Wow. That is one seriously open ended question. The answer to this may be a philosphical tootsie pop, the world may never know, until it happens. One hundred thousand years, one million? Who knows. What is certain is that homo sapiens will cease, although not in the manner you might think. As a race, we are evolving. Eventually, the products of the environmental pressures we are creating will no longer be ture humans in the sense that you and I will be humans. We will not likely disappear under one catastrophic event, but rather the accumulation of infinite minute changes. I do not think hellfire will come raining down on us any more than I think that global warming will create an environment that we can no longer cope with. The human race is due for some major catastrophic events, but rest assured the race will go on. We have one huge advantage that the dinosaurs, the dodos and the mammoths didn't- a big freakin' brain and the ability to reason. And a space program never hurt things either.

That is completely up to God. If you are asking specifically about individuals, "our days are numbered" before we are even born. As far as our human race, that will come to an end when Jesus returns. He will take with Him the Christians, leaving everyone else on earth to be either destroyed or to receive Him in the Tribulation process. That is your choice. When you look at the predictions in Revelation however, you will see that the end is near. Remember that Babylon is in Iraq!

Not that long... the earth is open in the air (get it, open in the air, lol jk... funny though)...

But according to Doomsday thing I watched on Sci-fi, there are 10 possible ways that the earth could cease, and the majority is pretty near. The ones I could remember are:

Terrorism- Biological Destruction (such as smallpox, anthrax, etc)

Solar Flares in Developed Countries (i.e, say Hello to a worldwide Katrina... if the US goes down, lets just say the world stops spinning)

Global Warming (I think this is pretty much obvious, antartica is melting at a very high rate, and this could add 10ft or more to land on earth. i.e, We'll be pretty much covered in water... Say hello to the flood with no Noah)

Animal/Plant extinction (We are already starving in parts of the world)

...Check out Sci-fi's Countdown to Doomsday... its a depressing documentary.

:D

Im not completely sure, but i do know that the male race will not be around as long as the woman. If i remember correct from the discovery channel, it was said that the chromosomes that create a male child are slowly diminshing every certain amount of years. And i believe there will be NO more men in around 125,000 years.

The human race will survive until we have depleted our resources and after that we will try to inhabit another planet. only the strong will survive.

Most likely we will have a world war that will destroy this planet within 10 years. The conflict will be centered on the Middle East and the United States will be drawn into to protect Israel. Then China will use this time to attack Taiwan. The world will be drawn into a world war of cataclysmic proportion.

As long as we stop abusing our atmosphere and fresh water stop melting. We have a chance to live a long time. But when you think about it they said tha sun will explode sometime in a billion years so we are we going to do if we can't see anything in a billion years.

Don't worry about that dear. Just live for today and save little bit for tomorrow. If you have more try to help the poor in this human dominated world.

Good luck

i say, this is based on humans and humans only. We may band together and save ourselves, but look at our world: our leaders are way too busy trying to make themselves rich to care about anything else! Bush: he has scientists trying to fuger out how to make better wewapons, but why do we need them? He wants to start a new war, make himself rich, and he doesn't want to spen $$$ on trying to save our planet! You know what, why are we leaving this up to only the leaders? We live on this planet, we should do something! We always leave it up to someone else to do something, well, if eveyone does that, then who does anything?!?! Those people who did great things: abraham lincoln, george washington, martin luther king jr., rosa parks, they all took matters into their own hands! Why do we just sit around?! Do something!

Millions of years or gone in 60seconds--it's not something you should worry about. An asteroid, a volcano, the second coming of Christ, any of those could take everyone on the planet. at any time.
