Relax and enjoy the show, it’s going to happen.

8The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.

10The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water— 11the name of the star is Wormwood. a A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.

Do you vote? Or leave it to God ?
A rhetorical question for the faithful.

Millions of scientist have looked into this and they have come up with this answer.

I had no idea we had videos from 1883.

Heck yea ... we had electricity, running water. Some of us even had indoor toilets.

I wrote a short story back in college about a meteor collision with the Earth. Earth had a plan to divert the meteor with a space mission. We ultimately perished because the UN was unable to agree on the racial/gender makeup of the crew.

The last words of the UN Council, right before the meteor crashed was ... "If we can't overcome our racial and gender stereotypes, we don't deserve to survive."

If we discovered one of these doomsday objects tomorrow, we would prepare three solutions in parallel:

1) we would start shooting it with lasers, hoping the resultant outgassing from vaporizing its material would change its course.

2) kinetic impactors....basically, throw heavily things at it to change its course

3) nuclear charges detonated nearby to accomplish the same thing

If given enough notice, we could also launch a craft that pulls up alongside the NEO (near earth object) and gradually influences it somehow to change its course. Or we could attach a strong method of propulsion to the object and try to force it off course.

Even a small one packs a punch. Brighter than the sun.

A huge object from space will never ever hit the earth and destroy mankind. I will bet all I own against 1 penny that it doesn’t happen.

Chicxulub. The problem here is that there is not one large object, but thousands of small object, from fist sized to 1/2 mile in diameter. It would be like an artillery barrage of nuclear strength shells. We have seen other comets break up, and even have pictures of that. A very good book on the aftermath of such a strike, "Lucifer's Hammer", by Niven and Pournelle.

Okay, but you have to surrender everything you own right now. If the end of time is reached, and this has not happened, then we will return your possessions to you.
