Today the world is as secured and safe as it was yesterday. And if someone in this world who could be presumed as the most unfortunate person is none other than Harold Camping for his yet another hoax on the apocalypse – the judgment day – which he predicted that May 21, 2011 is the date with doomsday when a massive earthquake will rip apart this earth and majority of world population will die within 153 days of “death and horror.” Nothing has happened yet and will not happen also in future what the so called clairvoyants and self-proclaimed future-readers predict or claim as their prediction. A perpetual rumor-mongering fraud, Harold also predicted that the world could have met the doomsday in 1994 and again in 2011. How many dates he would lend from the chronology to establish his irrational analysis based on his understanding of religious texts? Next time if Harold predicts something, people will utterly call him a religious fraudster who spreads just rumors, not facts.
Well, Harold Camping is not just the one such creature in this world who peddles rumors and irrational thoughts, there are many thousands more of his breed who are equally responsible for creating confusion in this world. And the most natural ally of these tribes is people's belief system in religion that often obfuscates a rational mind in understanding a scientific phenomenon.
In the evolution of human civilization, the earth has passed through many natural calamities including earthquakes, floods, meteor strikes, and tsunamis, and they have shaped the future of this earth in more ways than one, but during all those devastating situations science has enabled people to understand the genesis of a high magnitude natural catastrophe, which doesn't follow any date or order of the unseen. There are multitude of physical properties of natural forces that in combination produce a devastating outcome. A date writing in any religious textbook or scripture doesn't suffice any rational interpretation of the existence of natural forces that comprehensibly steer an incident, which only can be predicted through the scientific analysis of participatory parameters.
We must understand that people like Harold Camping not only pose danger to our society by spreading rumors, but also they destabilize the eternal quest for truth through scientific means. Even today our earth is the most safest place to live in this universe and there is no second earth still discovered yet. I wish our earth should sustain the progress of mankind for many billion years, and we must work together to make that happen.
