Asteroid - 75% chance
Geological disaster (super-volcano) - 20% chance
Nuclear war - 5% chance

technology.

my theory: The big bang is actually a science experiment gone wrong. Where they create a big enough atom collission tube which causes an implosion of unimagineable force that it creates a black hole and recreating a new universe within itself.

life starts anew. life is cyclical.

so in turn. We are the death of ourselves. eternally.

trust me. A lot of pot was smoked on that day LOL

Nuclear war. Don't think so. I'd like to hope we've pulled ourselves back from the brink and decided that the cost is way too high. If the globe continues its economic connectivity, with worrisome bumps like Russia/Ukraine, China/South China Sea, the chances get less and less.

Asteroid/meteor. Nothing terribly threatening yet. As we get more technologically adapted, we increase our chances of mitigating that possibility.

Environmental disaster by our making or the earth's (such as a supervolcano). While we could trigger a runaway greenhouse effect, or change ecology in ways we're not seeing that would be devastating, or finally see the pathogen that can't be stopped, we've still got enough people scattered all over the globe to survive it.

Alien invasion. If it happened, and if the aliens weren't friendly, this could do it. We'd be powerless in the face of technology that can handle interstellar travel. However, it's hard to imagine engineering at that level that would actually need to wipe us out.

Zombie apocalypse. Sorry, not into those fictional shows, so I'm not qualified to say.

Evolution to another species, making sapiens as obsolete as neandertalis. Now we're talking.

Cellphones/Smartphones & texting... hmm

Perhaps not the extinction of our species, but I do think it is leading to the Decline & Fall of Western Civilization. sad

Species extinction?  Same as before: Meteor or comet impact.

Complete extermination of the species would be pretty hard, we occupy all habitable and most uninhabitable parts of the globe (Phoenix!). However, a strong 1-2 punch from the planet could pretty easily throw us back into pre-industrial existence, and crush our civilization. Imagine a large asteroid impact in SE Asia or China, then months, or years later an eruption of the Yellowstone Super-volcano. There is geological evidence that suggests large impact events can trigger near-simultaneous antipode volcanic/seismic events.

NOTHING.  Man will survive forever.

But...if I HAD answer...it'll be something cosmic.  Raging storm on the sun that sets Earth on fire.  Collision from a meteor or comet.

Nuclear war.

Not to get on soapbox, but it seems nuclear war is more likely now than any time since the 60's.

For the record, 98% of all documented species are already extinct.

---

Permian–Triassic extinction event wiped out 75% of plant and animal species 65 million years ago, including all non-avian dinosaurs.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cretaceous … tion_event

Chicxulub asteroid impact in Yucatan is high on the list of suspects

---

In the absence of dinosaurs, mammals later flourished to fill the void.

Yay!

---

More severe was the Permian–Triassic extinction event, 252 million years ago. This one wiped out 96% of all marine species, 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species, and mass extinction of insects. It was so devastating, it took another 10 million years for evolution to get back on it's feet again to start producing new life forms.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2 … tion_event

Scientists guess this might have also been from asteroid/meteor/volcanoes and also the release of methane from ocean floors, causing anoxia - meaning elimination of oxygen in the water.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event

---

Between these two events was the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event which thinned the herds of dinosaurs and other species about 200 million years ago.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triassic%E … tion_event

---

In the past 540 million years there have been 2 other major extinction events that have killed off more than 50% of the animal species on earth.

370 million years ago
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Devonian_extinction

450 million years ago
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordovician … tion_event


No place to hide.

What comes next?
