Doomsday Predictions
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
There are many beings who believe that there will
be a day on which the world ends. These people share several things
beside pessimism and strange footwear, and one of them is the ability to
make everyone around them more than slightly fearful that life as they
know it will suddenly, and without warning, cease.
The day on which this
event will happen is widely known as Doomsday, or Judgement Day, or
National No Smoking Day and the theories surrounding how this event will
happen sit somewhere along the scale between downright outrageous and
just plain silly.
There are those who believe that the world will end in
a Bang, others that it will just Fade Out. Many believe that some
supreme deity will descend from His, Her or Its ethereal realm and squash
all those who didn't do as they were told.
Even more believe that
whoever left the planet there in the first place will realise their
mistake and come back to get it. Some believe a global war will do the
deed, others blame disease, famine, bad timing, The Americans or anything
that seems good at the time.
The thing they collectively fail to realise
is that Doomsday has already happened. What they recognise to be their
world now is nothing more than the after-effects of a nasty accident. It
can't happen twice. Honestly.
