Will May 21, 2011 Be The End Of The World?
Well, according to a small Christian movement, yes, it will.
The movement, led by Harold Egbert Camping who runs the evangelical station Family Radio, is predicting that mid-May of this year will bring about Judgment Day or the second coming of Christ - the time when, according to some, the earth will be destroyed due to mankind's sins and all Christian believers will ascend to heaven.
Apparently Camping believes this will occur on May 21st because of a mathematical system he created to interpret prophecies hidden in the Bible. He claims that Jesus will return one year from today.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, former civil engineer Harold Camping is one of the leading voices of the doomsday movement. After doing some number crunching based on biblical figures, Camping has apparently come up with a new and improved expiration date for the human race: May 21, 2011. Camping previously thought that the world was going to end on September 6, 1994, but discovered that he had made a mathematical error.
Harold Camping is so obsessed with his calculations, that in his book Time Has an End: A Biblical History of the World 11,013 B.C. - 2011 A.D, he even has gone so far as to claim that the creation was 13,022 years ago and that the church age ended in 1988:
Camping's mathematical calculations are based on some numbers concerned with some years mentioned in Bible which he relates to, but actually which had proved to be a real absurd and it also has been proved that Bible haven't mentioned any dates for the end of the world. No doubt, Harold Camping has incorrect dates and lengths of time for Biblical events and Bible clearly disagrees with Harold Camping's dates which he correlated with the dates of Floods happened in the past.
Still, according to Rapture doctrine, most people will barely notice that Judgment Day has gone by. That's because May 21 is, according to Camping, the day when only the righteous will be saved and taken to heaven. Everyone else, on the other hand, will have to remain on Earth for a period of torment. The real fire and brimstone show, Camping further predicts, will get under way in October 21, 2011.

Creation of Adam...11,013 B.C. (p. 101).
A.D. 1988 was exactly 13,000 years after the creation (p. 116).
The end of the church age which coincides with the beginning of the Great Tribulation which immediately precedes the end of the world is awful, traumatic, disastrous to the divine institution of local congregations. Furthermore, it is worldwide in scope (p. 356).
...the duration of time encompassed by the entire Great Tribulation appears to be 23 years (p. 400).
Since the church age identifies with Pentecost at which time the first fruits were brought in we could expect the end of the church age to be the day before Pentecost in 1988 (p.410).

Don't know on what basis, this man anticipates all these nonsense blasphemies and distracting the world with his absurd calculations. This man doesn't deserve to be a Christian.
