This is the stuff of science fiction. The reality is that there's no evidence to support this

The evidence points to a
finite universe, expanding at an accelerated rate.

This I agree with, although who's to say *we're* not the aliens (as it were)

I'm not so sure that's an apt analogy but essentially I accept the premise, although there's still plenty of room for sheer chance. Huge asteroids or larger have collided with the earth millions or billions of years ago, as unlikely as it seems at this relatively late stage, it isn't impossible that it could happen again. One can only hope that it's a direct hit on Fox News headquarters.
