When do you think the human civilization will disappear?

Question

When we speak of war, mother nature, hunger and other such drastic changes in the world, this is the question that comes to my mind.

Answer 1

pretty soon if we continue to destroy our planet at current rate.

Answer 2

This hard to really set a time limit to. We have many things that can happen. Watching a Documentary on History Channel about Butchers, we can see there many problems man/woman are facing with Cattle/Meat. E-Coli and Mad Cow Disease. So, our food supply may already be becoming more at risk, and, this is not limited only to Meat products.
Natural Disasters seem to be on the rise, man blames himself, but, is this really true. By blaming man, we tend to feel we can control this, but, if it is nature as it has been Thousand of years before man had any influence, then we can not control what may happen. Now we hear talk of Asteroids hitting the Earth and Destroying all life!!!!
Man's hate toward each other. We see more wars which could one day escalate into a Final life ending World War!
From a religious point of view, we see/hear of Bible Prophecies that point toward the End, are we close to this? We can not say, people have speculated this type end for Thousands of years now!
So, it hard to say when, but, more and more possibilities are arising/confronting us as to our survival as a life form on this Earth.
There is a Featured Question today; "What's the trick to living in the moment"? This may be something we should really think about. We can not live in Despair wondering when we ALL will die. We should focus on just living and try to do it in Peace!

Answer 3

Definitely not soon and it's hard to give a time frame. But i think it won't be till all human and natural potentials have been fully explored, harnessed and utilized to the best possible ends. In short till humanity becomes the best it can be. To have it any other way will be for humanity to be just another case of arrested development. But then, the decision is Gods'.

Answer 4

Human civilization will disappear when we evolve into a higher life form, after tens to hundreds of thousands of years. It will be a seamless process. What will we look like? I have no idea. Probably not much different than now, but genetically we will no longer be human.

It is also possible that a meteor impact or virus will kill off enough humans to make the current human civilization unmaintainable, but if enough of us survive, a new civilization will rise in its place.

Answer 5

Sooner rather then later. Dinosaurs managed to hang around for about 200 million years before most of them died off. Mankind has been around less than a million years, but we've managed to screw things up pretty quickly. Barring any major corrective action, I would guess that pollution, disease, or solar radiation will end humanity within a century. With any luck other life forms will survive.

Answer 6

I'm afraid I must disagree with the premise of your question. There is no human civilization, as civilization is a process through which humanity is currently passing, and it is not even a destination that we are ever likely to reach. Simply put history is the story of our civilizing.

Answer 7

I just recently watched a show called "The Bible Codes" and they predict the end of human civilization in the year 2012, with the earth being struck by a meteor.

Answer 8

At our present rate of social, political and environmental degradation we haven't got more than 150 years at best. We need to be more tolerant and insist in better leaders that will not put the almighty dollar above people. We need to learn to harness technology for the common good instead of the greed of a few.

Answer 10

as we know it?
2012, the end of the mayan calendar...

"Pacal Votan's prophetic call is alerting present-day humanity that our biological process is transforming, approaching the culmination of a 26,000 year evolutionary program. Bringing the return of universal telepathy, heightened sense capacity, and self-reflective consciousness, this is a return to the sacred domain of our inner technology."

This grand cycle of evolution will culminate

Answer 11

I think that the lawyers will eventually launch a class action suit in which God, Himself, is the defendant. God will get so fed up with the whole trial thing, discovery, the paperwork and all of that, that He will decide to end this experiment.

Or, maybe we will get lucky and He will just get rid of the lawyers....
