Myths and Facts about the End of the World: Debunking Doomsday Propaganda

Introduction

Are we living in the last moments of human existence? How are you supposed to answer a question like, 'Will the world end in October 2017?' With all the noise out there suggesting that the world could end anytime, it's important to separate fact from fiction. While it may be enticing to believe in the doomsday prophecies, the truth is that no one—neither our Holy Prophet Muhammad nor any other prophet for that matter—knows when the world will end. Here’s a closer look at why today's doomsday beliefs are simply unfounded.

Historical Perspective

Myths about the end of the world have been around for centuries, from prophecies of the Rapture to the Mayan calendar's supposed end in 2012. None of these have come to pass. Similarly, claims about October 2017 being the last date of human existence are just as baseless. Prophet Muhammad and other spiritual leaders always emphasized that only Allah knows the exact time of the end. Drawing on their wisdom, we must confront these beliefs with rationality and understanding.

Personal Reflections on the End of the World

Let's address the personal perspective. From a personal standpoint, individuals often feel that the world has ended when they pass away. In a way, it has ended for them since they no longer experience the world as they once did. But it's important to remember that their end is not the end of the world. The world continues with others carrying on their legacy.

Consider the following statements to emphasize this point:

Nope. I’m 75, so it is increasingly possible my world will end in 2017. Everybody else’s world will still continue.

Here, the speaker acknowledges the personal nature of the concept of the 'end of the world,' but also maintains the broader context that life continues beyond any individual's lifespan.

Current Events and Future of the World

Looking at the current global landscape, we see that the world is far from ending. Instead, we observe ongoing developments that require attention:

Political Developments: President Donald Trump, commonly referred to as "The Orange Nut" (a nod to his hair and controversial personality), has been a source of significant political controversy. His actions, particularly towards North Korea, have stirred up anxiety and concern.

The Upcoming Year: As we approach 2018, the world is still here, despite the doomsday predictions. This is a reminder that while we face challenges, the world persists.

Yeah, when you pass away, so the world is ended on you because you are not here anymore and you are only one who considered himself so strong and smart. This statement highlights the subjective nature of perceiving the end of the world, but it also underscores the continuity of life and society.

Scientific Perspectives on Planetary Defense

Now, let's consider from a scientific standpoint:

A significant myth surrounding the end of the world is the fear of celestial events causing mass destruction. However, some systems are in place to address these fears:

Planetary Defense Systems: There have been tests for planetary defense systems in the past, like the one in October 2017. If such systems are effective, they have the potential to mitigate threats such as asteroid impacts. Additionally, our understanding of celestial bodies and their trajectories has improved, making us better prepared for potential doomsday scenarios.

For instance, the tests conducted to defend against gamma ray bursts were critical. Such events are indeed potentially catastrophic, but modern scientific advancements have given us a better chance of survival:

They tested a planetary defense system in October 2017 actually…if it was successful then we’re fine other than if a gamma ray burst hits the Earth one already almost did but passed the Earth and wasn’t far off which is scary to think about.

These systems and scientific advancements help dispel the myths and prepare us for potential threats.

Conclusion

The world will undoubtedly continue, but it will always be different. Each generation will live through its own challenges and changes, but the core of humanity and our quest for knowledge and survival will remain. While we must take threats seriously, the predicted immediate end of the world based on myths and personal fears is unfounded. We should rely on rationality, science, and community to face the future.
