But dead from what? there are other disasters that could end the world such as plagues, nuclear and biological warfare, the bloody ice caps melting. Not that I want to panic you in any way Day walker, but don't tell your parents to cancel that bunker they are planning to build just yet.
Better safe than sorry.

They believe the dark ages were so called because of a meteor impact releasing dust, ash and debris into the atmosphere, and reducing the human population to a few thousand.

Scientists think there may have been a more recent one, too. This is to do with the variety of human genes in existence over the entire globe not being anywhere near as high as archaeological records would predict. The best explanation offered for this is that some event reduced the humans to a few thousand or so in number some time far back in our history. Currently the most likely explanation for that is another meteor impact.

And meteorites have hit Earth before the dinosaurs wiping out 90% of life.
And then they think the same happened with the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago, 65% of life was wiped out.

Either that or you would be arested.

I reckon I'm going to get up and kill everyone if there are too many really crap topics on this forum. That's how the world will end.

The chances of a meteorite hitting us is 100%. That's because a meteorite is a meteor that has actually hit us already...
(and a meteor is an asteroid that is already in our atmosphere)
Now that I've finished being pedantic, I'll actually add some thoughts ;)
Most rogue asteroids entering our solar system won't hit us. The main reason for this is not because we're so small in comparison to the size of space (in fact, there are so many asteroids floating around that we would normally be extreemely exposed), but rather that Jupiter's prescence in the solar system acts almost like a hoover for loose debris, as Jupiter is so massive. This is true to the extent that if Jupiter did not exist, life on Earth would be a virtual impossibility thanks to the frequency with which we'd get hit.

Apparently last year an asteroid 4 times the distance from the Earth to the moon past us... Nasa didn't spot it until it was there... they can spot them 20 million light years away but not that.
