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.

The Judgment Day: Another Hoax
Come May 21, 2011. The entire world will be transformed into a bundle of mega devastation by the nature's fury and the real apocalypse is here this time, claims 89-year-old Harold Camping, the president of Family Stations, Inc., a California-based religious broadcasting network. Without criticizing his belief in any particular religion, let's be bit critical to all his previous predictions, which in all probability, he predicted, the world could have met the doomsday in 1994. And 17 years after, this world is still living its life like king-size with greater degree of progress, innovation, and overall social and economic development. His radio stations are continuously engaged in spreading the message that this time, the world will certainly meet the doomsday on May 21, with a massive earthquake with rip apart this earth and majority of world population will die within 153 days of “death and horror.” For that matter, he uses his deep understanding of Bible and numerology skill to arrive at this date, which he thinks is absolutely correct.
Well, I have never read Bible and I believe there is any need to read any religious scriptures to understand the complexities of nature. For that one should be scientifically knowledgeable to understand how this universe was created and how various evolutions and natural events have shaped this world over billions of years, what we certainly do enjoy living in with great conviction. Irrespective of all clairvoyance, prediction, and religious references, this world will not finish that way what these pseudo prophecies claim. There is a long way to go. And all these hoaxes become extremely nagging, as we are living in a connected world. A small, trifling piece of misinformation, which has no scientific evidence, often haunts us because every time we come across such tantalizing news, we forget to apply our intellect to see through it, and what eventually creates a complete chaos in the society. Perhaps, this helplessness nature of human being can be attributed to the irrational side of mind.
What Camping is doing in spreading such misinformation is an indication of his naivety in understanding the evolution of this world. Neither he has scientific capability to conclude the veracity of his analysis nor he has that immense rational strength to join the sequence of past events to extrapolate a probable incident, but again that could be entirely misleading too. So a prediction like the next doomsday is another hoax peddled through Internet.
