"No man knows the day or the hour...." The Holy Bible

I was thinking of this a few weeks ago. Suppose we were told the day and the hour? Then this prophecy was confirmed by early astronomers who found a large asteroid/comet that would one day collide with the earth. How would this knowledge change the life of peopleand history? Would civilizations then number their calendars based on how many years left until doomsday? Would science advance faster in an effort to prevent doomsday or escape it? Would people bother procreating in the last hundred years?

Thank you for allowing me to express the thoughts trap in my eccentric brain.

Some would call it "doomsday" and all bets would be off. Others would call it "Judgement Day" and all bets would be off. I would be on the team calling it Judgement Day and cannot truthfully say I know how I would act.

God Bless.

Very interesting and sobering observations!

You might be interested in reading Lucifer's Hammer, in which a large comet is detected heading toward Earth. Good story (but I've always like TEOTWAWKI stories).
