I can agree with that. The earth is changing. So many will not make it through but some will. \nLove & Light\nSharon\nOne Planet = One People

It will probably hit us and most of us will die.

if explosion means bursting inside out, then nope, but population explosion has already happened, and global warming has reached the point of no return, so it is scary but true that there is gonna be an end to the mankind, when? i do not know, but how? disastrous natural calamities that is for sure. do not worry, we all are gonna die, so we all will meet in the heaven, if there is one, just do ur work in this world for now

many believe that the advances in weapons technology have created a ticking time bomb that, upon detonation, will ultimately result in the destruction of the earth.\n\nif people don't do something to "end the world," the sun will eventually expand, consuming the planet.\n\nbut perhaps by that point, our world won't be limited to the earth, and we'll be indifferent to the catastrophe.

humans are part of nature, so i'm worried most about some human pushing the BIG button..... a tsunami will wipe out some people, but atomic weapons detonating all over the planet would end us all.

There is a comet that is visible now and will be passing reasonable near Earth (a few million miles away) about that time, but no, no comet is going to hit the Earth any time soon.

That is the BIG question!  When will it happen?  No one knows and there are only guesses.  Some believe it will not happen as a one big one because the Bible foretells us that it one hundred pound rocks will fall from the sky.  Scientist say we are past due for a big one to hit because the earth was hit so many millions of years ago. \n\nI do not think sitting around and worrying about it will be a productive and worthy of our attention.  When it happens it will happen.  The chance of it happening in our life-time (compared to the millions of years since the last one) is so small that it is not worth computing.  \n\nWe have plenty of people being dooms-day prophets, we need to be more optimistic and looking for how we can improve each others lives for the here and now.

Well, just by playing the odds, it's a good bet that the Earth will be destroyed some day. It's basic math.\n\nAll Hail Steven Hawking!\n-SD-\n\nROFLMAO!\n\nJust looked at the post below me.  Lets see, Christians have been saying "Very soon now." for 2000 years, and it still hasn't happened. Look on the bright side, eventually, you'll be right! Sheer happenstance is bound to end our days at some point.\n\nUnder the circumstances, "Very soon now" is the same thing as saying "7-come-11, Baby needs a new halo!".\n\n-SD-

Yes, earth is moving closer to sun every year, and eventually it will get destroyed one day. But still thousands of years are left for this to happen.

The sun will expand and engolf the Earth before it explodes.  This means we will never watch the explosion, we would burn up first, but it is not going to happen in our lifetime.

a meteor/comet or self destruction

Yes, alas, all things must eventually come to an end, especially the good things. Earth will indeed be destroyed eventually by some asteroid with our name on it. One such asteroid has been found: 99942 Apophis, which we still dont know if it will indeed strike the Earth in 2036. But, it isnt the proverbial dinosaur killer, its only 820 feet across, a peanut compared to others that have hit. But, yes, we could terraform Mars and turn it into another Earth, the way it was so many thousands of years ago. I mean, we can grow food hydroponically, create our own little magnetosphere, and create the feeling or effect of gravity. The problem with terraformation is that we have no idea how long it would take, estimates have ranged from half a decade to an amount that is not realistic. Yes, we would go there by spaceship unless the Gov. reveals its Stargate program or some other means of transport. I would assume that a large majority of people would go, but there are always gonna be the fanatics and those who would rather die where they were born. And, you cant realistically transport EVERY human off the planet unless we had many, many, many decades of warning, which we may not have. Sorry to be pessmistic about it, but the numbers just dont really work out in our favor unless we have the benefit of time. But, I would imagine that a majority of the people would make it off, because I would assume that in that realisation, costs would be waived. And imagine the chaos that would grip the globe! But its all very possible to do, we could go right now if we wanted to. And for those who didnt go... It would not look pretty. We're talking about water being flashboiled, tons and tons of rock and ash being thrown into the atmo. if the initial blast doesnt kill you the ensuing volcanic nuclear winter would. Crops would be destroyed and we've learned that nothing with a body weight of over 60 lbs made it through the last ice age. Those who stay behind... Their future would be very grim.

I don't think the science channel said it was going to hit. It said that there was a "chance" that it could hit.\nCurrently the odds are about a 1 in 300 chance of it hitting the earth on march 16 2880.\nHowever since we are talking about almost 900 years in the future it is really hard to predict the asteroids exact path.\nMany things affect the orbit of asteroids (gravity of planets, the solar wind, even the thermal emission of the asteroid itself)\nIt will take many years to measure the path of the asteroid more precisely. and then we will have a better idea of how close it is going to get.\neither way, we are talking 900 years in the future, so there is no need to panic. Even if further calculations show it will hit, we have plenty of time to come up with ways to prevent this.\nso go out lay down in the sun with a nice cool drink, soak up some rays, and worry not about such things.

Sylvia Brown says a lot of people are on their last life, meaning the world is coming to an end soon.   Just kidding.\n\n(2012 keep your fingers crossed)

NO.\nCould be end of times for humans but not for Earth.

Well, it depends on your definition of "end." Are you referring to when humans can't live here anymore? Do you mean when the planet itself is utterly disintegrated? Are you referring to a Biblical apocalypse?\n\nTo any of these conditions, no one can say. However, to the first one listed, our continued destruction of the environment continues to lead to more polluted air, ground, and water. And, while the melting of the ice caps will raise water a great deal and wipe out coastal cities and land, it certainly can't cover the entire planet. Stubborn as humans are, we'll probably find some way to survive through technology if we mess things up that badly, which would be extremely sad to have destroyed such beauty. We also might start a nuclear war that kills everything but cockroaches, but the planet itself would still be here. \n\nCondition two, where the planet is disintegrated, could be brought about by several ways, as well. A large comet, asteroid, or meteor might smash into earth, breaking it apart and causing it to no longer technically be a planet. When the sun finally goes nova (estimated to be 5 billion years away), if it reaches this far out, which his possible, it would swallow the earth, likely blowing it to bits. Then there's always the "Hitchhiker's Guide" route, where we'll be destroyed for an intergalactic highway.\n\nAs for the Bible, only the Father knows. Not even Christ knows when it'll happen. People have been incorrectly interpreting the signs for hundreds of years, so all the tabloid doomsday people are probably just as wrong now.\n\nIn short, no one can see the future, and you're right. We don't take good care of our planet. We really should appreciate it more while we still have a planet to enjoy! Who knows, tomorrow someone might throw a nuke, so go out and enjoy earth! And just in case someone doesn't start World War III, go and take care of it, too, so that generations far into the future can look back on this time and say, "Wow, look at all they did for their children and their children's children," instead of, "How on earth could they be so selfish and uncaring?"
