End Of The World?

[Starry Di]

Kinda morbid title, I know, laugh. This may be in the wrong forum, and if it is, I apologise :$ I was just wondering, is there any common sign about the world ending through all religions? :S And, how do you think the world is going to end? :$

Me is thinking that it's starting its end now...or has been starting it for a while........

[Earthcup]

The earth is going to be around a very long time, at least a few million years. The life on it? Who knows?

I don't believe in an apocalypse. Life always finds a way. Life will go on.

[Eeluna]

People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years. They're always wrong, and they always push the time back a little further. I don't believe in apocalypses either. I realize that humans have the ability to destroy themselves with modern technology--I hope they have the sense not to. However, as Earthcup says, life will go on.

An apocalyptic vision of the future is one of many, many reasons I could never accept Christianity. I do know that the Earth, like the Universe, has a natural life cycle. All things die in time and are reborn perhaps in a different shape or form.

Scientific theory says the Earth will become devoid of life when the Sun uses up most of its hydrogen and grows larger and cooler turning into a red giant. NASA states this will occur more than 5 billion years in the future. That gives humanity plenty of time to find a new home somewhere else in the Universe.

Like Eeluna said, I think the Earth will end in 5 billion years when the sun fries it.

[Myst]

I think we'll blow up the planet with nuclear weapons (or worse), or perhaps we'll be hit by another meteor, or the sun might implode or explode, or who knows what.

Death is part of life. Endings are part of the natural cycle. Will there be a rebirth? I'm sure. But I see an end first.

It depends, I suppose, what you mean by world. Do you mean the universe, the actual big chunk of molten rock we're sat on, all life on Earth, or just human life? There are different answers for each of these scenarios.

[Melysande]

Well, we are overdue for an asteroid, meteor, or comet to hit us. But other than that, I don't know.

Back in college, I remember being bored enough to look up Websites about Nostradamus. One of the sites I went to translated Nostradamus into the most outrageous things it could think of. One of those "predictions" was that they were going to remake the movie E.T. I thought that would be the one least likely to happen, so that's the one I chose to remember.

And guess what's come back to theaters, digitally remastered, with added special effects and a couple previously missing scenes?

(gulp) E.T.!

We're DOOOOOOOMED!

:p

;) Kidding. I mean, yes, what I said was all true, but I still really don't think that Nostradamus would have been using E.T. as a way to signal an apocalypse.

:shaker: uh oh....:nyah:

[Starry Di]

I mean the death of human life...I was wondering, since it's a big topic at my lunch table at school at the moment. Especially with the "War On Terrorism" (don't get me started on that (a)).

I like the sun theory (mostly because I won't be around that long to see it *lol* :D), but realisticlly, I think we will end up killing each other with weapons :o

[ChocL8GiRL]

I tend to be of the idea that of course at some point human life will end, and probably very abruptly, whether it is from our own hand or from an asteroid or anything else. It happened to the dinosaurs. Sometimes I wonder if WE would even be here at all if the dinosaurs weren't wiped out. And maybe there is some other form of life that cannot realize its full potential while WE are still here. Everything in life has a purpose, and everything in life has an end. That's the way everything around us is designed, at least on this planet. Maybe humans CAN find a way to live off of this planet, but I don't think we can live forever on THIS one.

Christians in my area say that the growth of the New Age and Pagan populations are a sign that the end is near! :eek:

Yeah, we are "False" Prophets

Basically, I think that we won't be around to see the sun theory...that will happen millions of years in the future, and, imperfect beasts that we are, we will have all evolved by that time, IMO.

[Psyche Ague]

I don't think it's going to happen soon, unless we blow it up ourselves with nuclear weapons or something similar. So I'm not concerned because I'm going to die one way or another and I can't control it. But I don't believe in any sort of apocalypse or rapture or anything. I won't be around to see it, so I'm not concerned. (Except for the blowing up the world thing which I'd like to have delayed as long as possible as I like living...)
