I've been having interesting conversations with friends lately about the end of the world. I'll admit right now that I'm a big History Channel fan, though I think a lot of their facts are skewed. Over the last week they have been showing a plethora of specials about the Apocalypse, the end of the world and various doomsday theories. One such show parallels the prophecies of Nostradamus, the Mayan priests, and others and their belief about something catastrophic that will occur on December 21, 2012. I have my doubts that there is anything significant about that date other than it will be the Winter Solstice for that year.
I guess I bring this up because I feel like for the first time in my life I'm beginning to think about my own mortality. In a lot of ways I feel a sense of fear and apprehension about the future. This is probably common, and I might return to this subject in a later post. For the moment I'm just curious what your thought are concerning the end of the world. What do you believe about it? What are your feelings regarding it?

Here's my thoughts - I don't think there's going to a biblical end of the world, except in the sense of epic and grandiose scale. However, if there were, I can't imagine it would be for an extremely long time. Humanity hasn't evolved into the people we have the potential to be yet - we haven't fulfilled our purpose.
