Astrophysicist Neal deGrasse Tyson predicts that 99942 Apophis, a near-Earth asteroid and the namesake of an evil demon in Egyptian mythology, may collide with Earth in April 2029.
At least those that survive 2012 will have something to look forward too; that or the apocalypse will get pushed back to that date (remember, even God forgets to do sh@t). I would much rather see the end of the world happen in 2029, I think I can fit that better into my schedule. I can see republicans denying the existence of asteroids and cutting the funding to get Apophis (the big rock of death) diverted.
That's pretty much the same thing Richard Dawkins explains in his article There is no God. He also points out how so many "believers" seem to hope for the end of the world. What a grim and sad thought.
