Nuke War: My number 2 choice but there will always be some government that has built a facility underground that can sustain life for a nuclear war, life will go on...if a nuke is launched, the president's (US) oval office will launch and send him to the ISS...where some cute russian cosmonaut is waiting...nevermind.

Famine: We are too far along with technology, that incase we can't grow any more food we will be able to produce it in labs....rack of lamb anyone?

AIDS: Unless a biological world war happens and this is what is spread...no it won't wipe out humanity.

Asteriod: My choice, Hollywood can't protect you and neither can NASA.

Alien Invasion: Sci-fi has distorted your mind.

Earth Quake: This is the toss up...it would have to be extremely big, I don't think something big enough to wipe out all humans is possible, but I don't know.

Why contemplate about mass death? It won't be your problem...chances of humanity getting wiped out in your lifetime is a little, just a bit better than winning the lotto.

Asteroid Impact

Historically it has been the biggest killer of species, wiping out almost all terrestrial life on earth several times. We are allready overdue by 6 million years for another one.

This is why I think we need to get self sufficent space colonies ASAP. The largest known asteroid is ~1/4 the size of our moon. No currently available amount of explosives, solar sails, rockets, or prayer could even marginally move something like that.

Smaller rocks would be a major boon for us though. If put into earth orbit or set in a Lagrange point they could easily be mined or turned into colony ships.

 

You forgot "Religious War" on that list.

Holy War - Crusade - Jihad - "Diaspora"

 

Another cause may be the one you didn't think of. Bacteria. Strains that have become immune to present day antibiotics. Or, as some of our members might believe, that one of the governments of the world releases a test bacterium by mistake.

"Stupidity"! that is my answer

 

airborne ebola. it exists and all it will take is one sneezy tourist and suddenly "12 Monkeys" will seem like a history lesson.

 

I voted for the rock from space, but of course that would only work after Bruce Willis dies from old age.

 

evolution

 

Yea your right, that documentary called Armegedon really showed how much of a hero he was...wait didn't he die at the end?

 

Asteroid

 

imo an asteroid could destroy our civilization- yes, but to destroy all humans- well- it would have to be a pretty damn big asteroid- enough to destroy our planet or to burn all oxigen.

 

One big enough to cover the earth in dust and create an ice age will do just fine.

 

Well, we never really saw Bruce Willis die at the end of that. We saw hi all alone with a nuke on an asteroid streaking toward Earth, just before it exploded. You never know, he might have escaped.

 

:grins:

 

But...but...but, He's gotta escape or they can't have a sequal.

 

probably aliens will abduct him in the last moment

Evolution? That is a very optomistic view.

Mabe we can even develop sapience. Like that could ever happen. :/
