I am an atheistic pantheist, I ask because I am interested in all points of view...

Pasta Gurl: How I love your optimism!

In the final analysis, we won't even be a blip on the radar scope. We're pretty much stranded on this planet. Any other atmospheres tend to kill us. We haven't been around very long. In infinite time and space, we won't even make a ripple on the pond. If humanity should somehow survive until our sun goes super nova and does us all in...I simply can't believe we have any great significance. I'm sure this will be an unpopular answer...but I suppose I can deal with that. It's not a depressing outcome for me. I accepted it long ago and have grown comfortable in my advancing years with the prospects of man (long term) being very limited. If you think I'm completely off my rocker....that's okay. Do your thumbs down thing and lets get on with it.

My time-line of society starting in 2010:
2010: America, still at war in the middle east beckons the help of the English and developed African countries. Iran, Iraq and others enlist the help of Germany, Poland and other countries.
2015: World War III begins with a nuclear strike on a major American or English city.
2030: The Third World War will have been raging on for fifteen years, the longest World War to date. The threat of biological warfare will have people walking scared for their lives during daily commute.
2050: More biological and nuclear attacks urge the fighting to continue, mostly on Middle Eastern soil, millions of casualties create urge to stop the war.
2100: The third World War officially ends after the signing of a treaty. The scars from World World III are still present in the middle east, England, and America with radiation and biological poison.
2200: The treaty fails to uphold and the world is driven into a nuclear winter, humanity as we know it comes to an end, those that survive have nothing but nature to support them now.
2210: The last of the survivors die out from battle and elements. The last animals die out and the earth is a barren wasteland for the rest of her days.
5200: Three thousand years after the absolute fall of man the Earth is swallowed by the sun.
I believe that human race will destroy itself.

I believe it is our destiny to spread the seed of life to the barren worlds and moons of the cosmos. Contrary to the "gloom-and-doom" sayers (both theist and non-theist), our species is just getting started. We're just taking our first, faltering steps into the great unknown. Our adventure is only just beginning and our destiny awaits us among the billions of tiny lights in the sky.

I don't know, I hope that at some point humanity will realize that we do not exist for the whims of gods. Those ancient beliefs will find their home finally, with the rest of mythology.
We have lots to learn and plenty of work to do in order to repair the damage done by thousands of years of self hate and superstition.

To have most of the population incinerated in a nuclear holocaust. Those that survive will live in a poisoned world that will be like the dark ages.

The destiny of man is self-destruction, and this will continue to be so until knowledge reverses the effect.

The destiny of humanity is to glorify God. God's desires for us to glorify his graciousness by receiving the forgiveness of sins, but perhaps most will rather glorify his judicial nature and holiness.

Heaven or Hell. Those who think they will just return to dust no consequences for not honoring the God who made them are in for a surprise when they have to stand before him. They will have to account for every idle word they spoke against him..every time they mocked him. It will be too late for them then. You can't say I'm sorry after you die. You can't repent. You will be judged not worthy to have eternal life and face a second death...only this death will not be as peaceful as the first death.

To procreate and die. Anything else that is mentioned is only so that humans can believe that their is something more. Sort like a life long pep talk.
Then again, I am not a nonbeliever.
