    Humans will cease to exist someday, whether its tomorrow or a billion years from now. Think about it. Our Sun will one day die.

    No, I think we have enough genetic variance to survive a epidemic like the Ebola Virus.

    We would survive Ebola, because it's not a very successful virus. But I know what you are saying. A successful virus would still leave some survivors. Viruses scare me because I work with them and I know the potential and probability of a pandemic is very likely. Asteroids & Aliens.....not so much.

    No it wouldn't cover the planet in lava, but supposedly, if Yellowstone erupted, it would cover 1000 miles in lava and it wouldn't take too long for the rest of the world to be effected.

    Got another one, similar to the machine revolt. How about nanotechnology (which is fascinating, btw)?

    This one is interesting, although I don't think it's very accepted in the scientific community

    The Chinese are going to create an army of human/Yeti hybrids with which to conquer the world. That's why the capture of Nepal is so important to their long range plans. This army will turn on the human race causing the U.S. to release a secret, but uncontrollable, biological agent that will render all life on this planet kaput.
    All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

    So, I'm going with someone like Nikola Tesla splitting the earth or a supernova.

    global warming is already wiping us out.

    The rapture already came and went, but you have to be wearing brand new Nike's to board the happy bus...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
