Gospel According to Saint Matthew
Chapter 6
33 Seek ye therefore first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Be not therefore solicitous for tomorrow; for the morrow will be solicitous for itself. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof.
The origins of the doctrine of the rapture are hotly debated. The Orthodox, mainline Protestant, and Roman Catholic churches (which represent the majority of Christians worldwide) have no tradition of such a teaching and reject the doctrine, in part because they cannot find any reference to it among any of the early Church fathers and in part because they do not interpret the scriptures the way that Rapture-believers do

And that number might be growing. You gotta understand though, that for people who believe in the rapture, second coming, whatever, are the ones who believe will be taken away, that somehow they'll get the best seats in the house to watch all the non-believers and people who gave them crap about their beliefs get slaughtered by the Anti-Chrits, which itself is a very messed up way to see salvation. But in itself is a way of life, and even though i'm generalizing, for most of these people is a way to make themselves believe that they are right and the others are wrong, which is the only reason why I hate some Bible beaters.

I'm seriously shocked by that number of crazed people. WOW. 55 million people....
Oh, and yes, they will die disappointed.
What's the Science Channel, I don't think I have it... Is it Natl. Geographic? That's the only science channel I can think of.

I think so. People have been looking forward to this for two thousand years and every generation thinks it's the one that is going to live through the rapture.

I believe so, and the apocalypse will be much more dangerous because of it. I will feel so terribly sorry for them, but they need to understand that we are all going through it and this is all our test.
I believe there will be some sort of rapture after all is said and done but it won't be like anyone is expecting.

well, that has yet to be determined , but you are correct that many people will be dissapointed - not everyone whom thinks they are saved will trully be so....
