I have emphatic confidence in the Biblical historical record.
I don't think much of a lot of the blathering assertions related thereto, hereon.
And many folks attributions re God and His righteousness, purity, love, justice, mercy etc. are wildly off the wall and off the mark, imho.

However, God also has a standard of not judging folks lest we be judged by the measure we judge others by.
I seem to recall he once wiped out virtually all life on Earth, just because he didn't like the attitude of a few humans in a couple of towns in the Middle East. Hardly a standard of judgement I would aspire to
It wasn't the attitude of a few that the earth was wiped out for.. It was the attitude of 99% of the population of that time.. Now it is closely beginning to be exactly that same way again.. Folks like yourself could be the reason why history might just repeat itself again soon in some devastating disaster.. A lack of belief or faith and extreme wickedness in the world was the sole reason for the great deluge..
It definitely wasn't the attitudes of a few.. You can redefine the reasons just so you feel better, but it certainly isn't true.. Do you wish to be like those that caused the flood?

What did the kangaroos and polar bears or even the bamboo and oaks ever do to deserve violent death at the hands of a homocidal maniac (assuming one believes the conflicting folk tales in the Pentateuch to be true - I'm obviously playing deveil's advocate in that respect )
And besides, if God had given us freewill, then that means we have freewill. Which includes the freewill to not worship a vicious, venegful deity. Or are we just supposed to be automatons folowing the strict instructions of our Lord and Master?
Anyway, all OT. There's as much chance of a 9.7mag earthquake in California tomorrow as there is of me winning the lottery every day this month.
And for the record, I checked with Thor, Vishnu and the Dagda earlier today and they assure me no such earthquake will occur.

(Even Noah didn't get a Wiki-level summary with detail about the rainy days to come. God's own book never showed Him to be specific to that level.)

Straight off let me say I think this is a load of bunk.
I'm posting this for a few reasons.
1 - Doom porn is a hoot. We'll enjoy heckling it.
2 - More than a few people seem to think that every time someone claims that God is talking to someone, it's automatically true. So on October 4th, when this thing hasn't happened, perhaps those people will finally understand that not everyone who claims visions from God really gets them.
So .. in the spirit of 'failure watch' ... I present the following 'prophecy' -
9.7 Earthquake Coming to West Coast USA on Oct 3, 2013
Three independent sources have recently claimed the Lord told them a large earthquake is going to hit the west coast of the United States on Thursday, October 3, 2013. Two of these sources identified the earthquake will measure 9.7 on the Richter scale. That would make it the largest earthquake in recorded history. ...
According to these sources, the Golden Gate Bridge will be broken in half by the tsunami. The remains of the bridge will be moved into a vertical position. The San Francisco valley will be flooded with water.
The following provides testimonies from each of these three sources.
The article goes on to state exactly the 'prophecies' from the people.
And of course, if a 9.7 hits the USA West Coast, I'll admit that I jumped the gun in automatically dismissing these 'prophecies'. However, looking at the other articles on the site, I have to say I'm very confident this 'prophecy' isn't going to come to pass. Other articles include ... 'the housing bubble is about to burst' ... HELLO? The housing bubble burst years ago. There is no housing bubble.

Why does no one talk about my amazing predictions hit rate of 100% so far ...
Every time some one has posted these "end of the world/major event" threads, I made a prediction that nothing would happen, and so far I have been correct 100% of the time ...
I must be some kind of sorcerer
So once again I will make a prediction that nothing out of the ordinary will happen on October the 4th, 2013 (and hey I don't even need a god to tell me ... maybe I'm on some other kind of level haha)
Lets see if my 100% success rate will be continued ... and once again I will step in to glory as my predictions come true, time and time again.
I dare anyone to stand up to my predicting powers as I have had a 100% hit rate for the last 5 years.
