The group End Times Prophecies has declared the world will end July 29 in a chain of events prompted by an ongoing phenomenon known as a polar flip.
The good news: We can stop worrying about who will be the next President.
A 17-minute "Armageddon News" video, posted on YouTube on July 9 and viewed more than half a million times, explains the end-of-the world theory as a modulated female voice reads through a variety of biblical quotes, illustrated with cheap special effects that couldn't buy Michael Bay a cup of coffee.
The Armageddon News report says, "The polar flip will make the stars race across the sky, and the vacuum from the reeling of the Earth will pull the atmosphere along the ground, trying to catch up, creating what is known as a roll cloud."
Well, at least the polar flip is real.
According to NASA, the polar reversal is a routine global phenomenon that happens gradually as a result of shifting liquid iron in the Earth's core. It's a slow process, though NASA does indicate some of the most intense drifting will be from June 14 to Aug. 19 this year.
End Times Prophecies uses that scientific truth as the catalyst for the apocalyptic chain of events.
Meanwhile, it should be noted that the group also had predicted a giant collision between Earth and an asteroid in May and that Barack Obama would reveal himself to be the Antichrist in June. So it's not surprising that the latest "news" is being met with skepticism.
As YouTube user Typical White Teenager says in a comment under the video, "I just caught a Dragonite and if I'm going my Dragonite is coming with me."
Pokemon Go followers aren't the only ones who would suffer from a July 29 apocalypse. Football season is about to kick into gear, the leaves will be changing soon, and the holidays will be right behind.
Plus July 29 is a Friday. Seriously, a Friday.
Why are doomsayers always such buzzkills?
World to end July 29, says group that?s always wrong
I wish I had used more of my PTO from work. Oh well. See you all on the other side.
If the world's ending, it certainly doesn't feel like it.
I don't think anyone's worried. These end times predictions happen every year (particularly from conspiracy clowns), and they're always wrong.

Can I forward them my bank details so they can sell all their stuff and send me the money before the world goes kaput?

As a cardinal's fan, the end of the world should be seen as a saving grace for you...

When you refer to the Cardinals are you referring to the team that won their division last year and made it to the NFC championship game and are picked by many to reach the Super Bowl this season? Those Cardinals?
Yep. Fluke team bound flail into obscurity. Any team that ain't the Texans I feel the same way about
Houston will be the first team to HOST the Superbowl at home. Watch and see!At least the Cardinals have won the championship (twice). Let me know when the Texans reach the conference championship game.

Ha! We shall see.The only way the Texans are getting to the Super Bowl is through Stub Hub.
So they went out and found someone OTHER than Ostweiler at QB? Why werent we told about this?Houston will be the first team to HOST the Superbowl at home. Watch and see!
