The end days are certainly comming for this planet,but they are not due for at least 4.5 billion years,so we have a long wait. Our species would have evolved further by then and may well have colonised other worlds in other galaxies.
Equally our species may well have become extinct by then,since everything is finate and only the universe itself is infinate.
Much money is made by people who recycle the same religious dogma and associated garbage. 1000 years ago they were professising the end days which they expected at the turn of the first millenium.
There is also a fixation with 2000 years which never changes. One of my great grandfathers,born in 1846 recalled being told Christ died 2000 years ago. A century later I was told the same bullshit. My nephews and neices are being told the self same bullshit today. My greatgrandfathers own grandfather,was told the same bullshit about 2000 years and he was born in 1798. Doubtless his grandfather before him heard the same nonesense. Clearly the established churches that make a good living out of preaching mythalogical nonesense, are incapable of realising that time marches on and that has each century,or for that matter each year passes,that it is no longer 2000 years.
Terrorism,wars and natural disasters have long occured. There are cycles of time when they occure more frequently than others,but they are not the harbingers of the end times anymore than the mythical four horsemen of the apocalypse.
Nostradarmus. Many books have been written over many decades concerning his prophecies. I have to laugh,each new edition makes certain claims which never ever come to pass. But the next edition then claims such and such an event was profesised,a check back to the last editions by the various recycled garbage arthors reveils the truth. Stiill every 5 years are so adolesence become adults and start to take an interest in what to them is entirely new.so the cycle of gullibility continues.
There is one uncanny thing though, the profacies of the long dead monk Malachy, concerning the succession of popes, have all be astonishingly accurate.
