Will the World End? (Part 1)

Will there be an end of the world? Will the earth blow up the way many speculate? Will approximately 6.6 billion people on earth be destroyed in a very small time frame due to nuclear warfare, neutron bombs, dirty bombs, or something worse?

The answer to this question depends on who you put your faith in.

[Making_Sense [Rob W. Case]]

Folks, I recommend to everyone who reads this, or whoever this speaks to to get this out to friends, family, and acquaintances via e-mails, or what have you. The concept about the end of the world is interesting, especially at this particular point in time, but is it true, is it going to happen? This article will either provoke thought, or spark a challenge. Either way, it is designed to take the power of its message away from those who try to exploit the concept for personal gain, as well as to provide context to the subject at hand.

I thank God every day my career as an astro-physicist

Seems the "World's Greatest Scientists" forgot about the world's almost certain demise in about 5 billion years or so.

The sun will become a red giant and swell hundreds (or thousands ) of times bigger, swallowing Mercury, Venus and Earth.

Unless mankind develops the technology and energy resources to move planet Earth to a safe distance, the world will most assuredly end then.
5 billion years.
Practically tomorrow.

Very good article. Thanks for posting.

We know that the sun will eventually turn into a super nova and vaporize the earth, and then suck anything that’s left of it into the black hole that it will transform into afterward.

If humanity does not destroy itself before then, that will certainly be the end.

God does promise, however, that evil will become so great in the end times that he will have to intervene in the natural order of things or man will certainly destroy himself.

I tend to believe what God says and don’t really concern myself with it because he said he will handle it.

[yankeedame]

So, man destroying himself is the natural order of things?

I personally prefer the version of the earth blowing up and 6.6 billion people go flying into space. Just imagine the visuals................

Unless mankind develops the technology and energy resources to move planet Earth to a safe distance, the world will most assuredly end then.

And women and minorities will be worst affected.

...to move planet Earth to a safe distance....

BO/Al Gore mission. Let's start today! Tomorrow will be too late.

[trumandogz]

I must say, if I really had my pick as to how the world was going to end, I would have to go with Robots taking over.

[trumandogz]

Robots.

Make sure to buy your Robot Insurance.

There's no point acting all surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display in your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for fifty of your Earth years, so you've had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it's far too late to start making a fuss about it now.
