This is a follow up video to my previous video discussing the increase in earthquakes and the relation to end time prophecy. I am responding to some of the comments made and explain in greater detail the stats supporting an increase in earthquakes. The previous video was also a response to one posted by Potholer54 in which he ridiculed christians for believing this. 

The following is a link to USGS where you can view all of the stats regarding every earthquake since 1900 that had a rate of 8.0 or more.

The following is a link to USGS that shows stats for all earthquakes from 2000 - 2011.

The following is a link that shows the death toll since 1900, listing every earthquake that took 1000 lives or more.

Earthquake stats
1900 - 1950 were 875,424 deaths
1951 - 2000 were 643,407 deaths
2001 - 2011 (may 8th) 696,535 deaths

1990 - 1999 were 6 earthquakes of 8.0 or higher rating
2000 - 2009 were 13 such earthquakes
So the 1st decade of the 21st century saw double the earthquakes of the last decade of the 20th century.

The last 110 yrs has witnessed 87 earthquakes with magnitude of 8.0 or higher as of May 8th 2011. 
Of those 87, 15 have occurred 2000 - 2011 May 8th
Also, the seven consecutive yrs of 2004 - 2010 saw 11 of the 87 earthquakes. This 7 year period represents the last 6% of the 110 yrs studied, but accounts for 12.5% of the earthquakes with rating of 8.0 or more.
This block of 7 consecutive years is the only time period to have seen numbers in the double digits for 8.0 and above earthquakes.

With 87 earthquakes over a period of 110 yrs this means an earthquake with an 8.0 or higher magnitude occurs on average every 15 months. 
The recent 7 yr period with 11 earthquakes means it averaged an earthquake every 7.6 months instead of every 15, thereby having twice as many as the norm. 

31% of all earthquakes in the past 110 yrs with magnitude of 8.5 and more occured in the last 6% of the 110 yrs (last 7 yrs)

Of the 10 largest earthquakes for the last 110 yrs, only 2 occurred during the first 55 yrs. And 4 of the 10 occurred in the last 7 yrs. (2004 - 2010) So 40% of the largest earthquakes happened in the last 7 yrs.
