Biblical authority refers to the belief that the Bible is inspired by God and serves as the ultimate source of truth and guidance for believers.

Yes, Nibiru is a myth. Supporters of the Nibiru cataclysm cult and its variations often claim that the scientific community's denial of its existence is some sort of cover up. However, there is no evidence of Nibiru's existence beyond the word of a possibly mentally imbalanced "psychic" named Nancy Lieder, who claimed that Nibiru was going to crash into Earth in May 2003. She also suggested that people put down and eat their pets. When Nibiru failed to crash into Earth, or appear at all, she withdrew her claim, and said that she made it in the first place to throw off the government. Her reasoning is that if the world's governments were to know of the actual date of the Nibiru disaster, they would be able to enforce martial law, and would keep citizens from somehow escaping the disaster, all part of some grand conspiracy. There is no evidence of the rational mind to support such claims.

Making the statement such as "Jesus' real existence is impossible" such as is made by one of these 'anti-Jesus' people (Remsberg), reveals the bias. To say something is impossible means that the author of such a statement has a criteria against which some things are possible and other things are deemed impossible. In other words he has a bias. Specifically, this often includes a bias against miracles and the supernatural.
G K Chesterton in addressing this type of issue said the following, and such a comment is still relevant today: 'The believers in miracles accept them (rightly or wrongly) because they have evidence for them. The disbelievers in miracles deny them (rightly or wrongly) because they have a doctrine against them.' G K Chesterton, Orthodoxy, ch.9, 'Authority and the Adventurer.'
There is no definitive answer as beliefs and theories vary widely. Some think the apocalypse may be caused by natural disasters, human conflicts, or even a cosmic event. It's important to focus on preventing such catastrophic events rather than predicting their exact cause.
In Revelation 7:15, the text describes those who have emerged from the great tribulation as being in the presence of God, serving Him continuously in His temple. This passage raises a philosophical question about the nature of time in a metaphysical realm such as heaven. The reference to 'day and night' should not be interpreted through our conventional understanding of time, which is a human conceptualization based on the cyclical patterns of celestial bodies and atomic changes. Rather, in this context, 'day and night' symbolize an uninterrupted, eternal service to God. It implies a state of existence beyond physical time, untethered from the temporal constraints of the material universe.
This interpretation aligns with the notion that God transcends time, existing in a realm where temporal measurements lose their meaning. Consequently, those who are in God's presence, as mentioned in Revelation 7:15, are also envisioned to exist in this timeless state. This idea is further reinforced in Revelation 22:5, which negates the necessity of any physical light sources like lamps or the sun in God's presence, emphasizing the perpetual and eternal nature of this existence. Here, 'eternity' is not just an unending duration but a different quality of existence, one that is fundamentally outside the bounds of earthly temporal experience. Thus, in the divine presence, the traditional dichotomy of day and night dissolves, reflecting a realm where time, as we understand it, ceases to hold sway.
