You don't know what to believe?
I would say most Christians don't worry if the world blows up today tommorrow 2012 2029 because we trust the Lord everyda,y and the Lord says BE READY everyday for his return. If Science tells you thier is a good chance the world will blow up in 20 years then are you making preparations for an Asteroid hit? stocking up on water, flash light underground bunker,MRE's?
You say you trust Science so what are you doing to prepare?

No it does not.
Boris Shustov of the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences has said that under certain conditions the Apophis asteroid could hit the Earth in 2029, (although 2036 is more likely and I suspect he was referring to that pass and was misunderstood by the journalists) and that is would be worse than the Tunguska event.
There is no talk of the Earth being destroyed, that is purely your invention.
There is no association here with NASA, that too is purely your invention.

There have been doomsday sayers since the beginning of time (practically) and NASA is no exception. Last time, NASA said on the date May 5, 2005 the planets would align in a near straight line.. the first time they would be so straight aligned since dinosaurs walked the earth and the pull would be so great that there would be massive earthquakes that would pretty much destroy 70% of the land masses.
The only part of the U.S. that would be above water was to be someplace near the center of Ohio.
I trust science. I dont trust all scientists.

A very smart white girl, with an IQ over 300, just out of high school (already with several bachelor of science degrees) who founded a space launch company at age 16, will fly a spaceship of her own design with a combination chemical/deuterium fusion propulsion system, to the asteroid and deflect it using the rest of her fuel. Her name? Brenda Lynn Jones. As the story ends, the people on Earth think she's gone forever. But wait... maybe not. Read the sequel to see what happens next.

2% is hardly a GOOD chance of us being hit. That leaves a 98% chance that we wont be hit.
Somehow, I doubt water and MREs are going to help if we are struck. After all, thats what wiped the dinos from earth. What makes you think we will survive?

No one is saying the Earth is going to blow up any time soon.
Look around. No Mayans.

NASA is not in the business of predicting the future, my little ray of shining optimism
And if the Mayans were so clever at predicting the future they would have been able to predict the end of their own civilisation and not wasted their efforts making a calendar that outlived them for hundreds of years.

Current estimates put Apophis' chance of impact at around 1/45,000. No, I'm not digging a bomb shelter just yet.

For goodness sake, the asteroid is old news and it won't hit earth, zero probability. Don't worry about it.

So nasa said it WOULD hit...but on their official website they're saying it WILL NOT hit??
Hmmm this startling development within the last 5 minutes is weird...
