Will May 21st be the end of the world?
According to a small Christian movement in Alberta......, yes, it will.
The movement, led by Harold Camping who runs the evangelical station Family Radio Program, is predicting that mid-May of this year will bring about Judgment Day--the time when, according to some, the earth will be destroyed due to mankind's sins and all Christian believers will ascend to heaven.
Apparently Camping believes this will occur on May 21st because of a mathematical system he created to interpret prophecies hidden in the Bible.
While this prediction is pretty eerie it's worth noting that this isn't the first time that Camping has predicted the end of the world.
He originally used his mathematical system to predict Sept. 6, 1994 as Judgement Day.
(Now I have to tell ya folks, I looked at an old diary from 1994. That's the day my wife told me she wanted a divorce..........., but I wouldn't really call that the end of the world! -Ed.)
