The son is having its polar reversal the same year, 2012, weird that both are doing it at the same time?? I read an article once that said that this could the the heavens being scrolled back in revelation?? If thats true, we are really close! Hallelujah, praise the LORD!!

The reversal of the magnetic poles of the sun happens every 11 years, silly, during the height of the sunspot cycle.
Shouldn't you read actual science books about such phenomena before you mouth off?
Let's see... so far it's been 1914, 1975, 1999, 2000 and 2001 but NOW we have it right and it's going to be 2012. Right...
Death worshipping fruitcake. It REALLY scares me that people like this have access to weapons and explosives. Toutatis forbid one of them ever gets access to the big red button...
Doubly ironic (or Poe sign) when you think what "Morning Glory" is slang for...
I thought the rapture happened in 2007! I thought I missed it and then I thought, maybe nobody was good enough at all to be raptured.
Believing in a pagan (Mayan) prophesy is a sin. You will burn in hell.
Waitaminute, you're right. Morningglories, wtf are you reading other works than The Book for?
ZOMG! Something that happens on a regular 11-year cycle is happening at exactly the same time as... well, nothing for certain. But the Earth's pole *could* start switching any time now... and then it would happen when something else is happening! ZOMG!!!1111!!!!42!!!pi!!111
Seriously. I actually took the bold step of reading this thread. That's what it comes down to: some scientists are saying that we're probably overdue for a pole switch (y'know, sometime between now and the next n millenia. probably. statistically speaking.) And NASA's saying that there should be a solar pole switch in 2012. And to fundies that apparently means godidit so that Teh Rapture will occur in 2012. Oh, you have to throw some random crap about Mayan calendars, pseudoscientific waffle, Planet X, etc etc, into the blender, too.
Am I the only one who finds it ironic when scientists "prove" that The Hallucination of St John is TRUE!!!!, when they're the ones that, 10 minutes before and after this, are in league with satan for claiming that frogs give birth to aardvarks?
This is stoooopid.

Yeah. And on his gramper, too, double for him.
The sunspot cycle averages about 11 years between two solar minima, during which the Sun's magnetic field reverses itself- a routine event that has nothing to do with some fictional Rapture. We are at the bottom of Cycle 23 right now, and hams and shortwave listers are waiting for evidence of a lonely sunspot with a reverse magnetic field to show the start of Cycle 24 and increased activity. 2012 will be near the peak of Cycle 24, a few years after a magnetic field reversal.
Weird, yes. That you read a science article. More likely you made it up. Since the Earth's poles reverse maybe once in ten thousand years. But, hey, whatever.
I've just read the whole thread, and I have to say that I found it to be a profoundly depressing experience.
The RR people are not Christians in any biblical sense - they represent a nihilistic and elitist death cult that hides behind the Christian "brand name" to confer some sense of respectability on their warped "philosophy".
Damn, these people do pull paranoia from every where. The last time I checked the Mayan Long Calender was not in the Bible(Shit, what am I saying, neither is the "Rapture" and that hasn't stopped them from worshipping it!).
I don't recall the Book of Revelation mentioning anything about the magnetic flux tubes in the sun's convective zone getting wound up by differential rotation at the Apocalypse. Nothing about the Wilson effect or the Zeeman effect either.
No, just the sun turning black.
Which will make it a bit difficult those of us 'left behind' to see what's going on during the remainder of the Apocalypse
I can't WAIT until 2012. It would be fun to throw a skeptical "end of the world" party; just get together with friends, watch all the idiots who will undoubtably be on the news, and laugh our butts off when midnight passes.
Mayan calenders?
(Also, anyone who can spell "revelation," but screws up "sun" loses all credibility points.)
His son is bi and getting someone from Poland reversed?
Seriously, as I type my snipes here on FSTDT I have the program "The Universe" on (The History Channel). It is more comforting than you can possibly imagine.
Reading over the various entries as I have been these last few days and freely adding my nine cents worth (inflation's gone up since I was a kid)fundies should not have to wonder why they are the ones that get most picked on. They can say some of the creepiest crap and I used to, too. Once I reached a modicom (sic) (dictionary weighs 20 lbs.) of enlightenment, I sent an apology to the universe for all the suffering I well-meaningly caused. And one of the things fundies enjoy, rather perversely, is the belief that they are suffering for christ. Righteously pointing out the flaws the world so deperately needs to address. And they will be more than glad to twist your arms and grind your face into the mess until you cry uncle and they can walk away smilin' aw man beautiful. Ugly, ain't it. Issues, do I have? Not really. I can step back and see both sides now and I like it that way.
Zoony: Yeah pretty much. We (jokingly) tell them to 'drink the KoolAid', largely because they seem to be a death cult without the balls to actually kill themselves. Let's hope wishing for the rapture is all they do.
@Chi, Lithp: The daughter's a lesbian? She didn't tell me that when I gave it to her in the alley last year.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
