The End of the World

"In "The End of the World" Joseph McCabe discusses for the popular ear the various solutions to the question how it will end. End it will: the only question is how. Mr McCabe sets all [the theories] forth, the collision theory included, and does not take pains to destroy any of them except the idea that we are to be killed by a comet. He does, indeed, pause to show us that that particular method of homicide is impossible; but for the rest he simply gives the unlearned reader the different theories of the wise men. He also gives frankly the theory he favors, which is that we shall have an ice age #. too often and that it will stay." --NY Times
