I don't really see whats so crazy about predicting earth quakes. I think the dude made a lot of sense. He's not using dead fish and full moons as some sort of voodoo or symbolism, he's using science, patterns and logic.

Think about it, during this seismic window the earth will be undergoing huge stresses with the different tides, and thats going to shift, squeeze and grind the tectonic plates as they absorb these huge forces. I'm no geologist but if you know a bit about the earth was formed it's not that crazy to imagine.

You guys have a lot more to worry about than earthquake. It's true large earthquakes scare us and make us think about our future, but there is something more serious coming soon.

I bet he can predict the Rapture too.

He probably has a direct link with Zeus.

Perhaps he doesn't believe the word of Jesus Christ as written in the gospel of Mark, Chapter 13, specifically verses 24-32. Focus on verse 32...

For those not versed in the Bible teachings:

24But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

25And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

26And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

27And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

28Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near:

29So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors.

30Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

31Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.

my goodness...

USGS and all others has been saying this for DECADES!

i mean 20-30 years ago, when i was a young'en and going to public schools. we were drilled that calif is looking at a major EQ in the next 20-30 years...



look folks...

we know we live in EQ. no doubt about it. there is no predicting it so the only choice we have is to prepare for SURVIVING that big one, IF AND WHEN it comes.

the one good thing to come out of the japan event is that once again... prepping is in the minds of everyone.

as the boy scout saying goes, "BE PREPARED"...

Angels are "aliens" or extra terrestrials btw. When Adam and Eve were born that's genetic engeneerin from the aliens from the start take the limb from Adam and make eve. What is the heavens? It is space. He'll isn't a place of fire it's just void. We are in the end days and "in the beginning god created heavens and earth. So what was before the beginning and who says a god Kant create a god and make it so the other god never knew it was created?

My brother called me from China last week saying some no name ppl predicted the quake in japan. And have also predicted for us to have a quake on the 19th. I'm not one to believe this prediction bs if there are no hard facts behind it. Then I got a call from my other brother talking about the same s**t. I gotta say they have me believing it now. Rather safe than sorry :P
Truth is we're far over due for the "big one" in Cali.

Well put. It is not really a well formed theory. He is simply pointing out that when the earth gets extreme gravitational forces exerted on it by the sun and moon...the loading on the locked up portions of the geologic plates changes a little. That is factual. He doesn't know how exactly it changes...just that it changes. Perhaps it will induce a slip...perhaps not.

my friend talked to his dad who is a geologist and his dad said that he knows that guy in the video and he is extremely infamous for making claims like such in the geologist world. LOLL

Yep. And looking at three large quakes around the ring of fire, you can imagine the process of whats happening. Convection currents swirling underneath the pacific plate in a clockwise motion. Amazing stuff! I'm sure I'm a geologist in another life

All of this has definately put me in the mindset that I need to get prepared. I hope a large earthquake does not happen, but it will eventually. For all this talk about the end of the world I think it may be a little much. Although I have always been curious what will happen in 2012.
