This article has Shiva destroying after Kalki has cleaned house at the end of Kali Yuga and then creating the next go-round. My understanding is that Shiva's 'job' is to destroy everything so that Brahma can start creation. I'm not an expert in the Vedas but some clarification should be sought. -- Piepie ( talk) 08:38, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
I for one would like to see this page talk about less well-known eschatology beliefs. For example, the Hopi Indians, the Magic Bill Community, etc. There is a lot of great info there. What say you people? -- HelsonBeado ( talk) 11:09, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
The introduction has the sentence: "Most modern eschatology and apocalypticism, both religious and secular, involves the violent disruption or destruction of the world, whereas Christian and Jewish eschatologies view the end times as the consummation or perfection of God's creation of the world." a) What modern religious eschatologies are we referring to? b) The only instance we mention that could be construed to be modern secular eschatology is Marxism (though that's not so modern in my view). Is that single case sufficient support for this statement? Joja lozzo 22:36, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
The section Eschatology equivalents in science and philosophy
has no reference to a single philosopher ( I suppose someone will scurry to find a quote from Heidegger and then argue that he was a philosopher of science )
There are no discussions of eschatology in philosophy since the rise of modern science outside "philosophy of religion" unless you look in the likes of Paul Ricoeur.
What PhD Comprehensive exams in astronomy have included even the question "What is meant by eschatology in theology ?"
Best bet: define what you mean by "equivalent" and find a philosopher and scientist with a refereed publication defending that claim.
Lots of luck outside "Southern Journal of Philosophy" et al.

The various religions seem to be treated alphabetically; surely it would be better to do it chronologically, since there's a clear evolution from Judaism (the 2nd temple period) to Christianity to gnosticism to Islam? Achar Sva ( talk) 23:17, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
