yes but this was later retracted when i examined the scriptures and came to the realisation that it mentions nothing about their accelerated frequency. If you search the thread you will find it, too bad for you, oh well, poor atheistic saplings, outsmarted again. never the less, lets consider the data,
The biggest earthquake ever recorded, of ma ...[text shortened]... r was that 1960, 1965 and 2004, the modern era? that gotta be painful for our atheist nooblings!

So your OP is basically a steaming pile of dung?
lets consider the facts
20th century most murderous, two world wars etc
20th century biggest earthquakes ever recorded
20th century huge famines, 40,000,000 in one country alone
and not a single valid aesthetic refutation other than vain attempts to utilise conjecture and supposition, semantic arguments and logical fallacies, appeals to ignorance and much more. Oh well.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere has been no statistically significant increase in the number of earthquakes. Further two of your "biggest earthquakes in history" happened over fifty years ago. What is more, your claim that the 20th Century saw a rise in earthquakes is further flawed by the absence of any reliable scientific data from before around 1900.

You've failed to demonstrate that the 20th Century has seen an unprecedented rise in wars and famines. Even if there had been a rise in all these things it would not follow that an ancient prophesy is being fulfilled as you'd have to show it was due to more than coincidence.
You haven't demonstrated anything other than a willingness to interpret data to suit your ends and your usual habit of argument by insult.

How can you correlate earthquakes which any educated person knows they come from the grinding of continents together, where a lock occurs and rocks build up pressure till the rock gives way and instant earthquake happens which has been going on for millions of years, then just assume since there are words ALLEGEDLY said by JC about earthquakes and just assume now that a few big ones have hit, MUST BE FROM JC's prophecy.
Especially since you have no knowledge of big ones in the past, except for that pesky one "Joshua fought the battle of Jerico and the walls came tumbling down', why wasn't THAT the prophecy fulfilled? That was even before JC so I guess THOSE big ones don't count.
And the one on Masada in Israel.
It is just wishful thinking we are in some end day thing.
Mark my word, a hundred years from now, humans will still be here and there will be bible thumpers saying NOW is the last days.
And a hundred years after that, same thing, and a hundred years after that, same thing,
JUST LIKE IT HAS BEEN FOR THE PAST 2000 YEARS, but each 'present' day has always been 'special' and THEY thought it was the last days.
Just how many of those false prophecies have to go by before people catch on to the scam?
