end of the world???

Question

do you think the world is going to end any time soon???

Answer 1

Ummmm, no! People are so silly. In the year 999 people flocked to Rome so see the Pope because the "end was near"...and then nothing happened. Many people thought WWII was "the end"...but it wasn't. Then Nostradamus predicted the end of the world would occur in the mid-1980's...and then nothing happened. And then Y2K was going to be the end of the world....and again, nothing happened.
It's not going to be anything spectacular, I tell you...we'll go out with a whimper, not a bang. Our self-destructive nature, greed, rape of Mother Nature, pollution, wars, dwindling resources, and over-population will catch up with us sooner or later and we'll quietly go the way of the dinosaur. Stupid humans, eh?

Answer 2

It's an astronomical surety the earth will be obliterated by the supernova of our sun in 4.5 billion years, nothing to worry about for us.

There are many forms of extinction you may not have heard of. For example super-volcanoes, the most destructive force on this planet. An eruption would destroy a vast area of land and trigger a nuclear winter. The whole of Yellowstone is a massive super volcano - and it is 40,000 years late in its cycle of eruptions. Scientists have been noticing some strange tectonic activity in the park…

The combined nuclear capacity of the US and Russia is more than enough to kill every human on this planet. Nuclear Holocaust is the stuff of nightmares but the Cuban Missile Crisis showed us how close we can come so easily. But there are little known incidents in which nuclear submarines have been shockingly close to launching, with no crisis elsewhere.

There is also the threat from bacteria and viruses. Bacteria are becoming immune to our antibiotics at a much faster rate than we are discovering new ones. Eventually we will have nothing left to fight them with. Terrorists and leaders of rogue states have long been trying to produce large quantities of tropical viruses, such as Ebola and Lassa Fever. New technology allows these viruses to be engineered to be more contagious, stronger and harder to kill. Their effect on the human body is already terrifying.

The Bible prophesises the end of the world in the Battle of Armageddon. Many scriptures in the Bible describe this event, and give clues to how and when it may happen. Several of them seem to point to a date of 2007 for the return of the Antichrist and the beginning of the Battle. They depict in detail how the Battle will be fought - it starts with an alliance of Arab nations invading Israel.

Millions could also die with rising sea levels. If the Antarctic ice sheet were to melt then sea levels around the world would rise by 55 meters, completely flooding hundreds of large cities such as Los Angeles, New York and Tokyo. Now there is a large amount of evidence that the ice sheet is thinning and global sea levels are starting to rise. With the predicted rise in global temperatures over the next century the rate of melting can only increase.

Aliens invasions are the stuff of science-fiction, but could soon become very real. Of all the trillions of other stars in the universe, surely we cannot be the only ones with life. There are numerous ways that aliens could break the light speed barrier; such as worm holes, folding space and 'hyper-space'. There are numerous reasons why an alien race might wish to invade Earth, such as needing new land or resources, or simply doing what we call 'ethnic cleansing'.

New experiments being carried out at a particle accelerator called the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) could have unthinkable consequences. There, and at other such places, scientists are attempting to recreate the big bang - the event that formed the universe. Some predict that they could cause a black hole which would consume the Earth, others that it could turn Earth into a planet of 'strange' matter, leaving it with no substance, and another possibility is that an explosion would be released from the lab with infinite energy.

The most famous example of an event that could cause Armageddon is a Near Earth Object (NEO). This term describes asteroids and comets passing close to Earth. There are millions of these capable of hitting the Earth with apocalyptic force. Impact would cause vast fireballs, huge earthquakes to ripple round the globe and towering dust clouds that would cause a nuclear winter. Apophis will have a near miss in 2029 and a 1 in 300 chance of impact in 2036. Do we have the technology to nudge its orbit a wee bit?

Answer 3

by 2050 our natural resources will be used up and we'll all go into crisis mode and panic or maybe even before that some dumb *** will nuke the whole planet which is what hpeens to most civilizations in the universe, like teh movie war of the worlds itd be hopeless for us to adapt to a new planet with the different bacteria and the atmospheric pressure.

Answer 4

No one can predict the end of the world. Each day is one day closer though.
Biblically speaking though not all of the end of the world events have been fulfilled so it could be a while.

Answer 5

No, but our physical lives will end. Who currently is alive past 120 or 135? Most people (about 85% or so) won't need to reincarnate after this life/age. This age is said to end at the end of the Mayan calendar circa 2012. The world will continue forever.

Answer 6

I don't think that the world is going to end anytime soon. Sometimes it feels like it's going to, but I don't think it will.

Answer 7

Can never tell, many religious wackoes in the US are trying to end it, because they believe they will inherit Israel (Neo-Cons and Mormons), or some other 'promised land', and have gained political support, yet hopefully there are enough people who would not like to see the world end, just yet, to stop this minority.

Answer 8

Do you mean the world in general ( all life )? Highly unlikely.
Do you mean extinction of all humans? Probably not.
Do you mean your/my death? Can't rule out it ending tomorrow.
All of these predictions are subject to change without notice.

Answer 9

they said on a television special once that the Psalms in the Bible correlate to things that have happened (major floods, wars, disasters etc.) each year. There seems to be one for each year, up to 2025 (I'm pretty sure that is when it said) So, according to these people, the world will end when the Psalms end: 2025.

Answer 10

Not my world.
