    How do you think the human race will meet its demise?
    Asteroid?
    Super Virus?
    Zombies?
    Alien Attack?
    Nuclear War?
    Some biological accident whereby all women look like Rosie O Donnell killing the reproductive instinct in men leading to our extinction?
    Or something completly different?

    I think there is a good chance that we spread through the galaxy in the very long run. We have the science of self contained ecologies to apply to megaships. They'd be all like Wooooooooooosh! Poooooow! There own self contained worlds ferrying generation after generation though the gulf to other potentially habitable planets. Or even give up on the planets. Harvest resources and live in man made habitats. We could move about, become somewhat nomadic. I imagine humanity in space like seeds in the wind. We'll end up everywhere.
    I'm a big fan of Iain M. Banks.

    Always thought it was odd how people thought the future of humanity was dependant on spreading out into the Universe, when we can't even maintain life here.

    Isn't the sperm count of men declining each year iirc? (not mine though;))

    So I reckon we'll eventually fade out, due to a slowing, then we'll find it almost impossible to repopulate human presence on earth.

    Nukes will take out a high % in my opinion, the rest I dunno, suicide, murder and the lack of natural resources.

    In the Future there is no religion...only war

    Atheist's fight Agnostics to be the smugest on the planet.

    Their over use of anti matter weapons will result in our extinction.

    Synthetic sperm thanks to the wonders of biotechnology.

    Sometimes I think the Humans are like the Krogans, and are becoming more like that as time goes on. We're a race that constantly builds and destorys each other as time goes on. Creating wars, causing our planet a lot of harm and have caused our race a lot of harm too. So I think it's only a matter time before we resort to what the Krogans did and unleash weapons of mass destruction on each and destory ourselves in a nuclear war. Except unlike the Krogans we proberly don't have the biology to survive and survive the conditions afterwards.

    Virus. And it'll be a man-made one, too.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    We'll find a way to completed transfer our conciousness into a computer type system, along with a 'robotic' body. That will practically make us immortal and the biological human body will die out as obsolete.

    Either that or there will be a massive month long internet outage and we all die from withdrawal symptoms.

    We will end when everyone's conscientiousness uploaded on-to the internet. Its the big secret that mods are sworn to up-hold.
