion...

In an earlier blog I examined how the magnetosphere protects the Earth from the solar wind and how the solar wind protects us from cosmic microwaves so that our home planet exists like a bubble within a bubble protected from dangerous radiation. We also live in a universe where the various forces (nuclear, electromagnetic and gravity) are incredibly finely tuned to allow not only matter to exist but life itself. The universe is fine-tuned so that twenty different constants are in remarkable balance and we have no idea why. The forces are balanced one to 10 to the 37th power (that is ten followed by 37 zeroes), one to 10 to the 40th (40 zeroes) power and one to 10 to the 55th (55 zeroes) power; in short our universe should not even exist let alone support life. Climate has also been in the news and discussed at great length over the last few years and whether you subscribe to the concept of man made global warming or disagree with the idea you need to be aware of just how finely tuned t...

We live in a time of increasing unrest; violence and civil disobedience seem to increase everyday. Every disaster brings looters our churches are empty and our jails are full, older citizens are generally sure that there is a connection. In my lifetime, in my home state, I have seen murders increase from about two each y...

Hollywood has released a new movie about 2012, those who have pay TV may have also seen the History Channel present documentaries titled “The Lost Book of Nostradamus” and “Nostradamus 2012” as well as several shows about “Mayan Doomsday Prophecies” and similar themes. Many people are starting to ask, “Is it possible? Could all these predictions be true?” Several have asked me is it possible that the disasters presented in the movie could really happen. I have not seen the movie but I have seen shorts and been told of many of the things that feature in the film and my short answer is yes it is all possible. The producers have however ignored details of what predictions actually say. Various prophets predicted these events and the aftermath, not just the Mayans. The Bible, Nostradamus and others tell of a period of severe disruption. Not just cataclysmic weather and geological upheavals but of astronomical events, war and evil deeds done by men. What I consider one of the best explanati...

In my previous blog I explained that it is possible to see the future and that since 1989 I have been explaining why prophecy does not contradict the laws of physics. Now I would like to explain a little more about physics and the end of the world. Physicists have recently produced a number of papers about the eventual fate of the universe. The consensus is that it will expand until not only galaxies move so far apart that they can no longer see each other but so too will stars and planets and even atomic particles, so that the universe will consist only of random particles drifting in empty space. This rather gloomy view is not predicted to occur for many billions of years but this is not what prophecy tells us nor is it what I see in our future. The first thing we have to realise before we try to understand this is the structure of atoms and their behaviour in a gravitational field. In various publications I have written about density and gravity and how atoms behave, for instance; i...

Prophecy is beginning to dominate the public mind more than ever; much of this interest is because of the approach of dates mentioned in many prophecies. Hollywood is on the verge of releasing a new movie about 2012, those who have pay TV may have seen the History Channel present documentaries titled “The Lost Book of Nostradamus” and “Nostradamus 2012” as well as several shows about “Mayan Doomsday Prophecies” and similar themes. Many people are starting to ask, “Is it possible? Could all these predictions be true?” The producers of these shows have so far ignored what might just be the source of the most important predictions, the Bible. Bible scholars have known for many years that there are events occurring around the world that seem to be directly related to Biblical Prophecy; the prophets Ezekiel, Isaiah and Daniel all described in detail the “end times” and the New Testament Gospel includes prophecies made by Jesus Christ. Most of these are vague as to the actual date and concen...
