Earth had a close encounter with a 40-yard-wide asteroid this week, but the astronomer who first reported the large rock says it's no big deal.
Asteroid 2009 DD45, thought to be between 68 and 152 feet across, passed within 38,000 miles of Earth Monday - a close call in astronomical terms, at less than twice the height of the geostationary satellites we depend on for communications, according to Robert McNaught of the Australian National University.
McNaught, of the Siding Spring Observatory 250 miles northwest of Sydney, Australia, spotted the approaching rock Saturday. It raced by Earth almost seven times closer than the moon at 6:44 p.m. New York time.
"No object of that size, or larger, has been observed to come closer to the Earth," McNaught told the Sydney Morning Herald. In 1908, an object believed to have been somewhere between 50 and 70 meters across flattened some 800 square miles of Siberian forest.

If the Earth survives the sun's expansion, then it will cool down to absolute zero and become a dead planet.

Recently, on March 4, an asteroid passed near the Earth at the distance of only 72,000 km. Scientists didn't even noticed it. If it hit the Earth, it could have the same consequence as 1,000 atomic bombs exploded.

if following your logic and you believe that God protects us against meteorites, then namely God must protect us against the problems that emerge from us - overpopulation, nuclear war etc.
However, God protects the ones who are striving for protecting themselves.
