Will be the end of the world? Will it be a world war? An asteroid? A massive bacterial infection? Over population? Etc? What are your serious opinions of what will end the human race?

Hmm...good question. When I think about it, they all sound like possibilities. Humanity has a history of wars, so I could never exclude that we destroy one another that way. An asteroid has already hit the Earth, and when it did, it wiped out nearly all life-forms that inhabited this place. Who is to say that can't happen again? An infection, I doubt one could spread around the entire globe and deliver a 100% mortality rate, but I can't say that it's impossible either. Over population, I don't think that'll cause our doom. It could cause problems, for sure. But not the end of the world. Basically, what I'm saying is that those are all possible candidates, and if one doesn't happen, then one of the others will...eventually.

For me, the bacterial one seems most plossible. The reason being this, it doesnt have to be an infection like the common cold that needs to spread, like the black plague. It could just be superbacteria that are currently growing as we speak. These bacteria are becoming immune to current medicines that are available. And as we all know, most high powered meds today come with a large list of side effects that hurt almost as much as the virus or bacteria it's self. Therefore, it wouldn't need to 'spread' it would just have to evolve over time. It's already begun to happen. The only chance humanity has there is to get ahead of these bacteria and developed immunities faster than they arise. But of course that's just a worst case senario lol

Ive always pictured the end of the world being a shower of nukes, but then again, i play way too much Fallout.

Global Warming [Another Ice Age]

One of the only things we wouldn't be able to fight off or prevent.

However I think over-population will be our *first issue, just not the one that kills us off.

What ever happened to the scenario *where some stupid scientest creating a SuperComputer that can learn and eventually takes over the world by creating robot soldiers?*

My personal theory is a disease. I dunno if it'll be synthetic or natural, but due to our high population and relatively low sanitary conditions in public places like schools i think that a disease would be extremely easy to spread. After that I would have to say either war or some other way of introducing radiation into the environment.

My money's on over population/over consumption of resources.

The top "choices" for me are:

Nuclear Holocaust

Viral Outbreak

Gamma Ray Burst (wikipage)


BTW those are listed from highest to lowest chances of survival.
