Solar Eclipse. Science vs Pastor perspective

So, the eclipse is almost with us and I have eclipse glasses for all of the family (we'll all be in different places at the time unfortunately). I'm hoping for a break in the clouds as we will get about a 90% coverage where we live. As always with these events I've noticed a flurry of stories in the media recently to show how this interests different people.
A team based in Svalbard, north of Norway, will be hoping to use the event to find out why the sun's corona - its outer atmosphere - is hotter than its surface.
The plasma of the sun is only visible during a total eclipse, so the scientists will use this unique opportunity to try and solve the puzzling phenomena.
Scientists will also be studying the effect of the eclipse on the 3% worth of solar energy in Europe. Countless other experiments to further our knowledge of our nearest star such as weather balloons measuring solar radiation, atmospheric electricity and light intensity.
Eclipses are truly fascinating events. Meanwhile..........
...over in the world of Mark Blitz who writes on Christian website Root Source and is interviewed on WorldNetDaily (WND).
Friday’s solar eclipse across Europe could signal darker times and the ‘day of judgement,’ a pastor has warned.
The timing of the eclipse, which comes a few weeks before a lunar eclipse, is apparently significant.
Coinciding also with the spring equinox, the rare 'once in 100,000-year' event could indicate that trouble is brewing in Europe, according to the pastor.
"An event of this magnitude at the very beginning of the religious new year demands attention," Mr Blitz told WND.
"As the Bible tells us, there will be signs in the heavens on the feast days, and this is a very significant sign on a critical day."
"It’s the same day that there was the grand-opening ceremony of the tabernacle of Moses, with fire from heaven lighting the altar. Historically, this is a day of judgment."
He also said it was "likely a message from God to the entire world."
I don't think I need say anymore really do I? Regardless the twisted morality that some people hold that seems to give them pleasure in prophecies of worldwide doom, I still continue to be astounded by the utter stupidness and ignorance that they possess.
