I've also watched a number of documenteries on such end of human kind and maybe the whole planet.  Also such disasters have good evidence that all of this has happened in the past.  Some of this stuff makes Revelations look like a mild inconvenience in comparison.

These are real possibilities and not just some "nutter" espousing garbage from an ancient book to try to get you to convert out of fear.  To me  all that prophesy was just another fear tactic used by the christians to try to get more converts.  So clearly I'm not a supporter  of the 2nd coming.  In fact I'll bet that when  the big  one hits there will be a lot of distraught Christians when no salvation (except death) comes.

So to most scientist it's not a question of IF it will happen but  WHEN.

I have seen however, a few people that say that we shouldn't bother  with any such space programs or sciences that  may help prevent or prepare for these events because Christ is coming so we should just leave all the saving of mankind to him.

To these people (and I'm sure we have some  here) I say: shame to  you for being so lazy, so gullible, and so uncaring that you would sit back and do nothing but  try to hope that your particular faith will save you and then you turn right around and hope that the rest  of us would suffer just because we don't want to think like you.
Oh, humans are definitely doing everything in their power to destroy the conditions that support our life form. We've reached the point now where turning things around will require sacrifices the majority of us are not willing to make.

I think about all the oil we have at the north pole and wonder where it came from. If oil is fossil fuel and fossils are things that used to be alive, then at some time in history the north pole must have been teaming with life. . We live in a tiny sliver of time and space where the Earth supports carbon based life. We will come to the end of that sliver and we are trying our best to hasten that end. Then the Earth will keep orbiting the sun, just as oblivious to our absence as it is to our presence.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
