Will the Apocalypse come or not? by Barbora Misakova

There were so many people thinking about the last day on the Earth, and many of them were even trying to determine the exact day, when the apocalypse will come. Probably the most famous was Nostradamus, who predicted that December 21st in 2012 will be that day. His prognosis was: our Earth will be destroyed by comet, which is also responsible for such events as great flood (when only Noe and his family with "few" pieces of animals were saved), or the beginning of Ice age. Even though I am always quite fascinated by all these predictions, I think I am a nonbeliever, especially in these a bit overblown concepts. I don't know if there is even a possibility to determine a date of apocalypse, I think we are some kind of apocalypse for the Earth. I think we are going to destroy it by ourselves and it won't be at one day, but it will last years, till we finally ruin everything.
Just look at the situation as it is now & floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, and fires & all so destructing, so dangerous. Week ago it was a problem in Cuba with hurricane, two weeks ago Pakistan had to face another earthquake, and now California is burning. Fire destroyed more than 800 houses and more than 34 square miles have burned. Fire also caused that Los Angeles lies in opaque sky, smoke is smelled everywhere and air quality is just so bad, that marathon in suburban Pasadena had to be canceled. As we know apocalypse will not destroy only poor ones, but the whole world will be lying in the dust: in Los Angeles County were destroyed also multimillion-dollar homes in Diamond Bar. I am not trying to say that apocalypse is already here. All I want to say is that we shouldn't always and entirely believe in words of some fortune teller, but we should start to think how we could protect us and our Earth from today's pogroms and catastrophes. And maybe then none apocalypse will come!
