\"Given that the end of the world was supposed to be nigh, it perhaps wasn\u2019t surprising that Christian doomsday prophet Harold Camping had shown some reluctance to take advance bookings.
\nThe 89-year-old Californian preacher and radio host had prophesied that the Rapture would begin at 6pm May 21st in each of the world\u2019s time zones, with non-believers wiped out by rolling earthquakers, as the saved ascended into heaven.\"
\n\"His refusal to schedule a media interview for the following day - \u201cIt is absolutely going to happen. There is no way that I can schedule an interview because I won\u2019t be here.\u201d - was being replayed by media as the world firmly stayed standing.\"
\n\"On the microsite Twitter, groups of atheists and sceptics were last night swapping tales of After Rapture parties, with one group, in Tacoma, Washington, branding their celebration \u201cCountdown to Back-Pedalling\u201d.
\nMr Camping\u2019s doomsday prediction wasn\u2019t his first. He blamed an earlier apocalyptic prediction which passed quietly in 1994 on a mathematical error, last month saying:\" \u201cI\u2019m not embarrassed about it. It was just the fact that it was premature.\u201d read more from The Telegraph <\/a><\/p>\n
