[Meterologist Jay Searles talks about changes in Pacific Ocean temperature: "When we go through transition phases like right now, they tend to favor stormy more violent weather – everything we have been observing."]
Too bad he couldn't even equate the "transition" phase he admits we're going through right now, with the "transition" phase of birth(labor) pangs and put two and two together. The man should take a lamaze class.

What..?
Oh, ok, you mean... No, wait, what?
Cue Picard "WTF is this shit?" pic in five, four, three, two, one...
I have no idea what that means, but the rest of the thread is a response to this website, and the comments here, and how ignorant they are. About science, no less. I just got that irony meter, too.

Yeah, I hate it when people can't do that. Oh, wait a minute ....
What the fuck drugs are you on, and why are you on the internet while you're taking them? Please, stop, you're scaring the universe.
The earth is giving birth to something? Wouldn't that mean the earth is alive? Wouldn't that mean Gaiaism is the one true religion?
BTW, what the hell does a planet give birth to? Another moon?
Whatever 1angel4u is talking about, I'm pretty sure it's connected to end times. Every single thing is connected to end times. Perfectly normal kitten, fog falling, fog raising, rain falling, sun shining, two headed goat born in the night of the full moon... Everything!
I had 3 babies hence labor pain 3 times. I don't remember my Lamaze teacher being a meterologist, or any violent weather.
I absolutely have no idea what is babbling about.
Is this about Mother Earth?
Father Time, shame, shame on you.
I think I've figured out what she's trying to say (scary as that sounds).
The Jay Searles article's main point is, "Yes, we're having violent weather -- but no, it's not because God is punishing us, it's because of predictable, cyclical meteorological phenomena."
1angel4u's response is a reference to the notion from Genesis chapter 3 that childbirth pains are punishment from God for Eve's wickedness. Even though a scientific explanation for labor pain exists, the "real" reason is that we're being punished by God. Therefore, even though a scientific explanation for "freak" weather exists, it must also be because we're being punished by God.
That was either so astoundingly clever that I don't understand it, or so insanely stupid that nobody ever will.
Oh, wait. It's Rapture Ready.
Cue the Captain Picard Facepalm poster
@Tracer, Jesus also mentioned these birth pangs in Matthew 25, stating that when we see certain signs such as earthquakes, famines, wars and rumors of wars, these are the birth pangs that supposedly lead to his second coming
"The man should take a lamaze class."
Perhaps it's just me, but every time I see that word, I always mentally pronounce it "lame-ass".
Potentate Argyos : Jesus also mentioned these birth pangs in Matthew 25, stating that when we see certain signs such as earthquakes, famines, wars and rumors of wars, these are the birth pangs that supposedly lead to his second coming
That's exactly it. I would have thought everyone here would have been dialed into RR-speak by now. They are always going on about the birth-pangs presaging the Second Coming.
"Birth pangs" refers to the rapture, for some stupid reason.
Look, you idiots. You're not going to be raptured any time soon. You might die, but no super vacuum-cleaner in the sky is going to suck you up to heaven.
@tracer
I read it, I kept trolling the comments here and refreshing them, hoping someone would post and be able to understand what this insane bitch is referring to. That's actually a pretty good explanation too, although it makes her no less insane.
Gahhhh...even though the pacific cycles constantly...whatever...
"The ocean she be pregnant, soon she be giving birth to the giant jesus fish, then you be sorry."
Besides I want to know how this ties in to the Penguin takeover plot. Anything to do with the pacific ocean changeing in temperature has to be part of the penguins evil plan for world domination.

Even after reading Tracer's explanation, all I can think is, "Let's take a flying leap off the logic cliff!"
Oh, honestly. A car backfires near their house, they think it's the Rapture. Three crows on the lawn, they think it's the Rapture. Red sky at night, they think it's the Rapture. Obama comes on TV...well, you get the picture.
No, guys hold on. He's almost, almost, right. He's just misdiagnosed the planet. See, this "transition phase" isn't about labour at all, it's a "transition" between now and the next stage of Planet Earth's evolution! The evidence has been there from the start! He's a genius!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
