........How about a meteorite?? Seems more logical to me.

Show any fairly intelligent, aware person the film of the bomb in Hiroshima, then the documentary footage of the Sept 11th 2001 World Trade Centre Twin Towers crumbling, and there can be no question at all that WAR will wipe out mankind eventually. The only question is...."When?"
Since I was a little boy I have been convinced of this premonition. Even now, hearing what Muslim leaders say in their public statements threatening the safety of English people, the recent Israeli-Lebanon battle, the wars and hate continuing in so many parts of the world, make me think that eventually some fanatic will impulsively press the button and.....
And I am an optimist! But..... hasn't war always existed somewhere in the world since our very beginnings? Was there ever a time when there was no war, anywhere?
Now the stakes are higher and the weapons more efficient.
Bin Laden is still at large.
Figure it out for yourself.
Peace be with you all,

I doubt it will be any of those. War will not do it. I have seen a quote - attributed to J Robert Oppenheimer, though I have never been able to confirm this - that says: "You cannot destroy humanity with an H-bomb. You can destroy enough of it so that only the greatest act of faith can persuade you that what is left is human". If nuclear war killed 99.99% of the population of the world, that would still leave between half a million and one million people. They would stumble and stutter on, and in at most a few thousand years would emerge into a viable world community again.
Disease never kills everybody, it only kills most people. These would be dire catastrophes for us, but would not wipe out mankind. Global warming is self-limiting. If 90% of the worls died there would not be the powered technology to make it any worse.
If something genuinely fully destroys mankind it will be something like a meteriote, as an earlier reply mentions. That could literally destroy the entire world, if it were big enough.

I think war is going to start a cascade of problems. first comes war then it will bring disease which will wipe out half the population on earth, while this is still happening the war is still raging and all the bombs droped and things blown up will cause global warming or even the ozone layer to fail. I just hope im not around to see this. this will happen in the next 200 years.

That does not make sense. "wipe out mankind first" You can only wipe out sometning once anyway.
But for an answer, I suppose it will be a combination of all 3. Global warming has started, more and more diseases are becoming more difficult to treat, and wars...

In my humble opinion Mr Sin, I would say Global Warming. It is going to have world wide catastrophic affects where as war will affect maybe two or three countries and most diseases can be contained.
I'm probably the only one with this opinion but I do like to be an individual.
Thank you for asking :-)

Good question dudemeister. We can survive global warming, diseases will be continuing wether we like it or not so we are looking at war as the main cause. Again i think we will survive but at a cost.

The answer is in your face....look at the tv.One channel will show you war,the other disease,another global warming.All cascade into one simple conclusion that as man continues to ignore the warning signs that mother nature presents he`s closing the curtain and preparing to bow out.Try to look at the bright side...for example recall the things we go all out to exterminate such as rats and weeds.No matter how many you erase they bounce straight back and thats gotta be a positive.So now I want to be a rat `cos wehay do those critters party.

Nothing is wiping out mankind anytime soon. We are here to expand and grow the civilization and conquer the universe! Just don't vote for the democrats in the next election.

LOL, what a question. i think it would be war and disease. With all the war that is going on in the middle east and the whole aids epidemic and other disease that they haven't find a cure for or may never find a cure for. I would say war and disease.

With so many wars and global warming and all the other crap things we do and have done I'm surprised we're still here. I think in the end we will all kill ourselves because death will be better than living on a doomed planet
