Kuhlman In the world in which we live, money and the power of the almighty dollar have always been at the forefront. It seems the more money a person makes the more socially attractive a person becomes. This has led people from all walks of life in search of the quickest and simplest ways to make their fortune. In 2009 the United States suffered one of the most crippling economic crises since Black Monday in 1929. The country went from a free spending economic giant, to a frugal and meek money hoarding nation reeling on its heels from the devastating blow of a society that was uncontrollably over-spending. I must say that there have been numerous institutions and products that folded under the strain, which I never thought would. People stopped buying the products they all were so use to, and unnecessary buying was halted immediately. The things we think of in the sense of earth’s long existence. There have been proven predictions was the rise of Adolf Hitler and the buying are usually material and tangible goods. eradication of many civilizations in history, Third Reich as well as the modern day events of We saw a major decline in this area of spending. such as the ancient Druids and the Mayans, as the twin towers destruction of September 11, Most every market that sold these items were well as complete destruction of certain life 2001 in New York by terrorist attacks. Many, shaken hard, and if they did not collapse they forms on earth other than humans, which paved upon many claim that the writings by had to seriously rework their agendas to bypass the way for new beginnings of life on this Nostradamus clearly show his gift of predicting the near inevitable crash. One thing selling planet. One of the most recognized of these is future events, however a closer look at his however was unaffected by the turmoil of the demise of the giant lizards or dinosaurs that writings show that many of his writings can be economics, a product that has been selling for inhabited this planet for millions of years. It is linked in a loose way to many events and not to years to people all over the world. In times of clear that man existed sometime after this age any one in particular. In fact, his writings or hardship this product gains in momentum in and that the time of man was a new era in the visions were so openly written that you could sales rather than falls, and the seller continues to earth’s timeline. Could have man existed relate just about any disaster or change of rake in money at other peoples expense.

Possibly, but it was not in the great plan of It is my belief as it is others too, that In our society it seems most are suckers earths development, at least it isn’t a part of our Nostradamus was more a false prophet than for the extreme of speculation and raw current knowledge. Possibly one day we may anything else. There were many upon many propaganda. Aren’t we? We are never content find that man did indeed exist with these great predictions made by him that you rarely hear of with just life, which already holds its own set of lizards of prehistoric times, but for now we have that were never related to anything or came to mind-blowing moments and problems that we no evidence. We know there have been many pass in any shape or form. People can read into all must deal with everyday. No, we need more! changes over time, this is very evident, but is it any situation or prediction what they want, no Most humans are not happy unless they have possible for one to predict such events for our matter what the situation may be. At this point placed more confusion and extreme uncertainty future, the demise and eradication of all let me comment on another area that I think is of upon their lives in daily doses. Why?

This type of was cut short on earth by a giant asteroid that seems to always involve gloom, doom, behavior has been going on since man has been impacted the earth’s surface, which forced an destruction and evil. Why not at least predict in existence. The need for extreme concern or ice age and the immediate cessation of life, or good things that have or will happened worry in practically trivial situations during was it something else? The worries of this throughout this world’s history? It is because otherwise calm times ushers in fear in people all happening again still exist today, and they are sadly, man himself lives and thrives on fear over the world and has been the norm; today it used as a hypothetical end of life scenario for all itself, a waiting for the evil end to come. This is no different by far. Why do people mankind. The dinosaurs’ extinction however trait seems to be as much part of the humans’ continuously indulge and worry about such was not a predicted event due to the evident make-up as is the red blood that flows through irrational events even though we have no proof absence of any form of written communication. his veins. Lets take a look at the past regarding of their legitimacy? This is the million-dollar There is one event that was predicted however, question and it makes no sense at all. Humans and it has been proven to have taken place just speculation of the end of the world, as we know live their lives not looking for the good life has as accounted. This event was the great flood, as it, and the selling of utter worldly nonsense, to offer now, but what may or may not lie ahead reported in the Bible.
