It wasn't exactly the doomsday today, it was the rapture. Where everyone that was Christian and truly devoted to god would get to heaven and be in peace with him there with the rest of these that got raptured, and the world would become a living hell (not sure) ruled by Satan.

Harold Camping said that the rapture would occur yesterday, it might just happen that we're all degenerate, sinning, heretics that have been living in hell so we don't notice a difference.

After the same guy being wrong once before in '94 I had no doubt nothing would happen, then again I am not a religious man so I can't say that I have ever believed in any apocalyptic event that is not a giant asteroid, gamma ray burst sent directly towards our planet or the sun devouring us when it makes it transformation, but I still found it fascinating that he was so dedicated to his doomsday, and that people followed him despite as aforementioned, him being wrong before.

^heh..................... i find things like that funny.
But there are tons of natural ways the earth can die! There are an infinite said ways some not even known to science. One of the koolest ways to die IMO, and Neil deGrasse Tyson agrees with me, is to be consumed by a super massive black hole. But the earth has a definite doomsday date and that is when the sun is on its death cycle forming a red giant. Our solar system will die when our sun becomes a supernova..... not to worry though thats another 6billion years or so

Lucky you! I would love to be able to see him live, he is so articulate it almost feels like a physical force!

If only we had such people in Sweden, whether it is that the population of Sweden simply aren't interested, or because they don't feel an appeal to come here is beyond me, but I hope either changes their minds so Sweden can get some scientific literacy.
