RE: [Geology2] Harold Camping's 21st May Doomsday prediction fails; No earthquake in New Zealand

I posted this on my Facebook – should have put it here too (only for those with a sense of humour)

·         ATTENTION ALL JUDGEMENT and DOOMSDAY BELIEVERS::
Due to technical difficulties... The scheduled END OF WORLD event has been postponed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. We will attempt another doomsday event in December, 2012. Please stay tuned.
Oh... Have a nice day! :)

Yes I echo that. I really enjoy the posts here, despite not having the time to get into many discussions. I was aware of Mr Camping's predictions and it should be fun to see how he talks himself out of it.  One idea is that 'God changed his mind,' lol!  It makes for a good laugh. Yeah there is the geological theory linked to Noah's flood and of a world only 6-10,000 years old which is an example that most would also class as utter drivel, but some scientists/Geologists still believe it!  I wonder how many of them went along with Mr. Camping, lol? They probably feel a tad embarrassed right now!

I posted this as an endcap piece to the entire debacle so that folks here could understand how Cummings derived the date for his personal doomsday. Drivel? Yes. Rubbish? Yes. But then, it is also news regarding a phenomenon that deluded thousands of people who were ignorant of geology and of science, in general. And as long as geology is connected to any news event, regardless of whether it's ridiculous or trivial, I will post it. Now, man, where the heck is your sense of humor? Lighten up and have a laugh.
