Harold Camping, an octegenarian radio preacher for decades has used his supposedly thorough knowledge of the Bible to predict that the apocalypse will occur via earthquake at 6 o'clock p.m. Eastern Time on Saturday May 21, 2011. Before you go out in a frenzied panic, be aware that the eighty-plus year old Camping made a similar prediction in the nineties and it didn't come to pass. A lot of people have made predictions over the years, decades, centuries and eons that the world would end at a certain time and we are still here. for instance, the story of Noah in the Bible. I haven't followed Nostradamis' writings lately, but I'm sure he alluded to the end of the world. The Book of Revelations is perhaps the most well-known description of the apocalypse or so-called 'Judgment Day'. According to many people, the Mayan civilization predicted 2012 as the end of the world. I think we will survive well beyond 2012, unless pollution and Global Warming make the planet uninhabitable or the sun goes supernova millions of years from now. I'm not worried at all about a prediction by a religious fanatic, and neither should you.
