10 Failed Doomsdays

Posted by James R. Rummel on November 11th, 2009 (All posts by James R. Rummel)

Worth a read. Interesting stuff.

(Hat tip to Glenn.)

    Agreed. Livescience handicaps itself with political correctness. The most obvious examples of doomsday cults are the modern ones devoted to global warming and other fashionable enthusiasms of people who think themselves above religion.

    I think that doomsday will never come until God comes back for all of us.
