No such asteroids are known to exist. You can google NASA jpl NEO sites if the topic so consumes you.

No, being struck by a major asteroid could happen (it has happened before) but the Earth is not "fated" for that to occur.
There is no asteroid (that we know of, and believe me there are a lot of people looking hard) that is on a collision course with Earth.
There are objects that get close (called NEOs or Near Earth Objects) and they are being watched carefully by a number of scientific groups around the world. But so far there are none on their way in our immediate direction.

People waste so much time worrying about the future, & what fate has instore for them, instead of savoring the precous time we have now. That is time that's lost forever. Enjoy life, cherish he people around you. Stop worring about things you have no control over.

there definitely is a chance that this could happen, but if we detected it early enough, we could find a way to bump it off it's path just enough to make it miss us when it gets here. the asteroid that zach is talking about is calculated to just miss us. it'll be a great sight in the sky, but it's supposed to miss.

No, not necessarily. There are much more unimaginable endings to this Earth of ours but lets stay with the idea that Earth is never going to end (although everybody know it is not true). But that is a pretty interesting question...it is a possibility.

The Earth will be consumed by the sun when it becomes a red giant.
No big deal, it's aways off yet.
