Asteroid/comet striking the Earth that is large enough to cause global disaster: 1/1000

this stat alone proves that these are all made up

[/ QUOTE ]

According to NASA: "The asteroids capable of causing a global disaster if they hit the Earth are extremely rare. They probably would need to be about a kilometer or more in diameter. Such bodies impact the Earth only once every 100,000 years on average."

I assumed a human lives 100 years to make it simple.

100 year human lifespan * 1/100,000 years is the chance of asteroid hitting = 1/1000 chance during your lifetime

if everyone lives 100 years, and a comet comes every 100,000 years, that would be 1 comet for each 100,000/100 = 1,000 generations

since we can assume the comet will kill everyone, your chance of dying from one is 1/1,000

Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA is predicted to collide with Earth on March 16, 2880. The energy released by the collision would cause major effects on the climate and biosphere which would be devastating to human civilization.
