Of course in those days it was possible to move to a new spot and start again, hence the idea that civilisation is cyclic ... but I think to blame these events on divine intervention would require something other than the currently available evidence, which all seems to point to natural causes (at least if Ronald Wright is to be believed). Obviously these things get mythologised and turned into the wrath of God in retrospect, but that is just normal human nature at work - *schadenfreude* and all that. > > I'm posting below some relevant verses/links for your perusal: > > http://quran.com/21/1 Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while > they turn away in heedlessness. > > http://quran.com/7/187 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when > is its arrival?

The ultimate wake-up call, which even returns the dead to life. Actually I'm surprised that the Quran's version IS so similar, although I suppose I shouldn't be - we now know that the Middle Eastern religions all have fairly similar origins, I think? Plus links to the Egyptian religion (Jesus=Osiris etc, IIRC) The Christian version involves the dead being resurrected physically, reagrdless of the manner of their death or whether they were buried, cremated, etc. This would cause the appearance of around 100 billion people (if the introduction to "2001" is to be believed). Approximately one for each star in the galaxy. (Maybe God will give each one a solar system of his or her own.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
