Okay , my question is , How many people believe that we are going to be taken out of the world before ...?

Does it matter what others' believe? I think that too much time is spent wondering what others' think. I see the wind, but I know it's there.\nTalk to your parents to gain some insight. it's a good way to communicate with them.

I think it very likely that some people will survive.  We have a great track record of tolerating and adapting to some pretty extreme conditions.  I expect there are some secret hideaways that would even allow a few folks to survive a "nuclear winter" scenario, and start repopulating without the technology.  Obviously, any less serious scenario will allow even more flexibility for means of survival.  Right now, today, I do not believe there is a practical possibility of more than two nuclear devices being detonated -- those few who might be otherworldly enough to use them do not, praise Allah and thank God, have the means to use more.  The tragic military, political, economic, and environmental consequences would immediately and eventually kill tens of millions of people, perhaps hundreds of millions, and alter the conditions of life for the billions remaining..  but "billions remaining" is a great lot of survivors to be tolerating and adapting to conditions.  We'll manage.

I think there is a new world coming, I call it the future. I don't know if it will be better or worse than the world we have now. Bush will be out of office soon; that's one bright spot. I'm inclined to think it will be worse simply because there will be more people around in the future, and that can only spell trouble. As for what I'm doing to make it better...not much. I am trying not curse around children as often, I guess that's something.

Which 'end of the world' talk? Personally, I'm annoyed by all the 'blue sky' people who think that "someone will save us". There are a lot of bad things going on in the world right now, and most of them involve people not paying attention to what their neighbors, their bosses, their government, and their children are doing with the resources which will be needed in the future by whoever is left after the wars, diseases, and starvation get done, not to mention climate changes. The blind faith in 'systems of failed systems', growth economics, religious happiness, and voluntary ignorance is leading our species down a path of self-consumption. Is the 'world' going to end? Probably not, but TWAWKI (the world as we know it) will be changing drastically. Expecting things to stay the way they are or get better by doing what we usually do is kind of, well, "Life for Dummies."\nIf you aren't outraged, you aren't paying attention.

Absolutely. \n\nIt's where our future lies, whether we render this planet inhospitible by ourselves or through some natural disaster, that's where we'll have to go.

Sadly, I believe we probably will bring about the end of all things we know and love (or hate!). I think it's high time that we stop trying to "out-succeed" our fellow human beings and remember what life is truly about- treating others the way we ourselves want to be treated. I HOPE THAT SOMEDAY, WE, AS HUMAN BEINGS, WILL FINALLY LEARN TO LOVE, ACCEPT AND RESPECT EACH OTHER-- and to realize that we are really all the same on the inside. Perpetuate the love! (By the way- I'm really not what others would consider "A tree-hugging hippie"! I just want people to spread more kindness & goodness around them.)

It wont happen in an instant. World will find ways out much before things get outta hands. So stop worrying.

It happens in the realm of science fiction (Babylon 5 or Star Trek), but in reality, I doubt it.  Revelations says so, sure, but as one professor at my college put it: "We're eventually heading in that direction, but we'll probably wipe each other out before we actually accomplish that".

Yes.  The sun will blow up in about 4.5 billion years, taking the earth with it.  Odds are humans will have been gone long before that though.

By then most people will agree that mankind will not be around. That is not the pessimists but now the optimists too. The question is how will this eventual demise arise? That will determine what the state of of the Earth will be in 1000 years. If the 'War on Terror' ends in nuclear holocaust then the Earth will be a barren land much similar to Mars is today. If global warming catches up with us then we will be in the middle of another Ice Age.\nThe alternative is that we humans, against all odds, do survive. In that case we will be living in a civilisation that is either as close to total anarchy as we can get without destroying ourselves or we will be in totalitarian state of control. Either way the future was stolen from our hands a long long time ago.

In the back of our minds I think we are all concerned by potential alien invasion. We are advancing technology as fast as possible to meet the threat. For more reading on this, go to my question about what George Bush would do if we were invaded.

Damn- I just erased my entire answer. So short version: Mayans say 2012, End of Days is 2010, Nostradamus says 3000 something. Planet isn't going anywhere unless someone (*cough cough* Bush) does something really stupid. Society can't last the way it is "somethings gotta give" All this crap that is happening is just the planets way of trying to get our attention. If pop. continues to grow, some kind of natural pop. control will break out (aka. Avian Flu, Smallpox) or more likely one will be released as a bio. weapon.  I swear my first answer was better.

This very well may be the start.  If it is, there will be annihilation beyond comprehension. There will be a few survivors in remote areas who will repopulate the earth.\n\nThat is; after the earth heals itself.

Yes and the time is growing near....not by our timezone, but near nevertheless.  The 2nd Coming of Jesus will be Judgement Day and He will judge us then and there.  No time to make amends at that time....so it is always good to be ready now as we don't know when He will return.  He will return after this World of ours continues on the destructive course we are on and totally destroys itself.  The Bible and all of the Prophets have predicted exactly what is happening in our world right now.  Starting with immorality, the present Government situation with Bush as our leader, the Middle East, more and more natural disasters (Hurricanes, Tsunamis, deadly mudslides, etc.)  I wish the world would wake up and see what we are doing to ourselves.  I fear for the people who are in charge of the countries and where their destiny lies!

The world would come together in panic ... "Where the &*^^ did the US go?"  Conspiracy theorys would abound.  Tensions would be high - no one would trust anyone else.  Did an experiment go wrong?  Did one country develope an incredible weapon?  Are the aliens finally attacking?  Did God decide simply to wipe them off the face of the earth?  Different groups would claim responsibility -- most of them groups no one has ever heard of.  And all over this great world, there would be office pools involving which country would disappear next.  (My money would be on Akrotiri - but really, if they disappeared, who'd notice?)

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)

This isn't the first "End of Times" panic!  The ignorant masses are swept into a fervour by their spiritual leaders.  I believe this is a corrosive factor in humanity.  Whether it is religious rapture or Y2K, far too many people are just plain gullible.   What I see isn't really the end of times but a renewal of the dark ages.  Those in the dark remain in the dark and teach their kids there is no light.  The emergence of highly respected American Evangelist Zealots is very very disturbing and is leading to a new flat earth that the universe revolves around.
