I had a terrible night out; somebody threw up on my legs and my camera got broken by some idiot to give the top two reasons why it was so terrible - the world is ending. I now believe.

ha, perfect timing

Yellowstone National Park is moving

Reported by: Brent Hunsaker

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyoming (ABC 4 News) - The nation's oldest park is also one of the most studied. The interest is not just in it's amazing vistas and wildlife, but in the volcanic beast below the park.

Yellowstone sits atop one of the world's biggest, active volcanoes, one capable of laying waste to much of north America.

Scientists keep an eye on it using a network of seismic and GPS sensors.

Professor Emeritus Robert Smith of the University of Utah is one of those scientists. A geophysicist, Smith a leading expert on the Yellowstone super volcano. "We monitor it in real time for earthquake swarms and ground deformation."

He says the park is in constant motion. Visitors can't see it, but the ground at their feet is moving up and down as magma pushes against the thin crust and powers the park's many geysers.

The changes are most evident at the Norris Geyser Basin. Henry Heasler, the Yellowstone Park geologist said, "It changes daily. Sometimes it's hard to keep up with the change near boardwalks because that impacts visitor and employee safety."

"Why are all the hydrothermal features here?" Heasler continued, "The geysers? The mud pots? The steam vents? The hot springs? It's because of the heat beneath our feet."

The heat from the volcano.

And beginning in 2004, volcanic pressure caused an amazing rise at the park: Three-inches a year for five-years.

Professor Smith said, "That's a lot of uplift and it's over an area that's over the entire Yellowstone caldera -- 50-miles long of uplift."

"If you went under a rubber sheet," Heasler said describing the uplift, "And pushed your thumb up, it's not just sticking up where your thumb is, there's like a slope to it."

In fact, as the land has bulged, Yellowstone lake has tilted enough that its water has flooded out trees on the south thumbs.

And now, the ground is sinking.

And the drop has brought up a whole new set of questions for scientists. "Why haven't the trees emerged again?" asked Heasler. "We don't know." They are watching the data as well as the geothermal features of the park for clues.

At times, those geologists see themselves are doctors monitoring a patient. In this case, the patient took a deep breath (between 2004-09) and now it is letting it out. That much is clear from the observations.

The unanswered question is, "why?"

49 mins until lift off! aka 6pm in new zealand.
These retarded nutters are doing a great job of finishing off the last shreds of credibility religion had in this day and age.
I hope they keep up the good work.
The 6 month window was only added later in the desperate hope that a biggish quake will strike during that time and seeing as 5.0's happen on a daily basis im sure these will be made the most of during that time.

Enough said.

Some notable rapture predictions include the following:

1844 - William Miller predicted Christ would return between March 21, 1843 and March 21, 1844, then revised his prediction, claiming to have miscalculated Scripture, to October 22, 1844. The realization that the predictions were incorrect resulted in a Great Disappointment. Miller's theology gave rise to the Advent movement. The Baha'is believe that Christ did return as Miller predicted in 1844, with the advent of The Báb, and numerous Miller-like prophetic predictions from many religions are given in William Sears book, Thief in The Night.

1914, 1918, 1925, 1942- Dates set for the end by the Jehovah's Witnesses

1981 - Chuck Smith predicted that Jesus would probably return by 1981.

1988 - Publication of 88 Reasons why the Rapture is in 1988, by Edgar C. Whisenant.

1989 - Publication of The final shout: Rapture report 1989, by Edgar Whisenant. More predictions by this author appeared for 1992, 1995, and other years.

1992 - Korean group "Mission for the Coming Days" predicted October 28, 1992 as the date for the rapture.

1993 - Seven years before the year 2000. The rapture would have to start to allow for seven years of the Tribulation before the Return in 2000. Multiple predictions.

1994 - Pastor John Hinkle of Christ Church in Los Angeles predicted June 9, 1994. Radio evangelist Harold Camping predicted September 6, 1994.

2011 - Harold Camping's revised prediction has May 21, 2011 as the date of the rapture.

2060 - Sir Isaac Newton proposed, based upon his calculations using figures from the book of Daniel, that the Apocalypse could happen no earlier than 2060.

They've been at it for years. It's just a tactic Christianity uses to scare people into joining the church and gain followers.

If it didn't happen all of those times ^, it won't today lol.
