Reply #9: Easier to figure

[PATRICK]

the batting average for End Times predictions- from Old Testament times on. Except for consolation prizes like the fall of the Roman Empire and local fireworks like Krakatau(calculated like walks) it is 000.00.

I am worried that the lazy ease of rational people will someday make our math and calculation skills inferior to the enthusiastic contortionists in Loon World. Then again, some future generation has only to be accidentally right once and fool themselves into thinking it was their math prowess all along.

There are more useful and Christian usages of math, like how much human suffering can be eased by distribution of government and personal resources for Beatitude imperatives.
