I just love how Fox News does things like put "Apocalypse" in the title for effect, then the first sentence says:

it's a spiritual signal linked to 2012 Mayan prophecies of both doom and spiritual renewal.

Hmm. What about the renewal part? Why does the media just zoom in on the "doom and gloom" aspects? (I mean other than ratings. At one time journalism was a respectable vocation in this country.)

I'd be willing to bet over 95% of writers and reporters at Fox News don't know the meaning of the word eschatology, much less that there are multiple kinds of eschatology. Yet they style themselves qualified to report on it. Just can't seem to see past their own Abrahamic bias... :idea:

Fair and balanced my hiney!! Tell you one thing, so long as Rupert Murdoch is still incarnated, I will take it as a sign that the New Age has not yet begun. (Barring a complete 180 flip in his attitude toward others... unlikely but ever possible.)

LiveScience, on the other hand, fails to mention ANYTHING but "doom and gloom" in their article. See- this is exactly what is wrong with science. It mocks what it doesn't understand until what it doesn't understand makes a mockery of it.

I could provide a lengthy list of breakthrough discoveries that have occurred within the last year in the fields of biology, physics, and geology. More textbook-rewriting-type discoveries than ever before in human history.

But, of course, this is all "coincidence" kind of like the lengthy list of simultaneous discoveries that have occurred in science. All pure coincidence. Nothing to do with a group mind. Really it is quite laughable...

Oh and by the way, the same author- Stephanie Pappas- wrote both of these articles. Just in case it was meant to appear as two sources corroborating one another.
