<p>My prediction is based on knowledge gleamed from years of poring over the ancient writings, all of the latest scientific data and my own empirical reasoning.</p>
<p> Will it be of fire or ice?</p>
<p> I haven’t got that far in my studies.</p>
<p> We first know that this earthly kingdom was designed to reign for hundreds of years but not thousands.</p>
<p> We have completed the 1900’s, and now we advance on the next, which by my count is the end of the hundreds. How often do you hear someone say, “twenty hundred”?</p>
<p> So we know we are now in the plural thousands, subject at any time to become just a big ice encrusted snowball or alternately a cataclysmic sudden puff of very bright light in the galaxy.<br />
