I simply cannot wait to see the upcoming movie ’2012′, coming to a big screen near you on November 13. I must say, although CGI drenched, the trailer looks absolutely awesome.

For those of you unfamiliar with the current cuffufle about the year 2012, let me enlighten you. Apparently, the ancient Mayan Calendar ends on December 21, 2012, marking an end of a 5,126-year era. That’s it folks… and many people are quite literally freaking out that Dec 12, 2012 will indeed be doomsday (and in the meantime Columbia Pictures are using the opportunity to make a few bucks).

Do I believe the world will end in 2012? No way Jose. My reason? Because the Bible says quite specifically that no one knows when that day will be, not even God the Son (Jesus Christ), only God the Father (Matthew 24).

So I ask you… Do you place more faith in an old Mayan calendar, than in the infallible Word of God? Unfortunately, it would seem that many people do.

Getting back to the end of the world… The Bible does tell us to be ready for that day… and I am hoping that if nothing else, this movie will make people think about what is important to them, about eternity, and if they are ready to meet their Maker.

Peace Out.

I have always thought that our planet has a lot of water (understatement again). With over 70% of the Earth’s surface covered with water, in some parts over 10km deep, any educated person would naturally believe that there is more than enough H20 to go around.

Well, actually…

If every drop of water in the world (1.4087 billion cubic kilometres of it) including sea water, ice, lakes, rivers, ground water, clouds, etc. was collected in a single sphere, it would be just over 1400 kms across – barely big enough to cover Eastern Europe.

I still find it hard to believe, nevertheless, the math works out. Click here if you are skeptical.
