    I believe the world will end with a catastrophic world war where every country is fighting for themselves and there are no allies after there is a severe shortage of something.

    I don't know why but for some reason I've always wondered about the end of the world.

    The Utah Jazz will win the NBA Finals and the devil will arise from the Bermuda Triangle with his minions and destroy the Earth.

    Save the world! Don't ever let the Jazz Win!

    The world will end if:
    -Vanderbilt wins the SEC Championship and Baylor takes the Big 12 crown.
    -The Clips win the NBA championship
    -A Democrat comes along who supports tax cuts and wants to cut govt. spending other than defense.
    -Texas ever beats Oklahoma under Bob Stoops. The song that fits the Stoops/Texas relationship is the Rolling Stones "Under My Thumb."
    -When Republicans actually grow some balls and quit being led around by the Democrats.

    In that case, it will be:

    Do you actually think we'll make it that far? I've heard that the sun will last another 5 billion years.

    A large, planet killing meteroite or comet that would have been prevented if we had surged into space and developed our technology quickly enough to discover and find the means to push them away from the path that leads to our destruction. I just hope it doesn't happen when my kids and any grandchildren and great-grandchildren we might have are around. Right now, that's the best I can hope for... that and some luck.

    You didn't say the end of civilization. He’s right, the only thing that will take the earth out is super nova. :D

    Barring any acts of supreme beings, I don't think our species or civilization will ever let itself completely die out.

    Oh when the world ends
    Collect your things
    You’re coming with me
    When the world ends
    You tuckle up yourself with me
    Watch it as the stars disappear to nothing
    The day the world is over
    We’ll be lying in bed

    I’m gonna rock you like a baby when the cities fall
    We will rise as the building’s crumble
    Midst the burning we’ll be churning
    Love will be our wings
    Passion rises from the ashes
    When the world ends

    When the world ends
    You’re gonna come with me
    We’re gonna be crazy like a river bends
    We’re gonna float through the criss cross of the mountains
    Watch them fade to nothin
    When the world ends
    You know that’s what’s happenin now
    I’m gonna be there with you somehow
    Ah ha

    I’, gonna tie you up like a baby in the carriage car
    Your legs don’t work cause you want me so
    You just lie spread to the wall
    Love you got is surely all the love I would ever need
    I’m gonna take you by my side and love you tall till the world ends

    Ohhhhhhhhh
    But don’t you worry about a thing
    No cause I got you here with me
    Mmmmmmm
    Don’t you worry about a
    Just you and me
    Floating through the empty empty
    Just you and me
    Oh graces
    Oh grace

    Oh when the world ends
    We’ll be burning one Ah
    When the world ends
    We’ll be sweet makin love
    Oh you know when the world ends
    I’m gonna take you aside and say
    Let’s watch it fade away fade away

    The worlds done
    Ours just begun
    Ours just begun

    We’re gonna dive into the emptiness
    We be swimming
    I’m gonna walk you through the pathless roads
    I’m gonna take you to the top of the mountain that’s no longer there
    I’m gonna take you to bed and love you I swear like the end is here

    I’m gonna take you up to
    I’m gonna take you down on you
    I’m gonna hold you like an angel

    I’m gonna love you
    I’m gonna love you
    When the world ends
    I’m gonna hold you
    When the world is over
    We’ll just be beg...

    I think civilization as we know it will end when we come into contact with E.T.I.L., especially if they are hostile. There is nothing that will bring people together like a common adversary. Once we are dealing in some way with societies from other planets and/or star systems, the people of Earth will probably function as a single governmental unit.

    And here we have an example of the symbolic language used in apocolyptic literature.

    The world will end with the 2nd coming of Christ, judgement day, that sort of thing, which my friend said is going to come if the Red Sox meet the Cubs in the series. (He hates both teams) Gotta admit that would be pretty cool. I need to go to confession just in case it does happen. (or I get hit by a car). ;)

    i wouldnt hold my breath on any of that ever happening :)

    here are some realistic options:

    a) massive meteorite
    b) our sun dying
    c) alien extermination

    With the Y2K bug. All the computers will shut down because they can't read the year 2000, oh wait.

    Seriously, not counting specific religious beliefs, this question is just to large to even contemplate. To many possibilities.

    Did anyone else see Jesus sitting behind home plate in game 3? Seriously, there was this guy who looked like the stereotypical representation of Jesus right there at Fenway. He was rooting for the Yankees.

    Creepy. :D

    It won't until the Sun engulfs it in about 4.5 billion years.
