    6. Combination of things: Overpopulation, destruction of habitat, pollution, biological warfare, along with the lack of enough food, water, resources required to survive

    and, of course, when the zombies rise up, that definitely won't help matters either.

  • Zombies,
    A big mass of mindless almost dead people shuffling around day after day and only caring about their own immediate needs. When resources stop being available, they will rule the earth.
    Oh, and a corporation. . .there will be a corporation in charge. . .Coke. . .or Taco Bell. . .or Wal-Mart. . .  This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at March 26, 2017 9:05 AM MDT

  • The first two would do the job and are possible, though very remotely so.
    Personally I'd rule out the last two entirely as products of human superstition.
    Ultimately, I forecast the end will be a slow arduous descent to extinction carried out by our age-old companions, famine and disease, resulting from our own grievous failures.

    Rob Zombie, no doubt!  He is playing a concert this summer at that Terrace place in Sylvania.

    LOL!  Yes, Rob Zombie could very well play a key role in our eventual destruction. ;-)

  • In the mountains of Tibet is an isolated monastery where a group of ancient monks are writing down the nine billion names of God. They have been working on it for centuries. When they get the last one listed the stars will begin to blink out and the world will...

    I can't write it. It's too horrible to consider. I hope it never occurs to them to get Microsoft involved with their task.

  • Yep. It's an old one but I figured there'd be some who remembered. It was a chilling ending.

    We will cause it ourselves. We can't keep taking things out of the earth without putting something back.
    And IMO this will happen sooner then we think.

    This article is about the general concept of Apocalypse. For specific Apocalypses, see Apocalypse (disambiguation).

    An apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω, literally meaning "an uncovering") is a disclosure of knowledge or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, "a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities".[1]

    In the Book of Revelation (Greek: Ἀποκάλυψις Ἰωάννου, Apokalypsis Ioannou – literally, John's Revelation), the last book of the New Testament, the revelation which John receives is that of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the end of the present age, and that is the primary meaning of the term, one that dates to 1175.[2]

    Today, the term is commonly used in reference to any prophetic revelation or so-called end time scenario, or to the end of the world in general.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse

    So many meanings! That may be why people seem so confused about the topic. What exactly are you talking about?

    What really blew me away was the warning posted there: "This article improperly uses one or more religious texts as primary sources without referring to secondary sources that critically analyze them." The article quotes an example of word usage from the world's only source of information on the subject, and Wikipedia claims to be totally fact based, but this is improper because no learned jerk has offered his opinion about it.

  • I was just reading today about the strange trumpet sound heard in England, very loud and seeming to come from the sky.  I've heard recordings of this very strange sound in other parts of the world it even set off car alarms in one country and it's been connected by some people to the trumpets sounded by seven angels in Revelations signaling the start of the apocalypse.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZQwyV7wHzM

    Said war will be precipitated by Trump and Xi Jinping playing a game of "my d!ck is bigger than your d!ck" over the South China sea. His Royal Orangeness may be in bed with the Russians but he has a huge hate boner for China.

    Revelation 16:13, 14,16 says: "And I saw three unclean inspired expressions that looked like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the wild beast and out of the mouth of the false prophets. They are, in fact, expressions inspired by demons and they perform signs, and they go out to the kings of the entire inhabited earth, to gather them together to the war of the great day of God the Almighty. And they gathered them together to the place that is called in Hebrew Armageddon."
