The scientists say that "Apocalypse" is written in the end of 1st century, when Apostole John was about 100 year old, which is pretty imposible, cause people by that time were dieing at age of 50. Te scientists think it was written by other person, who just signed it as Apostole John. They also say the styles of the "Apocalypse" and "The gospel of John" are very different. What do you think about that? Could "Apocalypse" has been written by other author?

No you don't understand. There are three different Johns you are talking about. John the Baptist (You didn't mention him here), John the Apostle (Guy that ran with Jesus) and John of Patmos (This is the guy that wrote Revelations).
You are confusing John the Apostle with John of Patmos, its a rookie mistake. It happens to the best of us, so don't worry about it. Here is a link to a non-religious site that describes everything you want to know.

The Book of Revelations says that John wrote it so that's why I believe it.
God takes care of His Own Word from the very beginning
If He said in His Word that John wrote it, that's all I need to know.

I saw that show too.
Lets assume God is real. If GOD wanted John to write it, isnt it possible GOD let him live long enough to do it? OR, maybe John was in great health. Or possibly, it was another writer.
Does it matter much? It is included in the Bible for a reason, was found credible and truthful.
Dont believe everything you see on T.V.

It doesn't take a genius to see how pathetic the human race can be - and how brilliant.
I'm guessing there had to be several thousand people who saw enough of the former to predict our doom.
