For those that believe in a creator.


Scientists have proposed various scenarios by which the earth could be destroyed or rendered uninhabitable. Sometimes called existential risks, these include natural disasters—such as asteroid or comet impact, supervolcanoes, the death of the sun, or global warming—and they also include man-made catastrophes—such as nuclear war or bioterrorism.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Belief that the earth will eventually be destroyed has caused some to plunder its precious resources. It has caused others to lose hope for the future and to live only for today. This can lead to a life with little meaning or purpose.

How we should see the end of the world. From God's standpoint as outlined in Bible.

1: The end will surely come. Mattew 24:14.

2: God's word assures us there will survivors and what we need to do to survive. Proverbs 2:21,22.

3: The end of the world will not be an epic,flaming destruction by steroids and the likes. God will not allow the earth to be destroyed as he assured us in the Bible. Psalm 105: 4, Ecclesiastics 1:4 and Isaiah 45:18.

4: The end will not be a random, unscheduled events. Like steroids and other natural disasters. Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” This clearly shows that the Almighty God has an appointed time for the end and he alone can initiate the end.

So in all it is safe to conclude that scientific calculations or debris falling from the space will not bring about the end of the world. I hope these few points will help us tackle some misunderstanding.

Thanks for the enlightenment, FTC. In case if it make it.

Thanks so help me call, lala.

Lala come ooo, we need you here.

Lol

Lol, they want to kill us with fear.

The creator gave us brain to learn and aquire knowledge for a reason,
The heat wave we are experiencing was predicted years ago,politicians refused to act on it.
Science is not against religion, a lot of great scientists are religious.

what's the original thread?

It was on front page yesterday, ten elements that can wipe out life on earth.

You are right my brother, in fact some of the problems we see around today are because of man's carelessness. But God will not allow the earth to go like that.

Note that this thread wasn't created to oppose the fact that the earth isn't safe. Look at these excerpts:

Some nine countries are said to have the capacity to launch nuclear attacks. A few other nations appear to be in the process of developing their own nuclear weapons. And terrorist organizations are only too eager to get hold of them.

Pollution, overpopulation, overharvesting, habitat destruction, and climate change contribute to the extinction of animal species perhaps as much as 1,000 times more than natural rates.

But there are also growing fears of biological weapons, man-made diseases. Experts in the field say that a small group of people who are trained in key disciplines could buy equipment on the Internet and produce deadly biological weapons.

many hold the cause to be the burning of coal, oil, and natural gas—fossil fuels that emit high amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere—by cars and industry can make the earth uninhabitable soon.

Some experts believe that those emissions act like a greenhouse, slowing the escape of heat from the earth into space and causing temperatures to rise. Because trees absorb carbon dioxide, large-scale deforestation may also contribute to climate change.

A larger asteroid, of course, would do much more damage, generating immense firestorms, which would be followed by plummeting global temperatures and major extinctions.

Apart from the immediate destructive power, global climate change would cause crop failure, disrupt food supplies, and lead to mass starvation.

But we are confident the creator will not allow the earth to become uninhabitable, or allow these threats to destroy the world. He alone can bring about the end or destruction of the world.

Okay.
