End of the world? or end of humanity?

Your choice. We need an edit.

lol That's been discussed, good reasons for an against an edit button, check the blog (i think thats where that discussion was...might have been another question)

I think that the end of the human species could be coming in the next 200 years or so (if we don't change how we are now). As far as our world, I'm confident that the earth will probably be around for a long time. Until the sun burns out, or a big meteor chunk smashes it to bits.

I agree with perchik

The world itself is certain to last for several hundred million years at least, several billion if something cataclysmically horrible doesn't happen.

For human civilization, I can see the end of what we regard as civilization becoming extinct in the next hundred years, not the human race itself...

2012, December I forget the day but that's is what the Mayan calendar says. Granted not the end per se but a dramatic change that changes the world as we know it.

@zero, The Mayan date is either December 21 or December 23, depending on who you ask

I too have heard the Mayan prediction of 12/21/12, and there are websites galore about the theory. But if they had the answers, wouldn't they still be around to witness it?

Kinda hard for the Mayan people to avoid being slaughtered by those pesky explorers... Knowledge really can't protect you against lots of men with guns.

I don’t know but the world may still be here after were gone.

The real question is will it be an inside job? . :)

After watching the events of 9/11, the death and turmoil as well as the ensuing events fueled by it give cause to wonder if we’ll destroy ourselves.

Then in one fell swoop an earth quake causes a tsunami and over 100.000 are dead in one day.

Maybe the Mayan’s aren’t really gone after all, Maybe their just waiting for Ron Paul to be re elected in 2012 then they’ll exact their revenge, for all this worlds done to them.

I don’t know, but I’ll ask Jessica Alba that when I pick her up in my Maserati for our extended six month desert island vacation, catered by spago.
