What will lead us to the end of the world?

The end of the world will be determined by leaders who ignore the fact that human beings are a species of mammal: Homo Sapiens.  The population growth rate of Homo Sapiens is exponential and will soon overpopulate planet Earth.  Since we are a species, we are subjected to the same rules that apply to something as small as ants concerning the carrying capacity of a certain biological niche.  When ants overpopulate a certain area nature kicks in and basically the four following things happen: War, disease, famine, and migration.  The same mechanisms that apply to ants apply to humans as well. \nHomo Sapiens are now engaging in warfare for dwindling fossil fuel supplies worldwide.  Homo Sapiens are now starving to death in certain parts of Africa.  Homo Sapiens are now battling disease such as AIDS, bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and a new disease such as CJD, or Mad Cow disease.  Homo Sapiens are now engaging in discussions to travel out into the universe to explore possible planets to conquor and inhabit.  As time marches on, and the population of Homo Sapiens continue to increase exponentially, the Earth's immune system will kick in, so to speak, and try to get rid of the plague of Homo Sapiens, or bring the population level down to a number that is more sustainable for the environment to handle.  Someone at some near point in time will have to play God if the population continues to grow at this unsustainable pace.\nThe sad point in this discussion is that good leaders are out there in the population, but their voices are seldom heard, and the mighty currency is ruling the planet.  I am just going to sit back and watch the inevitable decline of the Homo Sapiens species on planet Earth.

I know the world will come to an end because the bible says it will. The words of Jesus were very clear on this, the end Will come.\n\nWhen will it be? I don't think anyone alive knows, even Jesus said that no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, not even the son of man and of course not men, only his Father in heaven does.

yep worlds gunna end in 2012.  And your right the mayan calendar does predict it.  The bible code found in the old testament also gives 2012 as the date for the end of the world.

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.

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.

The end of the world is somewhat of a misconception. What most people refer to as the end of the world is more correctly the end of the age (Greek aion). It is a reference to the current world order which is under the domination of the Kingdom of Darkness under the rule of Satan and his minions. His (Satan's) government will be overthrown - he will be cast down to the Earth for a short time, manifest himself through the person and goverment of the Antichrist, and then be defeated and bound for a thousand years (the millennial reign of Christ) After that he (Satan) will be released again and gather the nations together in a final rebellion against the people of God and be completely defeated and thrown into the lake of fire, where he will be tormented forever and ever. The Bible speaks of "ages to come" (Ephesians 2:7). Afterwards, God will create a new heaven and a new earth (Revelation 21:1; also II Peter 3:13)

i beleive Jesus will have his second coming and the world will enveloped in flames. the end. its not all that bad because in the bible it says we will all live in heaven in new perfect bodies and in paradise.\nbut scientificly, the earth will lose its outer protection and the sun will scorch the earth, so the bible is right\nand if that doent happen, the we will destroy the earth by cutting down the trees, cutting off oxygen for us people\nand there is also global warming\ni think whatever starts, end...

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.

Another fun fact! There's an amazing german song that translates to "Until the end of the world"\n\nI'm looking forward to the end of SOMETHING so I can either be proved very wrong (turns out there is a God) or very right (humans will kill themselves off somehow and in their last momments believe it's God's doing)

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

Zealous Christians have been predicting 'the second coming' and the end of the world since Jesus' time.\n\nIt's been 2000 years.\n\nAre you going to start living in reality, or are you still waiting for the world to end and you be given everything you desire in heaven?

To the world (the planet)? Then it is probably that we're heading toward another ice age if that meteor doesn't hit us.\n\nTo the world (People)? Then it's probably the planet -- it will get us all in the end, earthquakes, floods, famines, plagues, disease, superbugs... we have the present vanity of thinking we have caused problems and so we can solve them -- that we have control or the upper hand. Nope, sorry. We don't, we could solve the global warming and then hey, throw a Nuclear War or die from antibiotic-resistant superbugs, Mad Cow disease or Bird Flu!\n\nTo the world (culture/history)?  Then the answer is digital communication -- vinyl is dead, magnetic tape lives forever but the machines are dead, CDs are rotting, formats change and we lose data -- will there be anything for future archaeologists to dig up?  For a communication age, I don;t see photos, letters or even music as surviving more than a generation.  All our libraries will vanish under a computer supervirus in 2020! Arrgh!

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.

Nope! Not unless we bomb everyone, including ourselves...but I highly doubt we'll do that. According to studies, the only way that earth will truly blow up, is when it goes through its final stages. For example, turning into a red giant. I can't remember what stages we are in at the moment...but it won't happen for a long, LONG time.
