Top Ten Most Possible Causes to the End of the World

This may look weird. What's waiting for us at the end of the line?
The Top Ten
1 World Wide War

This, known as World War III, could be the possible cause of the end of the world. I hope this never happens. Why do we, as humans, fight each other every day? I hope world peace will happen, but I don't think it ever will.

When WWIII starts, countries will launch tons of nuclear bombs at each other. A large number of fires will occur, the air will be polluted, the internet and telecommunications will stop working, there will be a huge economic crisis, the temperature will drop significantly and become very cold, there will be no sunlight, acid will rain instead of water, food production will collapse, and billions of people will die.

Let's all hope that this never happens.

2 Nuclear War

Nuclear weapons will blow everyone to pieces, and quite frankly, if they don't, we will die of radioactive poisoning, starvation, dehydration, lack of resources, or depression.

So, we may not die directly as a cause of WWIII, but it could be an aftershock or effect of the actions.

With nukes destroying all the countries, the world will start to end. I actually think we're close to the end because of the rumors of WW3, but the Bible says no one knows except God.

We will probably die because of WW3. China and North Korea have all those nukes. And Iran is very powerful.

No doubt that the US will lose. I hope we don't though.

3 Disease

If all diseases were to somehow combine together, they would become unstoppable. No cure. We would all be dead.

There is an Ebola outbreak in Africa right now.

I feel so sorry for anyone who ever gets Ebola.

This would only happen if Ebola and the common cold were mixed.

4 Pollution, Leading to a Greenhouse Effect

Yeah, I agree with pollution because I'm writing a speech and pollution is my main point. Thanks, thetoptens.

Sincerely,
Ali Mustafa

Well, it might be in 4027, so maybe the world never ends, but this is correct.

This should be number one on the list.

Go solar panels... If you can. Good luck.

5 Asteroid

An asteroid could strike Earth at any time and totally obliterate it.

6 Massive Super-volcano Eruption

This could happen. Many eruptions have caused a lot of deaths, especially in Indonesia. Over 1 million lives have been lost due to eruptions in Indonesia.

The worst could end humankind. Be prepared to survive!

Yellowstone should be destroyed before it erupts, which might not be THAT long. It could be several years.

I'm glad I live in Canada. We won't be hit as badly. So, Americans should flee to either Canada or Mexico.

Yellowstone National Park... A ticking time bomb... That could go off at any time... In an hour, a couple of minutes, maybe days or years...

Whatever the time, the USA is doomed. Full stop.

7 Global Warming Apocalypse

Whole countries, such as Bangladesh, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Tuvalu could be flooded pretty soon.

Millions would be killed or displaced.

8 Black Hole

I read that you wouldn't even feel yourself being stretched apart... I'm not really sure if that's true. I wonder.

I just hope the world doesn't end while I am here or while my kids are on this planet. Even though I'm not that old yet, just because I planned that...

The closest black hole is at the center of our galaxy. Plus, it will take at least one million years to get halfway as close to it as we are now.

9 Zombie Apocalypse

Think about it. There could be a graveyard really close to a radiation plant. Radiation + dead bodies = zombies. It WILL happen, and I'm going to be prepared. Like this comment if you will too.

Yes! I love all you commenters for agreeing with me! Scientists trying to find cures, enhanced diseases, certain bug bites, radiation plants, and genetic engineering could lead to this! I'm getting prepared!

It will be the end of the world. Have you ever heard of mad cow disease? I'm telling you, a more evolved form of that virus will occur in someone's beef burger, and they will start to crave human meat.

10 Depleting Earth's Resources

This is the closest thing to happening. This would completely destroy the world. We wouldn't be able to enter space anyway because we would have no food or metal to make a spacecraft.

This will give us a slow and painful end, unlike a black hole.

This actually could happen very soon.

The Contenders
11 Solar Flares
12 Sun Explodes

The sun won't explode as a supernova. It's not massive enough. It will have to turn into a red giant first, which it will, and this would result in the Earth becoming a Mercury-like planet before it is finally swallowed by the sun.

However, you don't need to worry about that (even though it is inevitable if the Earth is still here somehow) because it won't happen for another 5 billion years.

13 Time Stops

If this really happens, I think the government will allow killings. Just think about it. Without time, no one will age. This means the number of deaths will be reduced significantly, and when the planet becomes overpopulated, perhaps the government will resort to massive genocides to reduce the number of humans.

The powerful and rich people will surely find a way to stay alive, while those who are poor will suffer.

If time stops, then we're all invincible. Time ending would not kill anyone nor would it even pause anyone.

You wouldn't age though. You would live forever.

14 Massive Solar Eruption

Solar flares are the most logical cause of an end, like the 2012 theory.

15 Jesus' 2nd Coming

It's possible that there may never be a second coming of Jesus, but I don't know what's going to happen to the world when this occurs.

Someone will be God's grandson and Jesus' son.

16 Collision Between Our Galaxy and the Andromeda Galaxy

I'm not sure what's gonna happen when we collide.

That would be the biggest explosion ever.

17 Robot Apocalypse

Definitely robopocalypse. I mean, we already have robots reading our vows to us in Japan!

How much longer before they refuse to run our Google engines?! Scientists, SLOW DOWN.

18 Alien Invasion
19 Christian Rapture and Tribulation

This will be the one that happens. The seven-year period will cause rapid death and annihilation of nearly 75% of what is left after the rapture. Some of the disasters humans will face at this time include:

The sun burning all humans alive,
All water dying and being replaced with blood,
A terrible earthquake worse than all others combined,
100-pound hailstones destroying everything,
And for those who worship the devil, they will break out in cancerous sores.

True! It is more likely that the Antichrist will set up abomination than for Yellowstone to erupt because the world can't end before the Rapture or Second Coming.

20 Massive Earthquakes
21 Comet
22 Earth's Core Explodes
23 Fall Out of Orbit

This is inevitable in five billion years when the Sun dies and "eats" it.

24 Big Red Giant

The Sun is supposed to engulf all the inner planets in billions of years.

25 Poisoned Water

No water, no ecosystem. Learn to eat rocks.
