I guess it boils down to this: we'll all believe what we want to believe. I choose to believe in the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

But.... the evidence matters not then... it's simply what we choose??? (BTW I am not sure the imminency of his return is the question.)
I think the paper is very thorough. Here is an excerpt:
THE GEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE:
ARE EARTHQUAKES INCREASING?
If the popular notion of many prophecy teachers (Lindsey, Missler, Van Impe, Church, Jeffrey, Stearman, Hagee, Lalonde, etc.) is correct, two assertions about twentieth-century earthquakes must be true:
(1) a noteworthy deficiency of big earthquakes existed in the first half of the century,and
(2) an obvious increase in the frequency of big earthquakes occurred since 1950.
These two assertions must be made by prophecy teachers so as to support a notion of the unique "earthquake sign" occurring in the 1990s. Both assertions, we maintain, are false. Using the best earthquake catalog data and statements of seismologists, we have concluded exactly the opposite:
(1) a noteworthy excess of big earthquakes existed in the first half of the century, and
(2) an obvious decrease in the frequency of big earthquakes occurred since 1950.
