I understand what you are saying jake11, but we must always be cautious about jumping to such conclusions. Sometimes bad things, or bad news, or bad scientific findings just happen. Every time they do, does not mean the end of the world is just around the corner. If I slip on the ice outside my house and break my leg, does that mean the Apocalypse is imminent?
My point is that all new findings, all new knowledge, whether good or bad, needs to be tempered with reason. If not, then the "end times" may be brought about, not so much by the things happening, but instead by our reaction to them. The prophecies might end up being self-fullfilling.
