Most Christian based religions propose that, one day, a catastrophic event will begin (Armageddon), we'll all be faced with a fiery death (or the like) and God will "intervene" and save those that have been 'faithful' (or the like).
My theory is:
Seeing as though there are a lot of people who beleive in this story (or similar), and humans have the ability to create weapons of mass destruction, Humans will *definitely* bring on Armageddon via target fixation in the near future.
Target fixation (for want of a better 2 words) is my way of explaining how humans have a tendency to fixate on a target or goal even when that target/goal is undesirable - take someone driving a car for example. If said person is driving toward a pole and, at the last second, realizes the pole is there - he or she is more likely to hit the pole if they are completely fixated on the pole than if they are looking elsewhere - they drive toward where they are looking.
I'm proposing the same thing for Armageddon. It's going to happen simply because Humans imagine it will. They are fixated on it, therefore it *will* happen.
Also..
Given the current high activity in terrorism around the globe, and it's blanket targeting of innocent civilians, it looks like it might happen earlier rather than later.
