Dooms Day!
End of the world May 21st, 2012, or 2nd Tuesday of next week?
[May 21]
Well, it’s May 21, 2011, and so far nobody (including John Cusack from the dooms day movie 2012) appears to be missing in the rapture or apocalypse or any other end of the world scenario. Skeptics are certain to say it never was going to happen, and others of faith are sure to claim there is a numbers game going on or that this is just the beginning of the end or the world as we once knew it already has ended. But fear not. [Or fear some more, if you prefer.] Another day next year looms on the calendar, and 2012 is the real year of the doomsday apocalypse, according to some who have dismissed May 21, 2011. Additionally, some Christians believe that May 21, 2011, could not possibly be the correct date, because scripture reports that no man will no the date or time, lending some credence to an unspecified date in 2012. However, skeptics remain, and rightfully so. Even the Maya say the ancient Maya calendar ending in 2012 is no cause for concern. As such, dooms day coming on the second Tuesday of next week seems to be the most definitive answer humans can know about when to expect the end of the world.
