...to rapturous apples

...so it transpires that whatsisface got it wrong.
The day after Raptor day, I'm clearly still here.
Typing.
Wondering who gives a flying jesus wept.

Thing is, despite the number of followers - those that sold up and travelled, entirely of the understanding that they were spending their last hours on Earth - or the lack of followers thereof...it got the world discussing it. The futility. The impossibility. The unlikelihood.
What is entirely certain is that the world will come to an end. It simply will not exist for all time ever. The human species and its futile, impossible, unlikely beliefs will cease to exist, be it in synchronicity, or otherwise, with the end of the planet. You may or may not choose to agree, in the same way that you may or may not have chosen or chosen not to click the link and/or continue to read this. Whether it involves: jesus, earthquakes, angels, salvation, butterflies, dragons, black holes or ultra-dimensional super-astronauts is entirely irrelevant. There will be an end, and someone, a-split-second/day-or-two before hand, will claim to have predicted it. And they'll be right, because you won't have long enough to produce the evidence that they were guessing.
It was put to me the other day that the protagonists might have failed to factor in the days lost during the Julian/Gregorian calendar change. On a similar basis, there are doubts about the actual birth date of jesus, or even the existence of such a character at all, as well as the ability of previous humans to measure the passing of time accurately. Assuming the great flood happened at all, who on Earth is qualified to assert that it happened on the 21st May 4989 BC?! We can't even get the weather forecast right.
..but on the flip side, who's to say that the believers are wrong? I'm not in receipt of any specific proof that they're right, for sure, but what if you're right and they forgot the 11 days Julian/Gregorian slip?...or if jebus was born in October?....or those that chronicled the great flood didn't go on the piss for a week and forgot a day or two?...and did the great flood, if it occurred at all, only happen on a single day?...and if it's the planets aligning with the very core of the galaxy or universe, what is this?....to the nearest what? light year? Millimetre?
Who is more right to say it's happening today, yesterday, next week, or never?
You?
Me?
It's irrelevant.
Keep doing what you are doing, even if that is predicting the rectum of the apocralypse. Just don't be so sure that you're right, don't be so sure that someone else is wrong, and don't spend as long complaining about both parties as it took me to type this, a little worse for wear.
