"The Rapture"
#24
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_end_times_prediction
Yeah, that's actually what he said. If you read the rationale section closely enough, you will notice that he is pulling it completely out of his ass.
Harold Camping Wrote:1) The number five equals "atonement", the number ten equals "completeness", and the number seventeen equals "heaven".
Orly? says who?
Harold Camping Wrote:2) Christ is said to have hung on the cross on April 1, 33 AD. The time between April 1, 33 AD and April 1, 2011 is 1,978 years.
"Christ is said"? Now there are some weasel words if I ever saw any
Harold Camping Wrote:3) If 1,978 is multiplied by 365.2422 days (the number of days in a solar, as distinct from lunar, year), the result is 722,449.
Go ahead, pull out your calculators and plug this one in. Rounding errors anyone?
Harold Camping Wrote:4) The time between April 1 and May 21 is 51 days.
Yes, and...?
Harold Camping Wrote:5) 51 added to 722,449 is 722,500.
Right, but 51 was only found because it fit into your calculations.
Harold Camping Wrote:6) (5 × 10 × 17)2 or (atonement × completeness × heaven)2 also equals 722,500.
And JFK was shot by two men, three of whom were homeless. Proof Please?

At any rate, there are two possible options:
1) the rapture occurred, but nobody (including Mr. Camping) was worthy enough to be taken up, or
2) the rapture didn't occur, and this guy is full of shit
He isn't going to admit either of those things, so in the end, nothing happened.
