The futurists are going to have a field day with all these big earthquakes of late. Another huge one (7.8) hit Sumatra 45 minutes ago.

The interesting thing is that it is estimated by some scientists that earthquakes are not actually increasing. It just seems that way because of the spread of populations, global media, and sensitive detection equipment. A hundred years ago most earthquakes went unnoticed.

I wonder what the percentage comparisons for earthquake activity would be for the boundaries of the two oikoumenēs:
1st century Roman world versus 21st century Roman world

I just heard this yesterday, but they say that on average every year 17 major earthquakes occur in the world. We have see 5 of those 17 - in otherwords, nothing unusual is happening. |

I had the same thought, in fact I heard of them, I think it was John Hagee, mention "earthquakes in divers places." I add this. I heard in the news that there are at least a thousand earthquakes every year. Most are small and go un-noticed. So I concur with what Allyn said, that there is nothing new going on.  |

Exactly. What you all said. But that won't stop some people!  |
