The world will end when Utopia begins.
It can never happen, and I think the world does not want it to.

[PrinceAlbert]

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee - hawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!

meteoriods, comets, tsuanmi, hurricane, earthquake, volcanic eruption, fire, global warming, nuclear war, disease, Big Bang, plague...

umm, it's happening right now! LMFAO.

So the End of the World must be worse than all of these.. hahahahahahhaahahhaahhahahahahhahaha, shlt.

[Tangled Web]

If we continue on the path that we are on, man will end up destroying the earth through global warming. Before we are completely wiped out by that, I think God will put us out of our misery and it'll go as it was written.

[ShadowBoxing]

The sun as part of it's lifecycle will expand into a red giant in about 5 Billion years. The earth will probably be engulfed at this point, although some scientists believe that the decrease in the sun's gravity will enable the earth to escape. However the earth will be scorched beyond any habitability.

After that the sun will eventually turn into a white dwarf and earth and the other planets orbits will expand further...jetisonning off into space.

[Tsunulia]

It will end exactly how the Bible describes it.

[Mr. Credible]

i'm going to go with viruses.

we already (supposedly, if you buy into the conspiracy) have the cure to aids, and other sicknesses, and it won't be released... because corporate america can make more money from treating it than from curing it... so it stands to reason that one day, they'll pull the same schtick, only it'll get out of hand, and everyone'll die from some mutated form of airborn aids... or herpes... or zombie-ism... or some new thing no one's ever heard of.

Many times when creatures and events are referenced, they stand for people and places. For instance a prophecy from the book of Daniel (http://www.patmospapers.com/daniel/dan7.htm).

not Metorite Impact or Ice Age, simply because while it might end Human life on the planet the world itself will continue and something else will evolve to take our place.

In fact, a number of the options fall in that category. Even Global Warming will not kill all life on the planet. Ocean dwelling creatures will probably survive.

Very good poll,there were tons of options to choose from.Some caught my eye like "Mass Insanity" or "Willful Self-Destruction"

I picked Robots inherting the earth,climate change,destroyed by god,climate change,war to end all wars,thinning of the ozone layer,meteroite impact,earth going off its axis and ice age.

And then the rich people will kill us all in a very elaborate thought out plot, killing billions on earth while a small percentage, about 500 people, survive in a fallout shelter in an undisclosed location.

Leaving all of us, this website, and our dreams rendered useless by crazed maniacs with too much money and time on their hands.

[Spider-Bite]

I believe the triggering factors are all happening right now to cause the end of the world. It's starting with this conflict in the middle east right now.

The United States is already selling arms to Israel, who is at war with Helzbollah, who is receiving funds from Iran and Syria our other enemies, who border Iraq. Helzbollah has sleeper cells in the United States.

They might commit an act of terror out of anger over our selling arms to Israel, which could pull us into this conflict.

or we might just get involved anyways. but as soon as we get dragged into this conflict World War 3 will ignite. Korea will see this as the opportunity when we are most vulnerable and they will try to conquer South Korea. So while we are at war with Helzbollah, Alquida, Iran, Syria, and Iraq, we will also try to stop North Korea from invading South Korea, and a huge nuclear power will be involved in this new world war. China will see this as an opportunity to take over Taiwain, and then we will be at war with them.

Japan, Europe will get dragged into this to try and stop us from being annihilated. pakistan will probably come to our aid as well, who also has Nuclear Weapons. Iran, U.S., China, and North Korea will all go nuclear and we will either all be dead or close to it. That might be when muslim extremists take the chance to fullfill prophecies from revelations and try to commit an act of terror that brings about the end of the world.

[Spider-Bite]

Imagine a virus. that is ariborne. if a person who has it touches something, and you touch it ten minutes later you get it.

you don't get even one symptom untill 8 years later when you fall over dead. terrorists inject themselves with it and walk through crowded airports coughing. they visit grocery stores and slobber their hand and then finger up all the produce.

If nobody knows it exists, then it could easily spread to the entire human race before we even know what hit us. if terrorists had this they could easily spread it to the entire human race within a few weeks, which means by the time we know it exists there wouldn't be enough time left to find a cure. not to mention as soon as we did know it exists there would be panick, and a total breakdown of civilized life, which would make the impossible task of curing it quickly even more impossible.

The problem with your theory is that even terrorists want someone to survive their attacks... There own people/race/religion. They do not want to destroy all life on earth.

It is far more likely that such a virus will accidentally escape a lab. (In fact, that's where I believe HIV started. A secret lab trying to invent a virus that goofed up in their "clean up" policies)

)

not neccessarily. while it's true that Hezbollah's militia or Alquida don't want the end of the world, a lot of religous fanatics do. They believe that some type of religous icon will return in the last day and bring them to heaven.

I used to donate plasma once a week, and I got to know a guy who worked there who grew up in the middle east. He will never go back, and he despises religion, but he also knew that an awful lot of people where he came from prayed every day for the end of the world. He said they were suffering so much, that the thought of dying was worht it when told you would be whisked away to heaven. He also said they were all crazy.

But a lot of people want the world to end soon, and they might take drastic measures to make it happen. and it might not be too difficult to recruit people to help, by promising them a higher place in heaven for making it happen.

A year ago I actually heard on the news about a christain group of terrorists who are aiming to create the end of the world. I can't remember what they were called though. They said that are goverment is aware of them, but our government doesn't consider them to be much of a threat because their intelligence suggests that this group is very small, weak, underfinanced, without support, and incapable of making it happen.

[Spider-Bite]

notice in this saudi text book how it talks about the final hour of judgement. here is a quote.


<LI class=textBodyBlack>Jews and Christians are "enemies" of Muslims. <LI class=textBodyBlack>Every religion other than Islam is "false."
"The hour [of Judgment] will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them."
It sounds like they want that hour of judgement to come. here is the link.

Either that, or when the next comet/asteroid hits the earth.

Or, when the Earth continues it's cycle into the next Ice Age (though, by that time, we'll probably be advanced enough to live it out)

Or, when the Sun implodes (Several billion years away)

Or, when the Big Bang completes it's cycle and pulls all matter back into the center of the universe before it explodes outwards again in a continuous cycle. (Estimation: Several billion years)

the last one is just one possible outcome for the universe. it's possible that it could keep expanding forever, or it could just stop expanding and come to a standstill. and if we were still alive back then we would probably have the technological means to escape to another universe. I say that absolutely will not be the cuase of our demise. our extinction will be soon, within my lifetime, I believe or, it wont happen at all and world peace will exist instead.

World peace will never exist. This world has been in a state of strife for thousands of years. Just because the world is STILL in a state of strife in our lifetime doesn't mean bullcrap. This is normal human behavior.. and I can't see it ceasing all existence.

Peace is never going to happen. End of story. As long as people are different and hold different views, we will always be at war with each other. May it be personal conflicts or widescale battles. This is nothing new.. and we will live through it as always.

The world will end when it's engulfed by our sun turning into a red giant, some five billion years from now.
Humanity will probably end as a result of a major catastrophic ecological collapse due to overpopulation problems, or large scale global climate change.

a lot of us think that our carbon dioxide emmissions will cause a massive climate change, but most likely nuclear war will simply cause a nuclear winter.

A huge meteor strike is stronger than any amount of nukes and earth already survived that. Only nature can come up with anything close enough to end the world.

[Spider-Bite]

It's possible that by placing nuclear bombs of the right strength at the precise locations, and simultaneously detonating them you could sent the earth hurtling towards the sun, or farther away from it.

[Alpha and Omega]

I think the earth will eventually make some sort of resurgence, but I'm sure that most of the human race will die off. They(we) really have no one to blame but them(our)selves.

[The Cajun]

I reckon Robots will eventually kill off the human race and inhabit the earth.:o

[The Last Meatbag]

I still love my theory :O

[Knightsaber Priss]

Wel, quite basically humanity will ravage this world, it's nuclear weapons irradiating the atmosphere causing living conditions to become nigh existent. All of humanity will die out and the Earth will be nothing but a dead, barren world. Hopefully by then the more enlightened human beings will have found interstellar aid and re-situated somewhere else.

[Kessel Day]

God will destroy the wicked and the meek will transform the earth into a paradise.

so my answer is: the earth isn't destroyed at all.

hullo Godzilla, it's been a long time since i saw your 50 feet of wondercritter. :)

[Topdawg]

God will end the world.

The sun will burn this planet back into the Dark Age. Everyone will die and the Reptilians take over the world.

[FRUITY]

My soldiers of emoticons and male concubines would start a hostile world domination and it would cause a major uproar amongst the civilians and then the emoticons would melt on us due to heat sensitivity and burn us to death however some of the male concubines would survive along with newwaveboy87 and start their own colony with the talking cockroaches.:confused:

[J. J. Jameson]

Lots of giant fried eggs will fall on the earth. The mystic hunters of space will smell the aroma and will devour earth.









That, or GALACTUS!!!

some scientists say it's possible that Venus will naturally become like earth one day. I think maybe we should start storing something for them to find so they can learn from our history when they discover it and not make the same mistakes as a species that we have made since we wont be around to tell him about it. they would eventually come here exploring and discover ancient cities, and know all about us.

"Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"

[The Spawn]

A lot of possibilities overlooked in my poll....

Jimmy Page will consume our souls and transmutate this earthly existence into a heaven like universe of peace and fulfillment.
