The End of the Earth, how do you think it will happen? Options

[Frostedflakes616]

There are many theories on how the world will end for us, on how the Earth and us with it will be destroyed.

First Theory:
As you all know of the Big Bang, which is believed to be the start of the universe. Some say that the universe may go back to that little sized pearl and we will be destroyed.

Second Theory:
If you did not learn this in school, the sun is a star. And all stars have life and death. Their death is when they explode becoming a nova/supernova. Which means the sun will have one as well. They say eventually, the sun will end life and explode, destroying the Earth.

These are the two main theories that I know about. What do you think? Do you think the universe will go back into the pearl sized amount of gas? Or will the sun blow us up?

You decide. If you know of another theory, feel free to mention it.

My Opinion:
The first theory in my opinion is highly unlikely. I don't believe the whole universe will shrink back. If anything, the universe will keep expanding forever. I do believe in the second theory, but that will probably not last for another couple million or even billion years. If not that, we'll be destroyed by a meteor or colide with another planet, both seem to be unlikely. So if we don't get destoyed by another planet (by collision) or by a meteor, the sun will blow up on us.

I didn't bother to read the other posts, but whatever.

Here's how I think the world will end: We all know about global warming. The sea levels will rise and the population will be forced to move more inland. We'll use up all our resources and let out more pollution. The weather would get all screwed... It would get too hot for agricultural production. More famines, more starvations. There won't be enough food or resources to keep up with the growing population. And combine that with global epidemics. We'd be killing ourselves.

I think it makes sense.

I think this topic is leaning toward the end of the Earth rather than the extinction of mankind.
