Pat Robertson Again Praching End of the World "Maybe"
End of the World? Not Likely, Scientists Say
By Ker Than
LiveScience Staff Writer

The recent spate of natural disasters affecting the globe "might be" signs that the Biblical apocalypse is near, says Christian televangelist Pat Robertson.

On an Oct. 9 episode of CNN's "Late Edition," the preacher noted that hurricanes such as Katrina and Rita and earthquakes like the ones that struck Pakistan this past weekend and the tsunami-causing one that struck Indonesia last December are hitting with "amazing regularity."

Scientists see Earth doing what she always does, however.

Latter days?

"If you read back in the Bible, said that in the latter days before the that the Earth would be caught up in what he called the birth pangs of a new order," Robertson said. "Well, what was called the blessed hope of the Bible is that one day Jesus Christ would come back again, start a whole new era, that this world order that we know it would change into something that would be wonderful that we'd call the millennium."

1. Stuff like this makes my eye twitch...
These, as horrible as they are, aren't even close to being
apocalyptic events.

5. It drives me crazy how these people misinterpret Revelation
They either don't know or care what the history/audience of that book is.
