Spiritually Speaking - Has the adoption of time zones prevented the End Of The World?
So, if God has declared that the world will end on a certain date, has the human adoption of time zones and the International Date Line, with the result that it is never the same date over the entire world ** stopping God from implementing The End Of The World?
Bonus question: Will God have to go back to the original plan of a flat circular Earth, supported on pillars to be able to solve this problem?
** At 12:00.000 GMT it is 24:00.000 date A on the west side of the International Date Line and 24:00.000 date A +1day on the east side.
Inspired by another question about the significance that it is 20/10/2010 (10/20/2010 for yanks) and the replies that it was already 21/10/2010 for New Zealand and Australia.
Intuitive Witch - but we did not need to do this. We could have done what China does and just have one huge time zone across the world. (Based on Greenwich time of course) So it would be the same day across the world, and the same time. But dawn, mid day, sunset and mid night would be at different times in different east-west locations.

LOL! All I can say is that human ingenuity has foiled the Big G! Let's hope he doesn't send another flood.......
BQ - All it would need would be a gnomon (style) and it would look like an enormous sundial. So, yes, no doubt he'd do that, just to prove a point!

NO. it just devise the Earth into 24 times zones witch is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate one time.

nicely it fairly is further information of that concept being fake. that's no longer plausible because of the fact it may ensue diverse situations. they say the rapture or end of hte international will ensue with God creeping "like a thief interior the night." no person will understand no longer even Jesus himself supposedly so how could Mayans from thousands of years lower back understand. Lol.

Yanks? Jealous of Americans much?
Dummy the world is going to turn regardless. if the world didn't turn there wouldn't be time zones. Just because one part of the world reaches the sun faster than the other doesn't mean anything.

If a God truly existed why would they bother with such a human construct as time,but of course if you are going to go to the trouble of creating a god in your own image ie. nasty-vindictive-vengeful.You of course have to make them fallible,as humans can't imagine anything more powerful beyond themselves.You would of course surmise that as God/s need to bother with a time piece and can't just destroy the world when it damn' well please them

God's got some explaining to do, when he can't even prevent mere humans from setting up our own time zones.

Well, the christian god was apparently thwarted by chariots of iron, so why not?
