End of the World Predictions and Why They're Wrong 00:55:07 – 00:56:07

Part of the same Q&A exchange; Mike speculates on motivations.

Proposed motives: (1) genuine excitement about Jesus's return that overrides critical judgment; (2) a teacher's desire to find something 'new that nobody has noticed before' — though Mike notes: if you find something nobody has ever noticed, you probably made it up; (3) arrogance — 'wise in their own eyes' mentality; (4) simply being an unreasonable person (he says this of David Mead specifically).
