Whats with all these earthquakes happening at the same time?? And why cant our scientists predict them?

I really dont think its coincidence. There has to be a pattern here, cause there is a history of earthquakes that happen around the same time or within a day of each other.

I hear Japan is able to predict earthquakes.. Why not us?

When two techtonic plates grind against each other and do a shift, then the shifting happens all up and down the length of their front with each other, so you'll have earthquakes all up and down the line of contact between the two plates.

Q: I hear Japan is able to predict earthquakes.. Why not us?

A: Because they've spent more on under-sea siesmic detectors, although North America has been building an undersea array along the Juan de Fucca plate that should be as good as anything Japan's got.

My friend if you believe it or not all of these earthquakes are signs of the second coming of Christ.

Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven. (Luke 21:10-11)

You can read the page to the link to gain more insight to other signs of his coming.
Unfortunately scientist are men just like me and you, although they have knowledge,machines and technology to aid them and also alert us about these type of disasters their power and knowledge are limited.
One thing we can say humans can learn from the earth is that mother nature and her forces are very unpredictable when it comes to natural disasters. No machine,technology and men cannot predict when these things are going to happen.
