Why is it people nowadays, especially those religious people would think that the world will end everytime natural camalities occured? We have already natural camilities like earthquake, tsunami etc. from the past up to these days, isn't it? It does not change at all. I have met someone whose very religious and she told me that it's already a three days of darkness because of what she heard in Japan about earthquake. I don't understand the meaning she's trying to say to me. How could we have a three days darkness? --- is it because of the earthquake happened in Japan? I do not understand her.

There was no three days of darkness. She may have been very scared herself and confused her facts.

it all contributed to the 2012 hoopla.a lot of people believed that 2012 is the end of the world.I don't actually believe it.I do get scared though that lately earthquakes happen from time to time.by default,Japan lies on the Pacific area where earthquakes usually happen.Japanese are actually used to earthquakes,but I have to admit that what happened yesterday is really,really damaging.we humans cannot really predict when the end of the world will come.

EARTHQUAKES ARE NOT THE END OF THE WORLD! Okay, now that I have established that. Earthquakes are part of the natural course of existence. I have live with earthquakes all of my life, and I know that it is what it is. You just deal with it. Japan has had several earthquakes like this before, but not as big as this one. This is the fifth biggest one in history according to Cal Tech Seismologist. Now, coming from a state that has Earthquakes quite often, we just know that we have to be ready. We ALWAYS have to be ready. The end of the world is not hear just because we have had Earthquakes this year and last year.

i see this issue from your point of view. i don't understand it either. however, the only thing i can think of that could cause 3 days of darkness would be an asteroid impact.

Perhaps people are hoping God will come save them from all their troubles. Little do they realize that God is counting on them to overcome the problems instead of running from them. People are acting like it is some big surprise that Japan has earthquakes, however the movement in the Earth's plates which caused the earthquakes also created the island of Japan in the first place. Without one, you would not have the other.

I think so, humans are so sinner that God needs to destroy the world and start resurrect them.
