End Of The World 2015: NASA Slams Conspiracy Theorists’ Apocalypse Threats, Says No Scientific Basis For Imminent Mass Destruction

"The Sept. 28 prediction was not the first date that was allegedly prophesized as the end of the world. In fact, ancient Mayan prophecy claimed that the world will end on Dec. 12, 2012 when a mysterious planet collided with Earth. Yet, we are still here. However, all good things must come to an end, sooner or later, so as humanity's stint on Earth.

There are actually so many ways that could bring the end of the world. Aside from asteroid impact, human race could be wiped out any time by global warming, gamma ray burst, pandemic, robot ascension and black holes. Daily Mirror also added that global war, magnetic reversal, supervolcano and alien invasion could also be a reason for mass destruction.

As for the date and year, The Guardian revealed some predicted dates that will be the end of the world in the relatively near future. First up is on Oct. 7, 2015, the date predicted by eBible Fellowship leader and founder Chris McCann.

NASA, however, ditched the "end of the world" claims.

"There is no scientific basis — not one shred of evidence — that an asteroid or any other celestial object will impact Earth on those dates," NASA's Near-Earth Object office manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Paul Chodas said, as per CBS News. "If there were any object large enough to do that type of destruction in September, we would have seen something of it by now. In fact, not a single one of the known objects has any credible chance of hitting our planet over the next century.""


Like how they qualified their dismissal with "...on those dates..." ;)
