A bioengineered disease would not be end of the world. Just the end of humankind, or possible end of all life. The planet would still be there, with a chance of evolving new life.Same for climate change, most asteroids and nuclear holocaust.

I thought about that, so that's why the question in the poll is about Earth not being suitable just for human life.

The sun will destroy the earth in like 3 billion years so if stay here that long (humankind I mean) then we are screwed.

If we're not off earth in 3 billion years then we're screwed anyway. We've gone from wagons to space in like 200 years. So if we're not off earth in 3 billion we're probably dead.

The "big crunch" is an outdated and widely unheld theory.

In order to know when the world will end one must know where it begins.

What's ironic about all of these choices is that each of them involve very short, catastrophic events. I think it more likely that the world will not end (whatever that means, anyway) in a bang, but rather a whimper (to quote Eliot).

Well most likely it will be because of us and the actual world. I picture, that there will be continuing dispite some peoples best efforts. Continuing racial and religious conflicts. Leading to world-wide genocides, then there will of course be germs and other bacteria will become immune to all our medicine, whiping out more of the human race. There will also be conflicts and de-industrialization in around 30-40 years from the loss of oil supplies. So while it may not be the end of the human race, our population will be severly decreased and our way of life completely changed. This most likely in time, lead the few remaining humans towards death. Be it from disease, lack of food, etc.

Huge solar flares are possible from our sun. Just a few years ago, a big one took down powere grids all over canada. A gigantic one could fry our electromagnetic field and take out the protective ozone layer.

Agreed...kinda.

There is gonna be an Armageddon coming up soon. When is anybody's guess. But it's comin'. All of the stuff predicted in the Bible that would happen in the Last Days (lots of wars, rumors of war, natural disaters, plague, famine, etc.) 2000 years ago is coming to pass.

If we keep dissolving the ozone layer like we are doing now, I can imagine the polar ice caps melting sometime in the next couple of centuries. That will cause the ocean levels to raise so much that cities will flood and thousands of lives will be taken away. Then everyone else will die from skin cancer and extreme heat.
