End of the World Predictions

End of the world prediction
One of many false predictions about the end of the world.

According to a lot of doomsday sayers,  we should have experienced the end of the world or an apocalypse dozens of times so far.  Well it hasn’t happened yet, no matter how many sources they provided to prove them right.
