Look, as a Christian, I think the world's going to end eventually. But the fact of the matter is, people have been expecting the imminent end of the world since the beginning of the world, and we're still here. We should probably be ready for it, but to have a specific date? Empirical evidence suggests that any specific date is probably wrong.
