End of the World?

I just heard another report about some religious fanatic who predicted the end of the world again! I seem to recall hearing of many (5 to 9) times in human history when a person or group of people claimed to have knowledge of when the world will end.  These are the people who are overly obsessed with death and dwell on what's coming afterward.  I think "after life" is going to be just as exciting as "before life"!  However, I must keep in mind that there are those amongst us who claim to have an awareness of previous life.Personally, I think it is all just a bunch of malarkey.  When the astronomers tell me that they see a giant asteroid or meteor headed for our planet, then I will start to worry... a little bit.  Although worrying won't help much!
