how do you square that with there being a whole fucking story about his disciples doing the same thing, and then falling in the water when they lost faith that they could walk on top of it?
We/I don't know as no one actually knows what they tried to do. Perhaps walking on a plank or something.

As mentioned before: the King George bible is a extremely bad translation. The relevant passages once where linked to me here on /. and they make no sense at all.

The fact that "walking on the water" is a mistranslation I learned in school in religion classes shortly before becoming age of 14. It is actually undisputed. My teacher was a protestant priest who spoke latin, greek and aramaic fluently.

So, a man of faith admitted that some stories are just an "allegory" and explains there original meaning ... why should I not believe in that, in the sense of trust that he is right?

This is the first hit on a google search:

This is a delightfully funny, tongue-in-cheek sort of website that I think you'll find amusing.

I think I've entered the alternate reality where geeks forget that media is about embracing the fantasy a little and engaging in the narrative.

Way to stereotype.

Look, I'm all for immersion when watching a show or playing a video game, or consuming some other form of media. But Doctor Who? It's just not that good. Sorry.

The initial idea that there are things around us in this universe that largely do not care if we live or die that may indeed kill us when we're not looking coupled with creepy looking angel statues really freaked me out for a while.

Exit Mundi

So it's this site crossed up with an Alternate Reality Game. Whoopee.

Wipe out the planet? Better still, wipe out the planet by creating one of the most powerful objects known to exist in the Universe? Oh wait, even better - wipe out the planet by creating exotic forms of matter which have hitherto not been observed in nature?

To quote Governor Tarkin, "I think you overestimate their chances!" But if you insist, visit . Then tell me you think the LHC could spell the end of Earth itself - there are plenty of more likely ways to go than by particle collision.

...with the world being on the brink of an Oil Peak and everything...

As Sailor Saturn, Hotaru can destroy the world and the solar system to some extent

Not against these odds!

You should read some exit mundi for fun and entertaining end-of-world scenarios!

This all falls within what I would term as "scientific morality" and while that term has some scary images, the lack of a well laid out definition to scientists and the public could lead to disaster. Consider current trends in science showing : (a) Political control over science and publication of findings.b) Skewed guidelines involving the morality of scientists and science.(c) Lack of backbone in scientists in general to speak up in countries that are technically "free", many times just due to regard for a steady income, and intimated threats. In other words; what are the scientist's responsibilities to society ?(d) The potential for experiments to be conducted in Dangerous areas of research that could end up destroying humanity. (this would have been laughed at before the atom bomb)Included but not limited within this last category would be such things as; Artificial Black Holes,Worm Holes, Vortex theory, Biological Warfare, Nuclear Weapons; (bigger and better), Nano Gray Goo, Global Warming, on and on...Scientific Morality; could be simply defined somewhat as;Having enough wisdom not to destroy our world with knowledge that is beyond our mental ability to use.Responsibility to use said knowledge within certain guidelines, regardless of political influence.Here is a further link to other nightmare potentials of science; http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm Mystery

Yeah, but it's ages after Grey Goo was posted on Exit Mundi. Quite a few of those things listed there are already on Exit Mundi, btw.

Another great site for Doomsday scenarios is Exit Mundi.

They also address this particular genre of doom: http://www.exitmundi.nl/vacuum.htm

Reminds me of Exit Mundi's article on this possibility.

The use of nano technology is one of the doom scenarios of Exit Mundi, a website dedicated how mankind can finish...

Kind or reminds me of this. Not that this is exactly the way it will work, but that site has a lot of interesting end of the world scenarios.
