I could not agree with you more. Why people think that a child or a prophet (like Nostradamus) can predict anything like the end of the world to any degree of accuracy is ridiculous. If you want to have a great laugh, read any book about prophecies from 10 or so years ago. Bigger laughs are to be had if you read one from 20 or more years ago. After that, read a book about science from 20 years ago - compare how they each hold up. Any Dawkins or Sagan book holds up much better than any prophecy book.
