Innocent ’til proven guilty. Can you prove your accusation, or are you just one of those unthinking people who write off everyone who disagrees with you as “bought by X”?
“Why would you believe this guy more than believing a prophercy?”
Considering there were about 15 Armageddon, apocalypse, etc. predictions, just from the Christian perspective, in the 2005-6 year, why would I believe anything prophetic? They haven’t really shown effective before…
@LewisLane33 The earth will be flooded soon once the ice has melted, refreshing the earth and again can be frozen in an instant so we will have another iceage. Any prediction made today by scientists will be wrong because they will judge the timing of the ice melting by how much has been melting in the passed, when “infact” everything on earth is accelerating in pace. The ice reflects light into space also melting it, less ice there is, less light can be reflected, more heat means faster melting
@LewisLane33 There is no evidence for EVERYONE to believe, Evidence can only be believed by a single brain consuming enough information to understand for sure. The Mayan calendar doesnt end on 2012 21st Dec, its just the end of another cycle of there calendar, people can say that this means nothing, the end of the last cycle was roughly 5200 years ago, there is many evidence of materials including humans and plants which were frozen instantly 5200 years ago.
@Hleb02 “Why would you believe this guy”. Certainly a fair position to take, no-one should be accepting arguments from authority, but that goes just as well for prophesy, we shouldn’t just blindly believe that either. You seem quite certain what will happen in 2012, personally I take the line that I do not know, but have seen no compelling evidence to think that anything special will happen that year. Do you have some strong scientific evidence to the contrary that makes you so certain?
Why would you believe this guy more than believing a prophercy? because no one can imagine the end of the world. The world is on the verge of corruption wether anyone likes it or not, there WILL be a massive population reduction because thats the only way the earth can survive with humans on it. The solar flares in 2012 will penetrate our atmosphere most likely releasing all our toxic gases into space to recreate a clean atmosphere. Your thick if you think your going to be safe for much longer.

And that’s coming from a guy whose nick is a character from a comic book and makes lame comments that have nothing to do with the video itself acting like the typical agressive insecure guy who hides behind a monitor and think he’s cool by making a last ditch atempt to regain a little self-esteem by insulting other guys who actually do something productive….
you must be a very cool guy to hang around with xD.
Brian’s technique is preferable to some others who present themselves as mannequins and read in a monotone.
As for the joke, those who espouse each following apocalyps hoax will say each one is ‘really gonna kill us all’ in all sincerity. I’m in favour of poking a little fun at them.
Do astronomers predict solar eruptions in 2012 ?
Solar flares can damage electronic systems and we depend so much on these that some huge electricity and networks breakdown could bring water to apocalypse proponents mill.
If nothing special happens they will claim the change was supposed to happen on a spiritual level and we are not spiritually evolved enough to notice it. That escape hatch is ready and there are already lots of sites and videos about it.
I like the new background images. This is a good topic to start with, too. I’ve talked with friends about having an “End of the World” party on that night. It’s a Friday night, too, so when we wake up the next morning wishing the world had ended, at least we won’t have to go to work.
Which prophecy? The Mayans certainly never believed the Earth would be destroyed in 2012.

More ungrounded mainstream bull ZZZZZZ this guy is bought up to his neck !

This is much better then the one with the nauseating background where you stare down at us like we are your little minions.
Keep up the good work!

Rock! More Skeptoid, MORE!
Great show Brian, looking forward to seeing more in the future…even after 2012!
If you can do better, please post a video response.
Well done!

fucking idiots the world wont end in 2012 its a lot of bullshit if u think its real ur an idiot
Dunning, if you’re going to gyrate around like a bobblehead on a bumper car dash, just stick to audio podcasting.
And don’t write your own jokes, for Christ’s sake.
“But … forty eight really is gonna kill us all”?
I’ve seen people physically assaulted for better jokes than that.
We’re doomed! We’re doomed! We’re- What? Not doomed you say? Crap. Now I gotta get a life.
The new backgrounds get a thumbs up
After hearing you for so long it’s cool to see you. Hope you make a lot more videos Brain. Makes it easier to share and promote your work.
Well done Brian. Looking forward to your appearance at TAM Australia later in the year.
