1 in 37 chance a meteor will hit earth in 2029 and it if doesnt it will get closer to earth then the satalites. And if it goes through a certain spot then 7 years later in 2036 it will hit earth.

It's estimated that there's a near miss from an asteroid larger than a house every three days or so, any one of which could destroy a city. Most near misses are spotted after they've happened.

even with THAT impact, there is a fair chance life would survive. Bacteria go down through the Earth's crust for MILES (3-5 miles confirmed, but no one knows how much farther they go). Even with the whole surface liquified (as it has been in the past since life came into being) they will probably survive and then just roam on back up as they can and life will start all over.
These bacteria need neither oxygen or water. They live off of eating ROCK. However, they have dormant genes for breathing oxygen which will likely be recalled in an oxygen rich environment, once they find their way back up to the surface.
Humans = Gone, though.  <-- I am sad because I am one of those...

Don't feel too sad, your life as a bacterium would be much shorter and less enjoyable anyway.
And one thing has always bothered me about the "asteroid wiping out all human life on earth" scenario, even though I haven't really cared to research it much...
Wouldn't those big dust clouds that would supposedly blot out the sun just get caught in the rain and plummet right back down to earth?

the dust would be up too high. rain comes from very low parts of the atomphere. its very dry and windy up above that. they could hang there for a long time.
