end of the world?

Question

how do you think the world will end?

Answer 1

God's Not Going to destroy the Earth. People are going to destrory the earth. It will most likely be nuclear War, Like the book Swan Song by Robert McCamman

Answer 2

It could be 28 minutes from now or 280 years from now. When the superpowers square off against each other in two camps, then come back and we'll talk apacolpse.

Until then, just think regional conflicts, wars between rump states, proxy wars and brinksmanship. If you recall the Yom Kippur War in 1973, a coalition of Arab States (Egypt, Syria and Jordan) were soundly defeated by the Israelis. That was a worse situation than the current conflict and it didn't raise a blip on the world war radar (not that it didn't have the potential to spark a global war).

The next World War will involve a nuclear exchange, how could it not. In the first 30 minutes, nearly a billion people will have been vaporised, mostly in the US, Russia, Europe, China and Japan. Another 1.5 billion will die shortly thereafter from radiation poisoning. The northern hemisphere will be plunged into prolonged agony and barbarity.

Eventually the nuclear winter will spread to the southern hemisphere and all plant life will die. You ask when is the apacolypse, you are asking when will we commit global suicide. My answer is it won't happen soon because the larger superpowers are more rational than the rump states in the middle east.

Our biggest risk is an accidental launch of nukes by one of the nuclear powers.

Answer 3

Science already has an answer for this one. As the sun ages over billions of years, it gradually grows warmer. In a few hundred million years, perhaps a billion, the Earth will have heated up enough to halt the carbon cycle. This means that nearly all the carbon on the surface will eventually be locked up in the form of limestone and will be unavailable for use by life forms, so that traditional life will eventually become extinct. The exceptions to this would be bacteria living deep below the surface, and any intelligent species (such as our long descendants) who can implement a technological fix.

As for mankind, I think we'll be around for quite some time. There is nothing really plausible that could wipe us out. Certainly not global warming, which even in the extreme worst-case scenarios (which themselves are not supported by the models) might reduce our numbers by a billion or two. Asteroid strike? The odds are absolutely trivial that any will hit us in the next century or so, and after that we'll have the means to divert them beforehand. Global pandemic? Humans are too genetically diverse, and there are too many of us still in remote, isolated areas of the world for a disease to wipe us all out. Plus, we have scientists who can fight back. Nuclear war? Again, highly unlikely. A full-scale nuclear exchange simply is not in the cards for the forseeable future.

So, the science says the Earth will eventually end, but I think by then mankind (or whatever we'll have evolved into by then) will have branched out into space, and once that happens, we'll have become too big and spread out to go extinct from any reason.

Answer 4

ah, one can never know

a poem by robert frost

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Answer 5

The sun is going to implode and end up burning us up just like science has observed with other actual planets who didn't abide by books of revelation but were enveloped and scorched by their stars.
It's science, I love it... i won't be here for it... but I love it!

Answer 6

our sun will go to a red giant in many billions of years engulfing us in fire and brimstone just as predicted in revelations ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhh

Answer 7

I know actually & it will only end as we know it. Armageddon, Jesus reigns. Revelation in God's word, the bible. ♥

Answer 8

Read the Bible, it tells ya.

Answer 9

anything except for flooding, which is why global warming won't work. idk, how God wants it to end.
