I am wondering the earthquake prediction. Each time when we come cross the Epoch Times, we shoud take extra cautions and think about it a second time. Based on the so-called earthquake -associated phenomena happend in other locations in China, there haven’t seen any hits there. e.g, there are hundred of miles away between Sichuan and Jiangsu or Guangdo.
Use your head before you make any comments.

Though the bible says the disasters and war will come near the end times, you must not forget get throughout the existence of earth, disasters and wars are always there, even in the times of prehistoric people and dinosaur ages.
If we were to look in the bible, in Noah’s time he experienced flood where it is said to be God’s work. So presumely if there were people in Noah’s time they might also be like us thinking that they were at the end times. But in the end, they were not and now we are still living.
Earthquake Prediction still baffles people
The baffling still afflicts the peoples of the world.
For a great earthquake disaster, forecast or not forecast, the disputing has never been stopped.
If it has a forecast that could cause social unrest, it brings a huge economic losses, government officials and professional bodies should take responsibility?
If we do not forecast, in addition to huge economic losses there are a large number of casualties, government officials and professional bodies should take responsibility?
512 Sichuan M8.0 earthquake, the number of dead and missing life nearly 90,000, about 380,000 injured, and led to 500 billion RMB of economic losses.
What way people should take ?
Please read my article {The impending earthquake forecasting}.
When we are short on facts, we leap to faith. When we are short on faith, we make up fictions.
Positive Faith is something that people can rely on immmediately when currently there is insufficient or lack of facts.
Fictions will be gone once when the true facts appear…

Some, people in North Beach San Francisco hate me because I believe in Jesus Christ and attend morning Mass at St. Peters and Pauls catholic church in North Beach San Francisco seven days a week at 7:30 a.m. mass.
Though recently I was a victim of an attempted murder a hate crime in North Beach San Francisco June 12, 2008. Someone or somebodys approached me from behind and did a “Sneak Attack Face Bashing” on my face knocking me out unconscious for seven hours (7)Taken to General Hospital, in the hospital I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and was released. See photos of the attempted murder at: http://www.CaptainDemocracy.wordpress.com you will agree after you see these pictures that somebody was trying to Murder Me and make it look like an accident.
I ask all of you and your friends and family’s to demand an investigation of this attempt on my life to the F.B.I. and the Mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsom. Who is next? You, your Grandmother or mother and father, sister or brother? Let us stand up for JUSTICE!
Further, I have opened a site at:intothefuture13.wordpress.com where any victim of a hate crime or person of knowledge of a story can tell there story and pray for Justice.
Thank you, and may Jesus Christ Bless you all,
