yes.
The chances of our black hole in the center of the milk way pulling earth into its death grip are slim to none.
unless matter hits the event horizon, its left in a safe zone, but still swirls around safely.
BUT
Andromeda galaxy is expected to hit us in 3 billion years.
after 500 million we'll see if Andromeda stirs our galaxy and kick earth into its even horizon (or the monster in the milky way's event horizon) and destroy us.

but the possibility DOES exist

maybe, this is unknowable
theres no nearby black holes and they do move.
maybe long after the destruction of mankind
the sun will never become a black hole because its not massive enough
there is a better chance that earth will be swallowed by the sun in the process of becoming a red giant

We can't be for sure, but there is a possibility .
If a black is approaching earth, scientists would know it decades before hand. And that time they would be able to give the exact time and date when the black would be close enough to suck us inside.
And yes, according to Stephen Hawking black holes do move around.

No, there is no black hole in the region of the solar system, and even if the sun becomes a black hole the Earth's orbit will not be altered.

the version in gravity between the "the front" fringe of the Earth crossing the shape horizon and the "back" fringe of earth would reason the planet to be ripped aside, actually. yet before that befell, the gravity from the black hollow would in all probability pull something no longer secured down into it off of the floor of the earth, which includes the ambience and organisms. It relies upon on how straight away we are coming near, etc, in spite of the indisputable fact that the bottom line is lack of life and destruction, and finally including slightly count number to a black hollow.

Quite frankly the chances are quite high but there are many other things that could happen...being hit by space debris...engulfed by the death of the sun.....the earths core dying..( I don't think that is likely though)...solar wind......and so on...

So you have some incriminating evidence and that would a handy way to dispose of it?
