Stupid? Me? Well, that was unnecessary and definitely uncalled for. I'm sorry if i didn't care enough about a volcano that no ones heard of. I just asked a simple question.

dbsndust, please try to avoid flaming, even if this is the Serious Debate... Either way, we're still buggered.

And you accuse me of flaming, Dbs. How sad.
Anyway, back on the topic, humanity is most likely to destroy itself. Nuclear waste, pollution, and other problems(such as war, where thousands die), among nukes.

This isnt about how we die this is about the future of humanity. We could be great star hoppers who can harness energy from nothing and have infinite clean power. We may of finnaly relized what peace is. We MAY become the greatest species in the universe forever leaving our mark on the universe.

Not gonna happen. Homo sapiens are an ignorant species, taking much for granted and warring violently. Indeed, humanity is an advanced species, but at what cost? We are advanced, but we are advanced in the wrong direction! We use nukes to obliterate tons of people, we assassinate others for money! Humanity will eventually crush itself.

An interesting theory.... but flawed. Saying Homo Sapiens is an ignorant species makes little sense coming from one of that species. We can only be judged by a neutral party. Unfortunately, none of the things on Earth besides humans know what a neutral party is, let alone be able to act as one.

Just by saying that you proved yourself wrong. If we were a truly ignorant species then we (assuming you are a human which of course you are) would not admit it. Meaning that there are the few or many that are not ignorant. Just because the leaders are ignorant does not mean we as a species are. If we were all ignorant than we wouldnt even know about global warming because as soon as it comes up it would be shot down. And honestly there are not THAT many nukes launched.

May this Rebel scum be AT-AT banned to the depths of TheListo's almighty wrath!
How appropriate that it spammed in the "Future of Humanity" thread!

Didn't mean to flame, just emphasized something with CAPS LOCK..... anyway, I studied that alot(relative) and I'm trying to make a point that it wouldn't really have an effect. Anyway, odds are that humans will eventually be able to terramorph and colonize other worlds before Earth becomes uninhabitable, so it won't die out. To all who think humans are satanic and evil in nature, at least we (in general) aren't cannibals (sharks, etc.) or eat our babies (almost every animal).

They only eat their babies for their babies own good or if they can't tell.
I doubt humans will die through war. War doesn't kill that many people.

We never had a nuclear war, though...
...and maybe we will colonize in different planets. Who knows?

Lol.... 2001: A Space Odyssey, seemed to be set so far in the future that it was to be believable... yet look at us now, we're not traveling in space very often, there's no moon base, but we do have the internet instead of tablets that display the news holograms!
NASA predicted a moon base by 2009 recently in this decade. Any plans? No.
Hopefully we will have a moon base by 2100

Maybe things will turn out like in the movie "Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" where people hide in deep underground facilities as a nuclear war plays out above. When everything is done and over with in, oh, about 100 years or so, people could emerge from hiding and rebuild the world and its population.

-General Veers -Natasha Bedingfield What did this guy do? Must've been pretty bad... Back on topic. If we can survive/prevent global warming and don't collapse as a society we have hundreds of thousands of years left on earth. With the rate our level of technology grows, which i believe it doubles every year, we could definetly leave earth. We could even have colonies on hundreds of planets, and maybe even interact with other intellegent life.

"interact" seems like a nice way of putting it.

Not really, just an unbiased way of putting it.
