What will eventually destroy Earth and us humans?

Answer 1

That's easy, our Star (a.k.a - The Sun) extinguishing will destroy Earth. It's commonly known that Stars do eventually burn it. Granted it takes BILLIONS of years, but it does happen, it's inevitable. Right before stars burn out, they have a 'grand finale' if you will, giving off solar emissions and energy's like no other time in the Star's existence. Maybe that's what biblical references talk about, when they say 'fire from the sky = Armageddon'? You can also add other events such as a massive comet, or colliding with Andromeda, which is the next closest galaxy to ours.

What will destroy Humans? Well, evolution. Humans won't be humans forever, we'll eventually evolve into something else. Like 'Aliens', we'll probably still have fingers, toes, maybe a bigger head, and bigger eyes. We'll basically be the same, but will we be 'humans'?...no.

One things for sure, Humans can't destroy the Earth. But the Earth can certainly destroy humans.

Answer 2

Where to start? A quote from The Matrix does not a philosophy make, unless you have serious problems. People are not a virus, if you look at human history without bias you'll see a different picture. Have we changed the planet? Yes. For the better? Not always but I don't see any other species working to preserve their competitors from extinction or building habitats for them or any of the other things responsible humans do. Where does this racial self-hatred come from? That's an interesting question because it seems to be more and more widespread. It reflects non-critical thinking, someone who just absorbs slogans and catch-phrases without really thinking about or examining them. We couldn't destroy the Earth if we tried, that's the most arrogant thing I've ever read. Even a nuclear winter, which would come closer than anything else we could do, would be a temporary setback to the planet. Buy green. Given the choice, most people will do it. Care for the environment. Same thing. Will the Earth destroy us? Hah. Yes, almighty Gaia will rise in her wrath and smite us down. If you happen to believe in that. It's utterly pagan and as difficult to prove as any other religious belief. Crazy storms, heatwaves, tidal waves, all the things you fear the most are part of the natural order on Earth, they've always happened. It's seen extremes that are hard to believe from being a huge steam bath to being a gigantic iceball. Do you really think we could have that much impact? Inform yourself! There is no mass extinction predicted by any well-known biologist. CO2 is good for plants and thus for food production. Melting glaciers mean more water for irrigation, not less. The rain forest has largely stabilized and vast tracks are now off-limits for cutting or similar development. At least check wiki before you post, if you don't have access to any actual scientific literature! The planet has been enormously improved over the last 30+ years but most fringe environmentalists refuse to acknowledge the slightest progress because their power is based on panic and fear. If there are real parasites in our society I'd point to them first. All they do is impede and detract, they don't build or contribute in any way. I don't mean those who want to 'tread lightly' or clean up the air and water, I'm in that group. There are some who only want to destroy our society and would be delighted if humanity became extinct and that's so dysfunctional I don't like to think about anyone mindlessly believing what these people say.

Answer 3

Honey Bees. It's been known for quite a while that most of our food supply depends on honey bees to pollinate the plants. But now honey bees are beginning to mysteriously die off. What if they are genetically programmed to only remain reproductive for a certain number of generations- and then just stop reproducing. What if they are a clock for the world? Maybe the Mayan indians knew the secrets of the Honey Bee (only 4 of thousands of books by the Mayans survive today- most of what they knew and wrote, we have no idea of). So yup, probably the Honey bees are preprogrammed to faze out by 2012, and we will start starving to death.... I'd buy a lot of spam if I were you.

Answer 4

Either, in 4 billion years the sun will burn the earth, which is pretty much a fact, or, if you want to get philosophical about it, my guess would either be religion or human's desire and affinity towards behemothic amounts of evolution towards a demigod-like existence.
Wow, this is like a ******* cheesefest, philosophy really gets the dairy running.
