Hoax : it's possible to predict when a meteor the size of "Toutatis" is going to pass near the earth.

Hey dude, Toutatis is an aesteroid, not a meteor. Meteors are small pieces of space debries that have entered the earths atmosphere and burns up. Toutatis has an orbit. This is not the first time Toutatis has passed the earth. They can track it like any other body in space. They know its current position, its current heading and speed. Unless you are saying that its propelled by a rocket that is going to increase its speed or change its direction, why cant they predict when its going to pass near earth? Is your area of expertise astrophysics? I think not. What televangelis convinced you this is a hoax and that you are going to be raptured out today during the beginning of the rapture?
