Check out the 'simulation' I made (ok, it's a java game, but it's fun) in the URL Asteroids can be deflected with mass drivers that are actually nuclear engines that ground and heat up the asteroid’s mass and spit it out like a rocket engine.

The current estimates of the probability of Apophis colliding with earth is 1 in 45000 (at first, in 2004, it was up to 2.7%). So I guess we won't go down by asteroid just yet.
