I wouldn't call them "spiritual fascists". I'd just call them "idiots".

Let's take these one at a time in order to give each proper consideration... The fact that these planets exist doesn't diminish the distances one needs to travel to get to them. You talk about "common sense", but think for a moment. How much resources would an alien race have to be expend to...

I'd say it's a lot more likely to happen, than to have orbiting planets speed up, slow down or come to screeching stops, which is what would be necessary for Victor's alignment to occur on December 21, 2012. Wouldn't you agree?

Luecy, the value of your posts is what is becoming more questionable. You do realize (I hope) that the notion of perfect (or "direct", "lined up in a row") planetary alignment came from Victor and not from me ... I merely provided evidence, from three sources now, that shows there is no...

So it follows that one will happen in Australia because nature has a thing for rectangles? I don't think I'd hang my hat on that one.

Buddhists (at least the ones I know of) don't believe in souls. And only seven incarnations? Man. That is one over-achiever.

Perhaps my problem is in your definition of "ample", or "evidence". Because in you list, I can only find one thing that I believe in (life after death ... sort of) but it's not based on evidence, it's based on faith. What ample, physical, empirical and TANGIBLE evidence do you have to prove...

Actually, I believe Buddhism tells us that we're all perfect just as we are. Pacifying the mind simply helps us see the perfection that was always there.

I never claimed that our current understanding about the positions of planets was "perfect". What human knowledge could be described that way? It is however a close enough "approximation" for us to spend billions of dollars on a space program that has sent probes that have either landed or...

Have you considered a career in politics? That post hints to a talent for obfuscation that should not go to waste. But for the record, yes, I too find the alignment of planets to be just fine as they are. I wouldn't change a thing. :rolleyes:

Just enough time for one more short reply... The only question here is whether there will be a perfect alignment of planets on 12/21/2012. I presented evidence to show that's not true. Do you wish to refute that evidence?

That's cool. If you can't see the difference then I have two options. I can either attempt to demonstrate the difference based on evidence and logical argument, or I can shrug my shoulders and conclude that everybody has a different capacity to understand and accept scientific evidence and...

From wikipedia... Each astrological age is approximately 2,150 years-long, on average, but there are various methods of calculating this length that may yield longer or shorter time spans depending upon the technique used. The approximate 2150 years for each age corresponds to the gyration...

Not a radical... just a newscaster. And the tsunami will reach L.A. Though it will probably be too small to have much of an impact. Prayers for Japan. _/!\_

It helps to keep the spammers down. But just a couple more posts and you're good to go. And thanks for lending one more rational voice to the thread.

The internet is filled with information that is false. It's important to discern the source and to corroborate that information with reputable ones. The problem is that you've thrown in your hat with end-of-the-world believers and not astronomers. If you want to know the position of planets...

What's wrong with sounding a little skeptical? Victor has provided us ample reason to be skeptical.

Victor, if you had used the tools that I linked to you'd have found that there is no alignment happening on December 21, 2012. I've included screen shots using the web tools that I linked to previously that show the results from midnight on that date. Please note once again that the two...

Hmmm... wanting answers? Wanting to know the truth... and daring to ask? Did you dare to ask about the source for your contention that "...on that date ALL the planets in our solar system will be in a direct alignment with the center of our galaxy"? According to what I found that isn't even...

Cool. That should be easy to tell then. Just out of curiosity... what will it mean to you if that day passes and nothing does happen?
