The Biblical Realities of Hell

Spell out the bet.

I am willing to bet that the number of earthquakes larger than 4.0 in the next seven months will not be more than 12.5% greater than the number of earthquakes in the past seven months. If you prefer, you can replace seven with any number up to 19.
 
Geeezzz, there is no soul, certainly not the one you talk of edge. But then you religious guys always have a way of greatly underestimating the world in which you live by many levels and have to add a magical outlook to it because of that. When and if you would study real information about this world from real sites and not from the woo ones, you can put the magic where it belongs, with ones other childish thoughts.

How would you like to run my casino?

We'll see at the end of this year.

Don't you mean next year?

But seriously, if you are making a prediction about events that you believe will happen next year, then now is the time to spell them out specifically.

I assumed he was saying that the ramp up to the amazing levels expected by December 2012 would start in the next few months and we would see a measurable trend by December of this year.

I have excellent ideas about running casinos. Around 10 years again, casinos started showing the past 10 numbers that hit on each roulette wheel. It was an ingenuous idea because half the people see four red numbers in a row and say, "I should make an extra bet on red because it is on a streak" and half say "I should make an extra bet on black because it is due." I'd post previous numbers on each craps table because craps players are even more superstitious than roulette players.

Correct.
But the bet would be since it all ready is happening that by the end of this year the graph would show higher than 2010 in world wide disasters showing a new increase. I think it will beat 2010 for sure that's the bet.
I also believe it will be higher than any we have seen so far.
We could use this one.

I also said that it would continue this way into 2012 and onward.
These are natural so we aren't even counting technical.
If you want we can find one that also includes these?
I really hope I am wrong.
Moneys are out of the question so what could the prize be?
Who ever is right gets their ass kissed by the loser how's that?
But in what sense?;)

Often when posters don't want to bet money, they will make a bet in which the winner will get to write whatever he or she wants in the loser's personal signature file for a set number of months. For instance if we were to bet and I won, I would have you add a line to your sig that said "Dowsing is nonsense and here is a website that explains why WWW.yaddayadda." Conversely, you could include a line in my sig that said, "The Bible reveals great truths and contains amazing prophecies. By December 2012 no one will be able to seriously doubt God's great powers."1
I think those willing to bet with you will need only to describe the precise amount of increase. For instance, if you are going to claim a 1 % rise fits your claim and you should win if that happens, no one will bet with you because a 1 % variance is common for year-to-year statistics.

No prediction then. I didn't expect one.
 
This helps explain some of the problems with the idea of a god.

He did say that the number of natural disasters in 2011 will be higher that the number of natural disasters in 2010. I am not saying it is an impressive prediction, but I do think it counts as a prediction.

Not an impressive prediction. Even money.

And that is recorded edge, that doesn't count all the powerful earthquakes throughout the Earth's 4.5 billion years.

Well yes if they are not recorded then how would we know, it also fair to say we could go from 1975 to 2012-13.
There's a graph that displays thaton that link, that one shows the same thing?
We weren’t around back then who cares?
The things that are reveled to us and count, deals with us, not brontosaurus.
Although something slamming into the Earth is similar in a future event.
But it won’t be a total extinction event or planet killer…one third of humanity survives that event.
