Yes, humans will definitely go extinct. Species go extinct all the time as the environment changes. The key to ongoing life is that new species take the place of old species. The lives of species aren't that different than the lives of individuals.
Humans are much more capable of manipulating their environment than other species, but that certainly has its plusses and minuses. It could mean we have the ability to speed up our extinction.
No matter how well humans manipulate Earth's environment, we face a huge challenge over how to deal with the eventual death of the Sun (all stars eventually die, too). Unless we've developed interstellar space travel, the death of the Sun will certainly mean the extinction of humans.
And, of course, the survival of the human species would ultimately depend on the fate of the universe itself. If theories that the universe will eventually reach a state of equilibrium where everything in the universe reaches the same temperature turn out to be true, then no life could exist, period.

Lol as if that will ever happen, we as humans are already planning to colonize space and are finding ways to interstellar travel, so no matter what tries to wipe us out whether it's an asteroid or climate change, we'll have survivers somewhere. We also got technology by our-sides as well as us evolving into a more stronger and superior species. As for now we can easly be wiped out, but in the future we will have all the gear needed to surviving these kind of situations.

Yeah, humans will eventually become extinct. Everything will most likely die out eventually due to some natural cause (sun exploding in 5 billion years) or us humans messing up the earth we live on bad enough so that it no longer supports life.
And no matter how we become extinct, it will be because of science.

There is 2 ways I think this can go, A meteor wipes us off just like to dinosaurs died or the sun gets bigger and we all die from intense heat and then I also think that humans might evolve into the environment that is currently active

for sure we are able to. inspite of if we do not blow ourselves to smithereens, and inspite of if we cope with to get off the planet formerly the daylight swallows it up (and that is assuming we've not advanced into something no longer even remotely such as a human by then), we are actually going extinct even as the universe finally runs down and all usable skill is lengthy gone. for sure, for the instantaneous all our eggs are in this one basket, so at present any passing asteroid ought to end us off at any time, and we in all likelihood does no longer actually have time to word it formerly it hit...

Yes. All things eventually pass away.
Either humankind will wipe itself out in a war of annihilation, or we will outgrow the capacity of the earth to feed us, or we will poison the earth until it is no longer fit for human habitation.
One way or another, humanity will destroy itself.

Even if all humans went on to an afterlife, they would no longer be 'alive' in the biological sense that 'extinct' applies to. So, even once we have all been sent to Heaven or Hell, the human species will be extinct, biologically.

I f humans could conquer the ability to travel faster than the speed of light. We could find other planets that are similar to Earth. Eventually inhabiting the entire universe. We could exist forever. I think.

Yes due to lack of reproduction. Eventually, everything will boil down to the last STRAIGHT man on earth and even his all-powerful horny-ness won't be able to save mankid.
