Ok, there's a 1 in 530 000 chance that this asteroid will hit the earth when I'm 98.  If I live that long, I'll probably be ready to check out anyway.

And why exactly is this in the 'Religion' forum? Is there some bizarre Qurannic prediction I’m unaware of?

Good question. 

But we shouldn't be surprised. Every religion has doomsday nuts who cant understand nature and the universe don't care about their superstitions.

Not the point. If he mistakenly posted it in the wrong forum, I’m happy to move it for him. If it is some sort of religious doomsday prediction, it belongs here.

While I once believed in God, I have long since ditched the vile idea that it takes mass genocide to correct human behavior. When a meteor hits our planet, and that is not a matter of if, but when, it will be no different than the meteor that killed off the dinosaurs, and there will be nothing super natural about it. And nobody sane is going to argue dinosaurs worshiped gods and had their own doomsday claims.

Again, it's not about that.
