Apparently, the Bible says we should be hit by a major asteroid in 2012.

And 30m? Child's play.

It was suspicious wasn't it. First they think there's a 1 in 4 chance of it hitting us and then it misses us by 12m kilometres. Considering that the Earth-Sun distance is 92m kilometres that's a big miss. Of course hyperspacing the asteriod could make it look like a much larger miss :D

Yeah, but: [q]And 2004 AS1? It turned out to be bigger than anyone had thought - about 500m wide.[/q]

THAT size would have put a very very large area of the Earth out of commission. :nervous:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Another reason why you should not have long-range plans. ;)
And the Bible said that the Apocalypse would come in 2001.

So ....

The Bible also said that the battle of the Apocalypse would be fought over Jerusalem.

I have just noticed ... the Bible did not say anything. It wrote. :D
