The Earth is already living on borrowed time. Consider this:\n\nWe're overdue for an E.L.E.* caused by an earth-crossing asteroid.  Geologic evidence point to massive bombardments every 12 million years or so, the last big hit was about 11-12 million years.  It is not only highly probable, but an astromonical surety that someday we will again face this threat. Few people realize how many close calls we have had in that last couple of decades.\n\nThen there's the threat of emerging pandemic viruses that might wipe out a great majority of mankind.  Or a disease which bould wipe out our crops or food and animals.  There is the threat of ecological disaster, which the geological records shows happens in cycles of hundreds of thousands of years. We may be plunged into another Ice Age or face massive global warming.\n\nAnd lets not forget the destruction we bring on ourselves from nuclear weapons.  Guess how many times since 1950 that we've been a hair's breath away from utter destruction?  False alarms and warnings, and tensions number around 20+, and these are just the public ones we know about.  Even in post-Cold War era there was that 1995 incident in Russia, and i could go on.\n\nMy point is, the Universe is a hostile place and we have only scratched the surface of how improbable our continued existence is, according to the odds.  We have beaten the odds, but probability has a way of catching uyp to you.

When will the world get over sadness, who knows I don't and even god's world has sadness. After peace comes war.\nWrong category though or you didn't finish your question??\nThe world will get over! Grammar, are you foreign or young.\nLike the world will finish time is a better sentence:\nWhen the world end? Now that's the spirit.\nThe Earth may die but the world will live on even if it is on fire or is melted or smashed to bits. It will just change form and habitat!\nBut even if I did know the future someone could change that by setting a ray gun on the Earth!\nYes but a meteor could destroy the Earth, or aliens, or you, or me, or santa, or god, or moslem, or faith, or space debris or spacetime or a black hole or the Earth explodes or the sun blows, I don't care I will be dead by then.

Don't worry when the world will end. Everybody's own world ends when they die. They have been saying this for a long time...that it's really coming soon. But did it ever end? Not yet. So it's quite a waste of time being scared about it. You'll probably die ahead of the end of the world.

I believe it's predicted by the Mayan calendar in December of 2012 the world will end.  Hopefully it won't though.  *crosses fingers*

I don't know. This is why the world will end, because people are greedy, then someguy tired of greed is gonna put it all to an end. Talk about "Calm Like A Bomb" by Rage Against The Machine.

I didn't go to any of your links.  I chose to believe that we are in the end times simply because of Bible prophecy and the Book of Revelation.   God has come close to the hour of closing this chapter on earth.  No one knows the exact hour or day, but I believe it is sooner rather than later.

No one is able to predict the exact time or date of the Worlds' end, but how and why has been known for nearly 2000 years.\nWhen Jesus Christ comes to judge the wicked and reward the righteous is when the world as we know it will end.\nI say, the sooner the better, because this world is a junkyard, and the new one is gonna be great!

I think weve been heading to the end times since Jesus was on Earth. Everyone since then thought they were living in the end times, just like some now do, so thats nothing new. i dont think weve been living it this whole time, but rather living in what proceeds it. Hope that makes sense.

I don't think the world..., as in earth will never end unless it gets sucked into a black hole..., as for life..., we have a good billion years yet before our sun get too hot then it won't be able to sustain life... As for the species homo sapiens..., we haven't reached our peak yet in the bell curve..., and when that happens..., our population will drop..., big time..., would it be enough to eliminate our species???, fair chance because we are very dependent on technology to survive...\n\nSo what year..., my guess would be in 10 years..., 2016... and I predict by a super virus that can jump from host to host in a blink of an eye...\n\nbut who knows...

Noone knows when or how the world is going to end.  That is all up to God.  Only He knows.

Of course, we're heading to the end of the world...in a few billion years, when the sun expands and consumes our planet along with the other inner planets. All life on this planet will be extinguished well before that happens. However, human beings may very well extinguish their civilization and themselves sometime in the next few centuries. The problem is not the science. Of course, many well-respected scientists have been speaking out on the problems humanity faces. While some, like James Lovelock, may think we have already passed the point of no return; other scientists argue that we are still within a narrow window of opportunity to halt and perhaps even reverse the destructive policies and technologies that are presently damaging the environment. \n\nThe real problem is humanity, its cultures, and its governments. Most people around the world still hold a world view based upon ideas that were held to be valid back in the Stone Age... many people even believe that some supernatural agency will rescue humanity and clean up the world as soon as things have gotten as bad as they can get. Meanwhile, most governments base their decisions upon corporate interests and upon national interests... thus more global problems and their solutions are pretty much ignored. Short-sightedness is the overwhelming curse of humanity and its institutions.\n\nLife will continue in one form or another on this planet, whether there are human beings there to observe said life or not.

As everyone before has stated one way or another, the world is not coming to an end, we are! The earth is not going to explode into a million pieces like on Star Wars, causing Obi Wan Kenobee a mild case of indigestion. One morning, either through fire from the sky, infectious disease, unending war, or simply being smothered by an avalanche of frogs falling from the sky (imagine the impact velocity they will have when they hit you on the head? Splat!), we simply will all be dead.\n\nSweet dreams!

I will say this now.  For years, growing up in a Christian family, I have heard of those bizarre "revelations" of the end of the world, from books about Nostradamus, to the yearly "The world is gonna end on __" issues of the supermarket tabloids.  \n\nNo mere mortal man or woman on this Earth, whether the greatest of saints or the lowliest of sinners, will EVER know when the world is going to end. \n\nIn Hell, the devil does not know, nor do any of the damned or any of the servants of Hell.  not a one. \n\nWhat about those in Heaven?  Not a single angel, human that has gone to Heaven, and not even Jesus himself knows when the end of the world will come.  \n\nOnly one knows the exact year, month, day, hour, minute, and second that the end will come.  And that is God alone.\n\nThose people that you see walking the street, "shouting the end is coming," they are only human.  Unless they are God in human form, they don't know anything.  \n\nYes there will be wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, and natural disasters.  But they have existed since the beginning of civilization.  \nThere will always be war, and earthquakes, and etc.  The end of the world can happen on a "normal" day on this planet, when we least expect it.  \n\nRemember, it will happen as quick as a twinkling of an eye, and will come as a thief in the night.  \nAnd we will not know when that will be.  could be the millisecond after you read this, could be tomorrow, or in 10 years...\n\nas humans, we do not know, and will never know, until it actually comes.\n\nSo get right with God, and be ready.

I personally am not worried about it.\nMy children and I will be in a better place if it does.\nWe still have not, however, reached the end.\nIf you consult the Bible, you will see that all is not played out.\nThe fanatics are always wanting to stir things up.\nI have been hearing the 'end of the world' bit since I was a little girl.\nI am 35 :-)\nIt will happen when it happens.\nJust make sure you are right with yourself, your life, and God.
