Who knows? And anyone who says they do isn't playing with a full deck.

We'll probably doom ourselves off before that planet killing asteroid hits us, before the consequences of global warming are in full swing, before the super volcanoes erupts and surely before our sun supernovas.

The detonation of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons that now sit quietly, inconspicuously, in missile silos, submarines and long-range bombers, faithful servants awaiting orders would bring the end of the human species.

The World Health Organization concludes that 1.1 billion people would be killed outright in such a nuclear war, mainly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. An additional 1.1 billion people would suffer serious injurles and radiation sickness. This would represent by far the greatest disaster in the history of the human species and, with no other adverse effects, would probably be enough to reduce at least the Northern Hemisphere to a state of prolonged agony and barbarism.

The nuclear winter that Carl Sagan spoke about would eventually spread to the Southern Hemisphere, killing all plant and animal life, and eventually mankind.

Are nukes good, the MAD doctrine kept us out of a nuclear war for 60 years, but now with rogue states and rogue leaders, the fallacy of the MAD doctrine is apparent. The weapons of peace for the last 60 years have now been turned to weapons of war. Once again we are staring into the black abyss of a nuclear holocaust.

I'll be playing Halo 2 on x-box when that initial EMP knocks out everything, that'll be my first inkling that WW III has begun and i only have minutes to be vaporized....what will you be doing?

The world is going to end eventually. Just not as soon as you think.

I'm a man of science so I'll answer with a scientific answer.

No. At least not anytime soon.

Some theories proclaim that eventually our universe's membrane and another universe's membrane and begin a brand new world.

Other theories state that the Big Bang's dispersion is still happening, with galaxies and star clusters moving farther and farther away from eachother. They continue to proclaim that once the universe has reached its limits, it will gradually reverse backwards, at first slowly and then gradually picking up speed to the point of creation.

I believe the world will end "soon" if you are reffering to the years in geological time. This is a few hundred million years because that is how much time our sun has left befroe it becomes a black hole...

no, unless u mean in geological time, inwhich 'soon' is billions of years away.....

after these billions of years are the time the Sun used up her gases and turns into a white dwarf.
not a black hole nor a neutron star because it is not a very big star compared to others.

If by soon you mean a few 100000 years, then yes, it's going to end soon. You know, the Sun will be exhausted...........

Why are you asking us mortals? Only God the Father knows the answer to your question. You might begin learning for yourself by reading of the signs of the times as indicated in scripture.

As long as a black hole doesn't mosey on by or the sun doesn't flare up or explode.

As for the human species, who knows? Odds are against us, but depends on how you define soon. Probably not in your or my lifetime. We're pretty resourceful, extremely numerous and pretty resilient.

Peace
