Feel free to address the content of my post at top of page 3 as soon as you are able.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieAs twhitehead has pointed out, the USGS says there is nothing unusual regarding seismic activity currently. Unless the "Jesus prophecy with regard to earthquakes" that you are on about was something along the lines of there will be nothing unusual going on regarding seismic activity, then I don't see what it is you think you have to tell us.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieBetween the years 25463 BC and 25401 BC, 2356 BC to 2321 BC, and 92 AD to 132 AD there were marked increases in the frequency and magnitude of seismic activity. Why didn't these events bring about 'the last days?'
In view of the tragic recent events in Japan and Ecuador are any of the doubters still insistent that we have not seen a marked increase in the frequency and magnitude of seismic activity as prophesied by the Christ in the book of Matthew, chapter 24.

Instead of looking at the bigger picture you are conveniently focusing on the most recent brushstroke.
You numpty.

Perhaps this is because you are rattled, realising as you probably do that not only is what I posted absolutely spot on doctrinally, you are also propagating erroneous data as has been pointed out by other posters. As usual you dodge, deflect, accuse and abuse.

1. earthquakes themselves do not cause 'the last days', they are merely given as part of a composite sign given by Christ which would be an identifying feature of the last days.
2. That there were earthquakes prior to this is not important for again Jesus is not talking of events in pre history he is making reference to a future event.
How you could fail to grasp these fundamentals is pure boofery!

"Earthquakes 8.0 magnitude and above have struck at a record rate since 2004. But the increased rate was not statistically different from what you’d expect from random chance."

Robbie is wrong.
The article referenced analysed data between 1900 and 2011 and found a slight above average rate between 2004 and 2011.
This does not apply to the years following.
Nor is it statistically significant.
And it is not a 'record rate'. There are other periods which had a similar or higher rate of earthquakes.

This data you are showing is on a time scale way too short to make conclusions. Earth is billions of years old and you are trying to put out a picture of earthquake data showing signs of end days.
The true picture will not be known for a thousand years.
At that time you will undoubtedly find it to be like a bell curve where we are seeing only the upswing side. It will peak out then subside till the next flurry of activity.
Earthquakes are caused by the crunching together of continental plates driven by the mass flow of molten magma coming up in convection current wise from very deep high energy activity going on hundreds of miles deep.
A big crunch of continents happens then subsides because the energy of friction has been relieved by these earthquakes.
Using this data to suggest end days is just your paranoia seeping through. Earth is 4 billion years old and has gone through many extreme events that would make this rise look like the ripples of a rock thrown on a forest pond.
Originally posted by sonhouseJesus was not concerned with data in the Jurassic period and made no reference to it. We are concerned with a specific epoch in time, not the entire time line. Our data shows an accelerated frequency of earthquakes in the epoch that Christ was referring to.

It's almost as though you deliberately seek out the most ludicrous positions you can find to post here. Is there a wager between Freaky and yourself that we are not privy to?!

Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeThe scientific data is open for all to examine, the arguments based on it robust, you have failed to assail the logic and refute the arguments with anything resembling reason!
