The question you should ask is if the end is near have I lived my life right?? Did I hurt anyone during my lifetime and if I did is it too late to say sorry.? Did I tell those closest to me how much they have meant to me ? If the end is near did I get everything that I wanted done??
Live your life well love everyone and enjoy everything.

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?

Might be. But what will kick all of us is not aliens from other planets. Instead, it is our own greed and the cause of our behavior.
Global Warming - Scientist predict that 10 years from now, the global warming will be really intolerable
Hatred between Individuals - No unity
Wars
Corruption
...
the list goes on...

Your question presumes that human salvation matters in the greater scheme of things. The planet would do just fine without us. In fact it would recover very quickly if we all ceased to exist. But being human gives me a bias I can't deny. So, in answer to your question, I hope not. Enjoy life while you can, but be nice to people. After all, if there is something after this existence, taking out a little insurance won't hurt.

Pointless question.
If the end is near, there are better things to do than worry about it.
If the end isn't near, it will be soon enough (lol)
It won't matter once it's over.

most of the population will die from a disease probably. it may even be an engineered disease, in which case we may all die. probably just some run-of-the-mill flesh liquefying disease.
