Yeah. Only a 99.9999% probability.
But NOT a certainty.

99.99999% probability? Where are you getting your numbers? In a million years the chance is probably about .0000001%, a billion, probably .00001%, and so on.

Guess again. Its WAY higher then that.,,
And note this is ASTEROIDS only. Does not include COMETS.

The figures here show there is no reason to prepare for it. If it happens, it happens. I’m willing to wager it won’t.

You’re free to stick your head in the ground. Not exactly a smart response, but one you are entitled too.
I’m not going to worry about it, but not going to claim “ it won’t happen”.
It might...

If I didn’t believe we were created by God. I think I would believe it would happen (eventually). But likely not during our very short period on this Earth. At least, not big enough to cause an ELE. Maybe one will come around and smash a city, but I think that is all we MIGHT see.

A meteor can smash a city.
An asteroid WILL take out at least a county, country or continent.
And it WILL happen. Geologic and astronomical timing is very long. Or it could happen tomorrow.

Yes, that’s why the outer planets take meteor hits all the time.
