They're at it again.Evangelical Christians are attempting to predict when Christ the Cuddly-Wuddly Savior is coming back.
Best of all: The latest prediction is based on actual data from NASA.
Whew. It's SCIENTIFIC, so it must be right. Right?
According to the WorldNet Daily news site, Mark Biltz from El Shaddai Ministries 'logged onto NASA's eclipse website which provides precision tracking of the celestial events.'
Through extensive research on the NASA website, Biltz discovered 'a rare string of lunar and solar eclipses' that could herald the return of Jesus in 2015.
The article fails to mention that the Biblical calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles, so of course certain celestial events occasionally coincide with major religious holidays.
This ain't science, folks.
And any hope that Mr. Biltz might have gleaned some logic or reason from his brief stint on the NASA site was all but hysterically obliterated by this additional silliness:
When he was questioned about the Bible story where Christ compares the world to ten virgins waiting for the arrival of their bridegroom and utters the famous line 'ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh' (Matthew 25:13), Biltz insisted that the quote be examined in its proper context.
"When He says you don't know the day or the hour, He's speaking to the foolish virgins, not the wise virgins," he explained.
Ahhhh. Of course.
So, kiddies, if you really want to know when Christ is coming back, forget NASA.
Just ask a wise virgin. If you can find one.
