Keeping the theme from my post about creationists co-opting reality to support their beliefs, let’s quickly visit the 12\/21\/2012 gang.<\/p>\n
Here’s my prediction about that upcoming non-event.<\/p>\n
Unless the upcoming movie 2012 is a documentary made in the future and sent back through a wormhole (or put in the mailbox shared by Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves), 12\/21\/2012 will be so uneventful that it’ll make Y2K look like the Harmonic Convergence.<\/p>\n
But when the “planetary alignment” occurs, without the warned-about mayhem, here’s how the 12-ers will spin it:<\/p>\n
“YOU DID IT, HUMANITY! You made the shift in consciousness that we needed to avert disaster and have ushered in a new era in global connection and enlightenment.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This announcement will be followed on 12\/22\/2012 by a dramatic continuation of the status-quo with the only enlightenment coming from the burning of 2012 books (stock up on ingredients for s’mores!).<\/p>\n
Once again, you heard it here first (because, I, too, have come back in time through a wormhole — or through the ham radio transmissions of Dennis Quaid, I can’t tell).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
