Arthur C Clarke: Beware of Gamma Ray Bursts

In June 2000, shortly after being knighted, Arthur C Clarke said:
"Some of the greatest threats to mankind's future, are global warming, pollution, gamma ray bursts and the threat of an asteroid hitting the earth.

...Gamma ray bursts are sudden outbursts of energy - several times more powerful than the sun - which may suddenly occur," he elucidated.

"If it happens during any of our lifetimes, we have all had it. I think that such a phenomenon may have affected evolution and if it happens again, there is nothing we can do about it."

Very interresting about the gamma Ray bursts. However, if I'm not mistaken, all of us dying like that or the world coming to an abrupt end would not be in keeping with biblical prophesy.

Interresting Gamma Ray theory. If I'm not mistaken, though, humanity ending like that or the world coming to an abrupt end would not be in keeping with biblical prophesy. Any thoughts?
