Reliability of sole source
[edit]The sole source cited by this article is a book by Bob Larson, a televangelist. This would almost certainly count as a extremist and unscholarly source on a New Age concept. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 08:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
P.R. Sarkar
[edit]- http://www.emergenzaacqua.net/ does not appear to be a reliable source
- No third-party material has been presented demonstrating that Sarkar's views are noteworthy.
I have therefore reverted this material. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 16:08, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
only a matter of time
[edit]the article defines "Earth Changes" as a "belief that the world would soon enter a series of cataclysmic events".
the word "soon" is the only controversial part here, because "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero" (Fight Club), so its only a matter of time when everything will die.
so the good news is that we will probably (P=99%) not witness such "doomsday events" in our livetimes, but the bad news is that future generations will witness such events 100%, they will just have to wait long enough.
see also the Timeline of the far future, which i have summarized in my book like this: """When will all people die? There are approximate forecasts for this, for example in the Wikipedia article "Timeline of the far future": In 100 million years, an asteroid may hit the earth, that is the same size as the asteroid 66 million years ago, that killed all the dinosaurs. Movie: Dont Look Up (2021). In 250 million years, all continents will grow together to form a super-continent, there will be more volcanic eruptions and earthquakes, solar radiation will become stronger, and temperatures will rise. These conditions will make life increasingly difficult for animals and plants, and may trigger mass extinctions. In 500 million years, perhaps a gamma ray or supernova will hit Earth and trigger a mass extinction. In 600 million years, solar radiation will become increasingly stronger, so that more and more CO2 will be stored in stones. There will be less and less CO2 in the air so C3-photosynthesis will no longer work, so 99% of today's plants will die. In 1000 million years only single-celled organisms will live on earth, in mountain lakes or in caves. So by then everyone will be dead."""
