I think it has it's place in science and popular culture, but it's often relegated to the purpose of propaganda tool.

Rubbish.

Will the world end? Certainly. Will it end on any sort of schedule? Nope.

The Doomsday Clock is a not to be taken literal. It's just there to remind us that humankind has the power to exterminate itself, and might just use their power to make a point.

As long as it's not hitting midnight we're safe.

And here be the official website of the Doomsday Clock owners -> Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

And a bit of history on the Doomsday Clock on wikipedia, however there's another source you could use - doomsdayclock.org - though it hasn't been updated since the last time the minutes were changed in 2002.
