what do you think the end of the world will be?

1. Nuclear, bilogical war

2. Mortal viruses

3. Human kind will finish with each natural resource

4. A global and natural disaster

5. God will destroy it

 

I choose number 4

Not knowing exactly what God is, I go with number 45, unless I go sooner.

when the sun becomes a red dwarf and the earth is either subsumed or continues to circle a cold impotent star but as this event is some billions of years in the future i choose to not worry too much

however if we look back in time we'll see that lot of natural disasters have happened and almost finished all kind of live. I read that even a black hole could swallow our solar system!

I think that nature laws always eliminate those beings who are becoming harm to the planet... so who knows if nature finish with us before whe fisnish it?

1 to 4 might destroy all life at the moment, but they will not cause the end of the world.

5) Why should he bother to destroy a small backward race of semi-intellgent apes located on a third rate planet in a distant insignificant backwater galaxy. Oh I forgot..........we're His chosen children and he loves us. Totally logical now......... he creates the world, waits four and a half billion years for us to arrive then blows it all up because we argue. I suppose we should count ourselves lucky, if he didn't love us we would really be in trouble.

i do not think that a god would bother but this will not bother the god botherers who will continue to bother us

robert

do god botherers bother only the bretherin or do god botherers bother god

I'm probably missing something obvious here, but what is a God botherer?




Anyway, I agree with Lionel;
