May 21 is fast approaching

Perhaps you don't live in new York and dont' see the subway signs, or don't live in LA and don't see the billboards; if so- you are unaware and I wanted to give you the heads up.  The world is ending on May 21 (days away!) as rapture takes people into heaven - you know, per the signs.  (Not signs as in Biblical, but signs as in Subway.)

Sign is above the lady in yellow.

Of course, Ed, Lynn, Bradley and I will be in Iceland - so.. well, so long if we don't see you.

The man behind this (Harold Camping) has a set of reasons for this, which I will copying from Salon below.

Now, all of this seems a bit, i don't know, mystically numerology focused to me - but I am a doubter and will not be raptured on May 21 - so last laugh on me perhaps.  And, while I think belief in God can make you a better person and more empathetic to your fellow humans - I think blowing through your savings and quitting Med School based on an equation from the expected day of Jesus' death might be overdoing it.

Camping and his affiliates present at least three explanations -- what he refers to as "infallible, absolute proofs" -- for May 21 being the day.

• It's the anniversary of Noah's Flood: A great deal of effort has been made by biblical literalists over the years to identify the exact chronology of the events dictated in the Old Testament. Some scholars, including Camping, adhere to the theory that the Biblical Flood took place on May 21 in the year 4,990 B.C. Then, in Genesis, God told Noah seven days before the Flood to warn people of the impending cataclysm. And Camping posits that this figure, seven days, holds greater significance than meets the eye. According to the biblical passage 2 Peter 3:8, "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day." Therefore, argues Camping, Rapture should occur 7,000 years after the Flood. And the 7,000th anniversary of the biblical deluge, by his math, falls on May 21, 2011.
• It's the anniversary of Creation ... sort of: Another piece of evidence -- explained by Family Radio affiliate eBibleFellowship -- suggests that the world began in 11,013 B.C., and its 13,000th anniversary came and went in 1988. During that year, apparently on May 21, the end of the "church age" came to pass. Then, a 23-year time of "tribulation" began, during which Satan claimed dominion over all the world's churches. (Camping also supports this notion. He claims that the number "23" -- far from just being a poorly received Jim Carrey film -- also represents "destruction" in biblical symbology.) The end of this particular period of cosmological strife is said to fall on May 21, 2011.
• Divine Numerology: This elaborate line of reasoning first argues that Jesus Christ was killed on April 1 in the year 33 A.D. Using that date, the crucifixion would have occurred exactly 1,978 years and 51 days -- or 722,500 days -- before May 21, 2011. It turns out that 722,500 is also the product of an equation -- (5 x 10 x 17)^2 -- that includes three different numbers of significance, according to Camping. Five means "atonement." Ten indicates "completeness."And 17 signifies "heaven." Thus: Armageddon.
