2012

Gee, I'm all about numbers and apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic movies today, eh?

The movie is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. Interesting.

Now, I don't believe in any god, and I definitely don't believe in a god who sets a deadline for the world, who kills off all his people on a whim. Why stop any advancement past 2012?

But I do think that if we're not careful, we will create an apocalypse for ourselves - either through nuclear war or excess pollution. Or maybe even the Machine described in the movie 9, although we probably won't be creating sentient/semi-sentient robots in the near future.

I say this, but I sit here using electricity second by second. I've never gone out and planted a tree. Half the time I don't even turn off the lights when I leave the room. A lot of us are this way, I fear. We know of the dangers, but we choose to revel in our luxuries.

I am hypocritical, of course.
