This is an exciting time in Earth's history. We've got the chance to erase our past and create something beautiful and new. The fate of the world is and was always in our hands. Be brave, everyone.

Yes -- They can very easily be wrong about this.
There is no way science can predict a solar storm will hit the Earth two years before it happens.

Science can predict that the Sun may be more prone to storms, and they can predict one will happen a very short time before it does happen, plus they can predict where a storm would hit once it leaves the Sun. However, solar storms are directional, and they could just as easily be pointed away from the Earth rather than point towards the Earth.

I agree that there is a potential for a storm of this magnitude to hit the Earth, causing huge problems for satellites and our electrical grid, and that potential may be greatest around 2012.
HOWEVER, there is no way science could say it "will" happen in 2012.

Well, the only problem with that is human nature is still human nature. You can choose to "forget" what happened in the past all you want, but it won't change what humans do in the future. That is, unless you are figuring no humans will survive -- and if that is the case, we won't be brave, we'll just all be dead.

What exactly are you hoping would happen by "erasing our past"? How does erasing our past help create a better future?

How can't you see anything? Or can you?

I see that the Sun -- being 5,000,000,000 years old and only "middle-aged" -- is going to do what the Sun is going to do, and the brief existence of humans on this planet (our civilization is less than the blink of an eye compared to the Sun's existence) has no connection whatsoever with what the Sun will or won't do.

99.9% of the Sun's and Earth's existence has been without humans, and the Sun and Earth had been doing their thing long before humans civilization came into being (or humans at all, for that matter). The fact that we sprang up on this planet a mere 200,000 years ago is simply a "blip" in the life of the Sun, and should not even be noticed by the Sun.

That is, I don't believe that something so trivially minor (in the grand scheme of the Sun) as an oil spill, or a terrorist attack, or the Pope visiting Britain has any connection to a solar storm.

Book of eli?

...was a movie.

If you mean the Eli from the Bible's "Books of Samuel" (there is no "Book of Eli"), I don't think he has anything to do with a prophecy whereas the Sun wreaks havoc -- or any prophecy about bad things happening to the earth, as far as I can tell (but I'm not a biblical scholar).

Rather, the story of Eli is about a father who himself was a good man, but chose to look the other way and ignored the sins of his two sons -- and that led to the downfall of his sons and of Eli himself.

Well, isn't this just the active thread?

Make no mistake, there will be a solar storm. I wouldn't go so far as to say it'll kill everyone or anything like that, but there will be a massive toll.

It WILL fry all the electrical systems. TVs, Computers, satellites, everything. And it will take 4 to 10 years to recover. Sadly, Congress had passed a bill to fortify our electronic grid to prepare for this event, but the powers that be... the Senate if I remember right... put it down in favor of a Green bill. Our loss.

This is what's going to give the enemies of freedom the ability to take over. Martial Law will be declared.
Why do you think that FEMA has been hoarding "Coffin Liners" all over the US? It's in preparation for what they know will be coming.

They're not going to tell you the whole truth because it can't be stopped and mass panic will only make things worse.

Again, I urge you to pray and prepare yourself. It is by this tool that God can call us back to Him. When things get back, humans turn to God.

If you plan on turning to Allah... well, I wish you luck. you'll need it.

Not to be a debunking jerk to all those, Hey i hope we die 2012 people. But seing as they can´t even predict the solar storms that will happen next month, how are they suposed to be predicting something that it suposed to happen 2 years from now,, think about it.

Here´s some predictions.
Someone will die the next 2 years
Someone will cry the next 2 years
Someone will win the lottery the next 2 years
Someone will slap me silly with a open fist in the next 2 years

Atleast something posted here right now makes sence. You decide wich
