Apocalypse now, again...


Well folks it must be that time of year again, time for the apocalypse! According to people that adhere to "Bible-code theory" (whatever that is?) are predicting that 23rd April 2018 is the date that the world will end. My prediction is that their prediction is about as reliable and accurate as the Bible itself, i.e. in no way any representation of reality. Fortunately reality is where we actually live and not in some supernatural Disney-Land invented by prehistoric goat-herders and embellished by 4th century empire-builders.

One of these days though, one of these predictions is actually going to be true! There are so many with such frequency that its like predicting the lottery numbers, if you make enough guesses eventually probability will be in your favour. By that time though I suspect the Sun will have expanded to become a red-dwarf and there'll be an infinite number of Humans with an infinite number of religions and gods, fortunately, I'm pretty certain I won't be around to see it.
