End of the World:Is it Near? - Page 6

Well don't they say the world was going to end every few years?

If the world end any time soon (say 100-100) years then nobody here willbe there to see it. Its not going to be less than that unfortunately, all of the theories stated have their faults and so none can be flly believed.

But something that you should concern youreslf with is, yes you guessed it, oil. After that goes we are so screwed in every way possible. Unless somebody finds something else we can use... But my advice is to become an organic farmer. And forget technology (well maybe not yet), if what i say (well what all those crazy scientists or whoever they are say) happens you'll be better pff, because you will be self sufficient and you're skills will be in high demand

Thats whats gonna happen, now believe it.

Thats an interesting view point. Wouldnt it be better if oil does not run out, instead we have finally replaced it before it does? Like in 10-20 years or so.

Well I think humanity is just going to end by some stupid accident, but thats just me. I'm not really sure what to believe, but if I remember correctly there were also religious groups claiming the world was going to end at the year 2000.... and here we are, six years later. Maybe the world is going to end, maybe its not. I'd rather not think about such horrible thoughts.

I'm not particularly religious, but I've always just assumed that "the world will end in fire" and "we will die for our sins" was just a clever way of saying, "we will die from our own undoing" or in other words we are going to end up killing ourselves, in a war... or "the fire".

I do find it interesting that the so-called "bible codes" and the mayan calender predict the end of the world in the exact same year. Of course since I believe the bible codes to be a load of crock invented by liars it's not hard to concieve that they chose the mayan doomsday as the biblical doomsday.
I do not believe in the end times. All the disasters that have occured lately are not even our doing, as much as people wanna believe it's global warming. Science shows us that the planet earth goes through cycles like this every once in a while. We are merely caught in one of these cycles. About 5 years from now it will all blow over.
No man may predict the future. The evangelicals are just radical wackjob christians. I know, I was forced to go to one of their churches for about a year before I got so sick of the preachers crooked swindling that I threw a fit till my folks changed churches. Thank god for that or I'd have to listen to people pretend to speak in tongues and more people pretend to translate it into some message "from god" about the coming of the end times or some other obscure bullshit.

Try every year. Do you know how many peole have actually said that to me and 'suggest' that I must repent and join what basically is a cult or seek my god etc? That pisses me off because they pick and choose who they wish to 'save' rather than 'care for all of God's children'.

Anyway, in terms of the end of the earth, no it's not ending any time soon - naturally anyway. It'll go super-nova in a few billion years.

In terms of the human race, or civilisation as we know it becoming extinct? Well eventually. We as a race tend to spawn people who just can't help but drive us all into war and as a whole, we're killing off all of our natural resources. Not to mention evolution - the DNA chain would tecnically cease to be deemed human. Then of course, there's natural causes - some comet, or something.

As far as the end of the human race, I'm putting my money on an asteroid.

The end of the existence of planet earth: the sun will evolve into a red giant, engulf the inner planets, and then shrink down into a white dwarf.

The "end" of the universe will be dictated by the second law of thermodynamics. Although the universe will never stop existing, all energy will become evenly distributed among all matter, and all matter will become evenly spread out. Because of random dipole moments, the evenly distributed matter will eventually coagulate together into an infinitely dense mass, (gravitational singularity). The Big Bang will then repeat itself.

Expand, Condense, Repeat.

As for it being near... #1 can happen today, #2 will probably happen in 5.5 billion years, and #3 we don't have to worry about.
