Recently, a 50 year old time capsule was openned up at a local elementary school. The capsule was suppose to contain pictures, letters, and other messages school children at the time wanted to give to school children 50 years in their future. The ceremony was quite lively as many authors of those messages (now adults) attended.
While other school children received pictures and letters, my nephew got a paper filled with seemingly random numbers. Bored with the message, he gave it to me. That night as I was glancing through the numbers, a sequence of numbers caught my attention. It read 91101. Followed it was the number 2996. A quick search on the internet turned out that 2996 people died on september 11th of 2001. Captivated by this "coincidence", I spent the rest of the night looking through and searching on the internet the dates and number of deaths of written on the paper. By the morning, I was able to pick out a definite pattern of dates and number of deaths of every major disaster world wide in the last 50 years.
Between these dates and numbers of casualties were seemingly random numbers that I, at the time, hadn't figured out what they meant yet. In order to see if this piece of paper indeed could predict the future, I began to monitor the news for what the paper predicts as the next major disaster. Incredibly enough, there was a disaster on that exact date where that exact number of people perished. What's more, it occurred to me that those random numbers between the dates were actually GPS coordinates.
This brings me to the crux of the matter. The last date shown on the message is 2 days from now. There's no number of death and there's no GPS coordinates. I have to assume that this upcoming disaster will happen everywhere and that it will affect everyone.
When I was about 20, I turned into an atheist after spending all my life as a devout fundamentalist christian. Now that I am faced with my own mortality as well as the mortality of every other human being on Earth, should I turn back to god or should I continue to deny god's existence? Will "Judgement Day" be a planned event meant as a wakeup call for all of us or will it just be an event, one of many in the universe?
