Sometimes this can be a depressing subject, but I am really curious to see what others think about it.

How do you think the world will end? Here's my views on it:

I don't really think the world is very suddenly going to be engulfed into nothingness. I've heard too many theories that the world is going to end on 2012, or 2037 because of some scripture in Revelations. I think that, like many do, that the world will have a giant devestating flood from global warming, probably not in our lifetime, though. See, I don't think God will be the reason earth will one day end. Because, he said that he would not deliberatley send another life-threatening disaster to earth, after the whole Noah's ark thing in Genesis. But, the earth will probably exist after global warming; for animals that can survive in those conditions. For animals like fish, and underwater species, life will go on, and maybe that will evolve into more sophisticated speices, eons after the humans are gone. But, slowly but surley, the earth will be engulfed by the sun, and those speices will die, unless Ford Prefect will come to save them! ;D

But, what are your views on the end of the world?

My view is that time will just stop and whoever is alive at that time will be stuck on the same month/day/year/hour of when it happens for the rest of eternity. All the clocks would hafta be trashed. XD

People look too deeply into Revelation. They do not understand what it is about. Revelation is a Message from God given to John of Patmos. He was telling the early church to "hang in there" from the persecution by the Romans. This book offers little about the apocolypse. It is more concerned with teling the poeple of the day, in a code that only they would understand, that everything will be OK. They only need to hang in there and God will save them.

I think the world will end when Prinsess Diana comes out of hiding, then everyone will be like "WHAT THE CRAP SHE'S STILL ALIVE?!?!?" and die.

I think the world will end when the sun expands into a red giant. Everyone wouldn't be able to take the heat, and die.

The End of the world will happen when God see's fit. It could happen tommarrow, or the fifteenth year after 2000 who knows what. When he does send his son Jesus at the second coming, those who want him are sent to Heaven and those who don't are.....well, you know. Those who wish to stray from him are given exactly what they want: An enternity of suffering, away from God. Keep in mind that this is my opinion. I'm really not in the mood for a big fight over what's wrong or right. This is what I think will happen.

I found a hillarious flash animation called "The end 'o the world". But it has a lot of swearing and such.

If I could, I'd post a link, but I think it is part of the rule: "Do not make links to inappropriate content".

Ambulance Y · « **Reply #15 on:** January 28, 2006, 11:26:06 PM »

I love that toon! Like when the French people say, "But I am 'le tired!". But it still dosen't beat the internet-bound "Asian Pride" rap. That one is hillarious.

Didn't God say in Genesis, "I will never send a flood to destroy the world?" That leaves a few openings for other things. But seriously I actually believe PL on this, no matter how funny that sounds to some people. I believe that Jesus will take his followers to Heaven with Him and the rest of the world will remain to face horrible punishments for a long time (but I hope that it won't be too late for them to change). I could say a lot more about this but I don't think it would be a good idea since I not only can't remember or understand many things I read, but also don't want to offend people. Just like always though, this is simply my opinion and I won't push it on anyone. I've heard these things from Revelations, the Left Behind books, and other places but I have no clue when the world could end. But I don't really care because I know I'm ready for it, yet I want and need to help others be ready before it's too late. Wow, I think I just discovered a big reason why some people get very offended from Christian beliefs. How did I miss that?

Nonserious answer: In the year 2666, the planets shalt spinneth out of control and flyeth straightforward into the sun, creating the most magnificient exblowsion the universe has ever seeneth. Then in 10 berjillion and four score years the sun shalt exploditate and recreateth the big bang, which shalt then restart evolution and restoreth life for another several thousand years and repeateth this until the aliens can fixeth the problem once and for alleth.

GG: That was a priceless moment of Chicken Little. Eh heh heh... heh.

Back to topic: I think the world will end whenever the Gods see fit. It could be tomorrow, or it could be 1,000 years from now, but whenever..

I just don't want it to end in my lifetime. I know I'm not ready yet.. :(

EDIT: fixed some typos. It's time for bed.. :p

The topic said to give your opinion on how the world would end. This is my opinion. Got a problem with that? I don't know why, out of all the opinions, you had to pick mine to insult. Is it because it has to deal with Jesus Christ? I'm sorry, but I had no intention of making this topic "uncomfortable." No one else seems to be bothered.

Personally, my theory is that the world will end at a time that's convenient to me, say, about a year after I die. It'll probably either collide with a space probe from Mars, or be taken over by the SkyNet computer (whichever comes first).

MaxVance · « **Reply #33 on:** January 30, 2006, 08:45:59 PM »

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #35 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:18:42 PM »

JAIL'D!

Anyway, I still stand by my earlier views that the sun will eventually engulf the earth, or come dangerously close to doing so, therefore roasting everything.

BP · « **Reply #36 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:24:27 PM »

Aaw, my Shroob.
In that case, wouldn't the sun be getting closer to Mars as well, enabling it to support life accompanied by technology?

Ultima Shadow · « **Reply #37 on:** January 30, 2006, 11:33:28 PM »

Just say the Sun engulfs Earth, and then doesn't go any further. Mars would still be about 70 million kilometres away from the Sun, which is too close. Earth, right now, is 150 million kilometres away.

Glorb · « **Reply #38 on:** January 31, 2006, 10:51:37 AM »

Actually, I've heard that, around the year 2040-something, a gigantic asteroid would collide with the earth, posibly wiping out all civilization as we know it.

But that's where my plan comes in. You see, I have begun constructing a special spacecraft that would escape from the earth just as the asteroid impacts. Who here wants to join?

DarthTedd64 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 31, 2006, 12:43:24 PM »

Let's see...in 2040 I would be 53, which is about how old my parents are now. Of course, humans will probably be living longer then because of advances in medical technology.

Sure, sign me up. I've always wanted to go to outer space and see other planets. And I'll probably still be all alone in 30-some years, so I wouldn't have to worry about a family to support.

The asteroid is named after an anchient Egypt-type God. However, the chance of collision is 1 in a 10,000 chance. Sooooo.......I don't think it'll happen. Besides, even if it did, it would only have the strength of the bomb we dropped on Japan 100,000x over. The strongest bomb Russia dropped was actually pretty close to that. I'm not really all that worried.
