The problem I find is all these predictions have been made, dooms dates have come and gone, nothing happened and some times the predictions get recycled and extended out another 20 to 70 years. Other wise not a single one has even came close.
With the dooms day sayers impeccable record of failure, why would we start believing them now?

The failure of one prediction, or even a whole series of predictions, has no bearing on the veracity of an argument. Doomsday is inevitable, but fortunately those events usually take a very long time.
