    I don't believe or disbelieve. Sure, it's a possibility but I'm not going to act like either situation is carved into stone. It might, it might not happen. I wouldn't be opposed to it happening, but I hope it doesn't happen before I do a few very important things with my life.

    It might, but only God knows. If He chooses to, it will.

    I'm hoping not.

    ...though I doubt hope alone would prolong the world's end.


    World's End: Aaahhh!!! You're overwhelming me with your power of hope!!! I must retreat for now. But make no mistake, earth and all its inhabitants!! One day I will come and destroy you completely!!! Bwa ha ha ha!!!

    Because life on Earth won't be sustainable for that long.

    There are very few situations the world could end up in that can actually be considered world-ending or even world-changing. Many of such events are categorized as such by media to get more attention.

    The "world" is coming to a close though. Maybe by my hundredth birthday, the world'll be changed either horrifically or for the better. However, contrary to the Mayans, bless their well-meaning hearts, I do not believe the Earth itself will ever be destroyed either on the surface or as a whole. I also do not believe in supernovas or black hole anomalies. These are mostly theories and unexplained phenomena which we can't truly figure without the help of warpdrive for our space travel. Looking through a telescope no matter how powerful is not proof that black holes exist or that supernovas occur. You might as well continue to believe that the Earth is a flat plane and that the universe is only 50000km in diameter.

    Error! Closer to about 6000 years so far. Dinosaurs died out during Noah's flood. They didn't live millions of years. But the day will arrive when billion-year life is possible.
    Jack: How do you know?

    Will: It's more of a feeling really.

    Jack: Well, that's not scientific. Feeling isn't knowing. Feeling is believing. If you believe it, you can't know because there's no knowing what you believe. Then again, no one should believe what they know either. Once you know anything that anything becomes unbelievable if only by virtue of the fact you now... know it. You know?

    Will: No.

    If Demolition Man were remade today

    Huxley: What's wrong? You broke contact.
    Spartan: Contact? I didn't even touch you.
    Huxley: Don't you want to make love?
    Spartan: Is that what you call this? Why don't we just do it the old-fashioned way?
    Huxley: NO!
    Spartan: Whoa! Okay, calm down.
    Huxley: Don't tell me to calm down!
    Spartan: What's gotten into you? 'Cause it sure as hell wasn't me.
    Huxley: Physical relations in the way of intercourse are no longer acceptable John Spartan.
    Spartan: What? Why the hell not?
    Huxley: It's the law, John. And for your information, the very idea that you suggested it makes me feel personally violated.
    Spartan: Wait a minute... violated? Huxley what the hell are you accusing me of here?
    Huxley: You need to leave, John.
    Spartan: But Huxley.
    Huxley: Get out!
    Moments later Spartan is arrested for "violating" Huxley.

    By the way, that's called satire. Get over it.

    That's not so much an "error" as it is a differnet believe than your own, if we're going to use the Bible in this discussion.

    I don't believe and I don't disbelieve.

    I'll enjoy my life as much as I can and make the most of what I have. If the world ends, it ends - there's nothing I can do about it. We're all gonna die one day anyway.

    But they did eat each other.

    Humanity won't end. Even if Nukes do rain down, then it'd just be Fallout 3 time.

    If you believe the movie 2012 then everyone will die by lots of CG.

    I don't really agree with anything you said, but this stood out the most. Where on that calendar did it say the surface of the planet will be destroyed?

    So when I eat steak I'm being violent?

    Dinosaurs were animals. Eating each other is how they survived. I've never seen an animal attack someone or something beyond the need for food or protection.

    I don't know you well enough to tell if you're joking. Please tell me you are.

    Anyway, regarding the current discussion, saying "dinosaurs lived for hundreds of millions of years" is a bit of a misnomer. Sure, the "dinosaur period" was something like 200 million years, but thousands of species dinosaurs evolved and became extinct during that period, well before the 65-million-year extinction. There is no "dinosaur" species, but a collection of countless thousands of species, none of which themselves lasted hundreds of millions of years.
