What would happen if an asteroid hit the earth?

I had seen an article on Yahoo saying that Obama really wanted NASA to concentrate on meeting a certain asteroid that scientists believe may have a chance of colliding with the earth in 2025. I was wondering if ALL of life on earth would cease to exist or just a portion? Is it even possible that they can throw it out of our orbit? I have seen the movie “Deep Impact” but that was a comet they were talking about!

How can this be true about the dinosaurs, when fossil evidence shows that there were almost no dinosaurs?

when the comet finally did hit the earth, no fossils of dinosaurs that is, but in this article they are saying that the asteroid/ comet took them all out, this makes no sense, and is inconsistent with the fossil evidence showing that around the time that the impact was made, that there were almost no fossils of dinosaurs even left? What is this article really saying? http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100304/sc_nm/us_dinosaurs_asteroid

Is Ahmenijad of Iran planning on initiating the apocalypse? (see article excerpt inside)?

As a devout Shiite Muslim, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is telling colleagues in Tehran that he believes the end of the world is rapidly approaching. He also believes that the way to hasten the coming of the Islamic Messiah known as the “Hidden Imam” or the “Mahdi” is to launch a catastrophic global jihad, first against Israel (the “little Satan”) and then against the U.S. (the “Great Satan”). What’s more, Ahmadinejad is widely believed to be pursuing nuclear weapons that would give him the ability to carry out his apocalyptic religious views. Some experts even speculate that Iran may already have several atomic bombs and the means to deliver them.

In recent days, Ahmadinejad and his advisers have said that Iran will answer the world regarding the future of its nuclear program on August 22. That happens to be a very significant date for Muslims: It is the anniversary of the supposed “night flight” by Mohammed from Saudi Arabia to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem to heaven and back again. There is a worry that Ahmadinejad is planning some sort of apocalyptic attack as his ‘“response” on August 22. If so, time is short and the clock is ticking.

Is the pushing forward of the so-called “Doomsday Clock” a political stunt by the Bush Administration?

If you read the Yahoo news article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070117/us_nm/doomsday_clock_dc_4

You will see that scientists concerned about nuclear weapons and global warming have moved the hands of the “Doomsday Clock” ahead by two minutes, symbolizing that human beings are getting closer to reaching the end of our existence. The article makes it a point to say that we are closer to having nuclear bombs used “locally” than ever before because of the threat of terrorism (which I think there is simply no real evidence for). We all know that Bush is pulling just about every string he can to get as many people to continue backing his war plans and troops buildup in the Middle East. Is this pushing the Doomsday Clock ahead yet another one of the tricks Bush and his supporters in Washington are using to scare the American public into more support for the war in Iraq (not to be confused with the “war” against terrorism)?
