Is the world really going to end?

Answer 1

OpinionThe world will probably end in a few billion years. Some people think the world is going to end on December 21, 2012 just because the Mayan calender ended on that date. However, people just take it the wrong way as it has been proven by scientists that the planet will be around until the sun turns red.
The World will end in 3 to 5 billion years because the Red Giant Sun will engulf, along with Mercury, Venus, and Mars. No one except for God really knows it when it will. However, it's possible that the World could end much sooner than expected.

Answer 2

The world as we know it is going to end eventually. In a few billion years time, the sun will slowly cool, until the earth becomes a dark, cold and lifeless rock. Since the human race will have long since ceased to exist, is that anything to worry about?

But will it end soon, perhaps in our lifetimes? Don't believe me, believe what others think. How many people have sold their homes and resigned their secure careers, to splurge on last-minute extravagances, or to help the poor? How many young people have left school or university, in the belief that education will not serve them beyond a few years?

Governments, businesses and organisations are continuing to plan for the long term - as they should. Opposition groups are still criticising governments for spending too much and leaving debts for the next generation. There is no evidence that any more than a tiny fringe minority takes the 'prophecies' of the end of the world seriously.
