So everyones going on saying the world will end and theres endless movies from zombie outbreak to a being nuked or a masive astroid hitting us to god finaly having enough and smiting us all and im sure theres countless others but what i want to know is how you THINK the end will happen but NOT what you want to happen and if you would survive and how would you live after the apparent end.
how will it end?

Well way to take the fun out of this...
My guess would be asteroid since there's proof that there's one barreling in our direction, and if that one misses, depending on how the earth's gravitational pull influences it, it will have another go and try again.
I DID NOT APPROVE OF THIS SECOND TRY SCIENCE!
EDIT: Or a total financial collapse, and then everything snowballing from there. FUN!

When mankind refuses to use more than one comma or full stop ('period' for Americans). The stress of reading such abominations will kill us all.
With the specific exception of an extinction level event or cosmic disaster so great as to wipe life clean off the planet at the speed of it's arrival, I'd expect any theoretical 'end to the mankind' to be more of a process than an event.

Glad someone else noticed. Of course, it is possible the OP isn't English, so we shouldn't be too hasty to burn him at the stakeJarek Mace said:
OT: I would guess that it will either be a giant financial crash, or something like a solar flare or a meteor. They seem the most likely.
I like to think that its a sort of cycle, where a massive meteor or something hits the earths, all life goes extinct and the dinosaurs come back and do dinosaur stuff for millions of years and then the next meteor comes and we start all over again.
I reckon it'll be something about the balance of population vs resources tipping and the ensuing wars as each nation tries to keep its people alive. It'll either be the point where we kill each other for our tins of baked beans or the point where we just have to stop having so many kids. Seeing as people are much less likely to stop fighting than they are to stop banging...
In the vast future, when the sun explodes. Yeah, at that point, humanity will be LONG gone. But there is still other species on this big 'ol rock we call Earth and they'll probably outlast us by a long shot.
Global warming, the earth will get so hot that our eyes melt and our organs boil out of our eye sockets "like s a science fair volcano."
Yeah Im picturing it now. The discovery of perpetual energy....in explosion form.Polaris19 said:
I don't know how it'll end, but I know it'll begin with Them? Gah, no, I take that back! DO NOT THINK ABOUT THE EVENT!

Global Thermonuclear War, global pollution bad enough to inhibit breeding a la Children of Men, or Sol going supernova.
I don't see much else being sufficient to completely wipe humanity from every corner of the globe (Yes, I did that on purpose).
That said, I think refusal to acknowledge global problems (land over-development, overpopulation, resource use, climate change, pollution, etc.) much less do anything about them, will lead to wars that will massively reduce global population.

Collision with the Andromeda Galaxy will eventually end it all. That's a pretty amazing thought really. I mean you often think of extinction-level events like asteroids or even the sun turning into a red giant and burning out. But a whole galaxy is approaching us at just over 100 kilometres per second and even then given the unimaginably huge distance of space it still means it'll take 4.5 billion years to get here. Imagine, as unlikely as it seems, if humans were to last so long as to see and/or experience it. Even if we gained the technology for interplanetary travel or even inter-stellar travel we'd still most likely be majorly fucked on an indescribable scale.
Space is pretty neat.
