Of some asteroid hitting earth in 2034. Like the world cup it`ll swing by every four years so in 2028, or so even before, they`ll be able to increase the likelihood or totally dismiss it`s chances of it causing devastation in just under nine years
65 million years ago dinosaurs roamed a lush fertile planet. A piece of rock just 6 miles wide changed all that. It hit with the force of 10,000 nuclear weapons. A trillion tons of dirt and rock hurtled into the atmosphere, creating a suffocating blanket of dust the sun was powerless to penetrate for a thousand years. It happened before. It will happen again. But it won`t be in 2034 as this piece of rock would only be on the level of destroying a city. Interesting enough though is that while scientists don`t know for sure if it will hit or not they do know where on earth it would hit if it were. A band of the earth starting in the mid Atlantic and moving in a westward line that encompasses Saharan Africa, middle east, bay of Bengal , India and China. It`s got the Chinese worried enough that they are not recruiting a planetary defence force to work on solutions.

2032 and closer to 1 in 50. I wouldn`t worry about it. China are probably using it as an excuse to build a ray gun.

I`m not worrying as I won`t be living close to any impact site although obviously an impact would have global geopolitical implications.

Dear friends, it might not be an asteroid we encounter but perhaps, prior to that, what is described in 1 Thessalonians 4 v 16-18.

Dear friends, it might not be an asteroid we see but what is described in 1 Thessalonians 4 v 16-18.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord"
The Trump of God. Well, we have a Trump in command of the world now. I think he believes in his role in bible prophecy, and is putting things in place to try and make that happen.
Although fairly well written, the bible is one big work of fiction, designed to hijack the more realistic pagan beliefs, and bring people under the control of their betters. The writers invented the character of Jesus Christ to replace The Green Man, and Christmas and Easter to replace the existing festivities. I`d take a big pinch of salt if you think this will be The Rapture and you are all going to be sitting at the top table with God and Jesus and all your departed loved ones- you won`t be

OK red star par. Thanks for looking it up and quoting it. Your reference to the Rapture may suggest you are a premillenialist. I would tend to be an Amillenialist.One way or another, asteroid, mankind`s self destruction or indeed a.n.other, the world we are living in is showing signs of creaking at the seams and a reasonable, even scientific prognosis, if statistics is a science, could suggest that some kind of climax may not be too far off.

Very true. We have plundered and destroyed the planet until it`s crying out for help. The world is a finely balanced system, but the humans have tilted that balance irreparably. The only hope for the planet is a massive event that will hopefully wipe out the entire human race, allow the planet the time to recover.
Hopefully, this 1 in 42 chance will have a direct hit in 7 years, wipe us all out, every one. You, me, all our descendants. The planet will be in turmoil for a while, but it will recover longer after the humans are gone. It`ll be good

Yes and then they squealed to the media that the nasty SNP Gov did nothing to fill the void that they created. That’s Unionists for you….

I met an oldish guy in a chemist shop in Glasgow today with a decidedly English accent. In semi serious jest I said to him, all you English guys coming up here and voting for Scottish Independence. I wasn`t wrong he was decidedly separatist. I have always tended to be Unionist. Whether that keeps Scotland in the backwaters, I don`t know. I just like to think that when I go down to England or Wales, that they`re my country too.

Apparently it’s about the size of the Big Ben tower and if it hits earth the so called experts say it will most likely hit south of the equator but not an extinction event.
If it hits F*lkirk it will cause widespread improvements they add. 😉

If its only the size of Big Ben, then we`re absolutely fine assuming it doesn`t hit nearby. That`s thousands of times smaller than the Dinosaur killer

Yeah. Worst case scenario it would destroy a small city or cause a tsunami if it hits the water.

At that size it`s more than likely to break up in atmosphere and lands scattered across a decent sized area. Unlucky if you`re in that area though but nothing to be concerned about

Very generous comment Dandy. No, you need to actually read the post before you come out all guns blazing. Although red star par quoted the scripture passage and mentioned a particular millenialist view, his remarks would be more aligned with paganism. I would take it the comment on the full obliteration of humankind wasn`t a serious view but exaggerated for effect.

Hardly "all guns blazing" , that was a touch dramatic.
All the "humans are a disease" crowd are welcome to go first to save the planet, they won`t though.
