May Contest v. The End Of The World

[shadowman]

It's not really the end of the world on the 21st. That's when the rapture is suppose to occur at 6PM (not sure what time zone). Those that are not taken to heaven on the 21st stay around for another 5 months before the world finally is destroyed (or so I've read).

harold camping missed on 9/6/94 claims it was a error on his math it is supposed to follow the clock 6 pm local time everywhere like ringing in the new year

[shadowman]

That's right, 6PM everywhere. here's more information: http://judgementday2011.com/ Note this is all dependent on the following assumption: "The number 5 equals “atonement”, the number 10 equals “completeness”, and the number 17 equals “heaven”." I'm not sure where these equalities originate, but if the rapture does not happen tomorrow then it is simple to claim a different set of equalities and predict another date out in the future.

congratulations on 3000+ posts you like i are voices of reason. the same thinking on the end of the world is like refusing to accept that playing negative expected value games will over enough time will result in losing money

Thanks, royal flush. Those of us driven by logic tend to be less prone to beleive these kind of predictions.

Congratulations Shadowman. A milestone indeed. I find your contributions always insightful. All hail Arcimedes

Thanks, Ed. It's now past 6PM on the other side of the IDL. The rapture should have started by now. No reports of any problems. Who would have guessed it.
