I'm curious as to what people think about this issue. Do you think it will be something out of the ordinary or something we are doing?

Mother Nature can pretty much dwarf anything man does. If something large enough impacts the earth from space, it would be all over in minutes for the whole planet. A super volcano could do the same job in days. Another New Madrid earthquake could destroy 1/3 to 1/2 the United States in a month.

I think the biggest global killer is and will be again a large chunk of rock impacting the surface of the planet.

Being part of nature, anything man does, is also natural.
It may not be smart (now there is a given!), but is certainly will be natural. We DO work all of our stuff within nature.
If the super volcano under Yellowstone Park lets go, it will make anything we do look so minute, it's ridiculous.

In the past it's been meteor impact.
In the future it may be bombardment by relativistic missiles from an alien civilization.

by Charles Pellegrino for a compelling argument of why an alien civilization would want to destroy ours.

Both possible, but man-made global catastophies will be slow coming and spreading, while a natural one will be "out of the blue" (literally), and quick, and instantly deadly.

It will be manmade chaos, we would eventually deplete all of our natural resources and the world would die a slow ending, it is the nature of human development. Unless an act of God destroys the earth, and judgement day begins before we finish destroying it ourselves.

I am sure man will kill and the reason is that as man continues to multiply and multiply the supplies and food will be less and less . Man will kill many to see that his family has food etc. wars help to balance this problem.
