Apocalypse Not: Here’s Why You Shouldn’t Worry About End Times
This is the question posed by the website 2012apocalypse.net. “super
volcanos? pestilence and disease? asteroids? comets? antichrist? global warming?
nuclear war?” the site’s authors are impressively open-minded about the cause of
the catastrophe that is coming at 11:11 pm on december 21 this year. but they
have no doubt it will happen. after all, not only does the Mayan Long Count
calendar end that day, but “the sun will be aligned with the center of the Milky

When the sun rises on December 22, as it surely will, do not expect apologies or

following—from the 100,000 Millerites who took to the hills in 1843, awaiting
the end of the world, to the thousands who believed in Harold Camping, the
Christian radio broadcaster who forecast the final rapture in both 1994 and
2011.
