And by focused, I mean batshit insane.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

It's eerie how he hasn't responded. Do you think he already... no, it couldn't be.

If any major event occurs within that 24 hour time period, it will be 'evidence' that it happened.
If nothing happens in that 24 hour time period, it will just show that the transition was spiritual and invisible.
I used to be a JW. I've heard this crap a million times, and so far, every single 'end' or 'rapture' prediction has batted zero.

Yes, but one day they will be right and then you'll be sorry. Oh, wait, everyone will be dead...

Only $20? 
What's the difference? When have you you known fundamentalists pay up when losing a bet on prophecy?

I knew this thread would be a barrel of laughs the moment I opened it, but to actually set a date? That clinches it.
It used to shock me that people would actually say things like this seriously, but now...I guess you could say I've been desensitized.
Twenty two days from now? The suspense (for the follow up thread) is killing me already!

Does not the fictional piece of work also declare that man knows not when Jesus' second coming will occur? Therefore, you are full of shit.
