    The earth and all of the planets will eventually be destoryed.

    1. There are about a trillions asteroids in the Asteroid belt, and many leave that belt and hit othe planets. There are small ones, big ones, and the horrible "doomsday" ones. According to scientists, its not a matter of "what if" the doomsday asteroid will hit, its "when" will it hit. An asteroid is bound to hit earth one day, and now they're saying in the year 2036, an asteroid that's 406ft wide might hit earth(but that's a rare chance).

    2. Yellowstone National Park-Right inside Yellowstone National Park, there is this thing called "The Super Volcano". This volcano is bound to erupt. Again, according to scientists, its not "what if" the volcano erupts, its "when" it erupts. That thing could go off any second, but scientists think it won't go off from 100 years. If it does, it'll create such a huge explosion and eventually flood the earth with Lava, therefore, destorying it.

    3. The Sun. In billions of years, the sun will eventually burn out. The process is like this-The sun will get bigger and brighter as the years go on. It will raise temperatures on earth by 5, 10 or 15 degrees as each year passes. Then, the sun will turn more orangeish, and eventually turn bright red. After the sun turns red, it will eventually explode(supernova). The explosion will reach further than Jupiter. If the explosion is big enough, the sun will turn into a white dwarf, then a black dwarf. If the explosion is big enough, it will turn into a black hole and suck everything into it.

    No matter what, the earth will eventually be destroyed. Not in our century, or in any century any time soon, but it will happen. Its not a matter of if, its a matter of when.

    Yes, at some point in time (billions of years from now), the sun will eventually burn all of it's gases and become a white dwarf. While some stars go into a supernova (giant explosion), it is believed that our star is not big enough to create one.

    The sun is made up of a bunch of gases, mainly hydrogen, but it goes through a process called nuclear fusion in which the hydrogen gets converted into helium. Once all of it's hydrogen is consumed it will enter a red giant phase and will start producing carbon and oxygen. While in the red giant phase, Earth's orbit will either be completely engulfed by the sun or get close to it. This will dry out our planet and make Earth look like a scene from a horror movie.

    The sun will later cool off and turn into a white dwarf, leaving our solar system cold, dark and completely lifeless.

    According to the Bible, the earth will be here forever.
    (Isaiah 45:18) For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: “I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.
    (Ecclesiastes 1:4) A generation is going, and a generation is coming; but the earth is standing even to time indefinite.
    (Psalm 78:69) And he began to build his sanctuary just like the heights, Like the earth that he has founded to time indefinite.
    (Psalm 104:5) He has founded the earth upon its established places; It will not be made to totter to time indefinite, or forever.
    (Psalm 119:90) Your faithfulness is for generation after generation. You have solidly fixed the earth, that it may keep standing.

    Some Church's teach that the earth will be burned up but that is partially due to an alteration of 2Pet 3:10 in later manuscripts.


    2 Pet 3:10
    http://www.codexsinaiticus.org/en/manuscript.aspx?=Submit Query&book=54&chapter=3&lid=en&side=r&verse=10&zoomSlider=0
    2Pet 3:10 “….ρυζηδον παρελευϲο ται ϲτοιχεια δε καυ ϲουμενα λυθηϲε ται γη και τα εν αυ τη εργα ευρεθηϲε”
    Notice that “Ευρεθηϲε” is in the Sinaiticus although they translate it incorrectly as “burned up”.

    At 2Pet 3:10 the older more reliable manuscripts such as the Codex Sinaiticus and Vatican MS 1209 (Vat MS 1209/ Codex Vaticanus/ “B”), both of the 4th century C.E. have a form of “εὑρεθήσεται" (find, discovered, found) later manuscripts replaced it with “κατακαίω” (burned up).

    http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=2Pe&c=3&v=10&t=NASB#conc/10
    3:10 ἥξει δὲ ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν ᾗ οἱ οὐρανοὶ ῥοιζηδὸν παρελεύσονται στοιχεῖα δὲ καυσούμενα λυθήσεται καὶ γῆ καὶ τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ ἔργα εὑρεθήσεται
    “εὑρεθήσεται” is in the text although blueletter Bible replaces it with “κατακαίω” katakaiō in their interlinear.

    εὑρεθήσεται.

    http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2pet%203:10&version=NASB;ESV;NIV;NCV;HCSB - Some modern translations will say something like “discovered” or exposed either in the text or in a footnote referring to earlier manuscripts.

    1. Find, Found
    heurisko denotes
    (a) "to find," either with previous search, e.g., Matt_7:7,8, or without, e.g., Matt_27:32; in the Passive Voice, of Enoch's disappearance, Heb_11:5; of mountains, Rev_16:20; of Babylon and its occupants, Rev_18:21,22;
    (b) metaphorically, "to find out by enquiry," or "to learn, discover," e.g., Luke_19:48; John_18:38; John_19:4,6; Acts_4:21; Acts_13:28; Rom_7:10; Gal_2:17, which indicates "the surprise of the Jew" who learned for the first time that before God he had no moral superiority over the Gentiles whom he superciliously dubbed "sinners," while he esteemed himself to be "righteous;" 1_Pet_1:7; Rev_5:4;
    (c) in the Middle Voice, "to find for oneself, gain, procure, obtain," e.g. Matt_10:39; Matt_11:29, "ye shall find (rest);" Luke_1:30; Acts_7:46; 2_Tim_1:18. See GET, OBTAIN.

    Regarding the future of earth nothing is certain.
    After all who has seen the future.
    We know we hav external threats like comet srtiking the earth. Astroids falling on earth etc but the biggest threat to earths future are humanbeings themselves.We alter the enviroment to such adegree its not possible for its natural ability to replinish the damage.look at the ozone hole.The extint species ,.
    Nuclear war fare is aserious threat. So lets think about it before it gets too late.

    i think that the planet earth will definety be destroyed because if the sun burns out and explodes id will, probably take away jupiter and saturn and definety earth beacause its close and very small and very big to other planter but i know for a fact that someday the earth is going to be gone and there no doubt in my mind thats its not going to stay.

    Earth will be destroyed and it's noty so far from now. It will happen either because mercury which is very hot explodes and makes earth explode or the sun will convert into a black hole. Also there is a posibility that a comet will crash into earth and block out the sun which will make us ecxtinct like the dinosaurs. We also in the U.S have a nuclear bomb which if explodes, will make the earth into chunks.

    No, I can't see Earth destroyed, or deteriorated completely. As far as we know...I think...all of the planets we know of have not been destroyed by anything and have not deteriorated. And we've been observing planets for quite some time.

    The planet is already dead. We killed it. It just takes a little time to show. The turmoil in the planet's weather is essentially the planet's initial death throws. 155-thousand years from now, this planet can't even support the life of a single hardy beetle. And still we proliferate and persist in doing what killed this planet, so we all can get to our pretend "heaven" all at once, so those who don't have any grasp of reality might follow those who know how the afterlife works. Ain't gonna happen. Heaven and earth doesn't want assholes. Humanity is this now in suicide mode, as it path and flow. We sold Life and Love out to money, and to a pretend "god". Humanity, this day, has absolutely no respect for Life. Humanity has lost all respect for humanity. All our species has left of life and love and reality, is hate, lust, fear, and destruction. Humanity has gone totally insane. The proof is your democracy and religions, and their wars and money glut. You creatures treat Life and the planet as insane itchy-bum chimps would treat Life and the planet. Your insane species has dismantled heaven on earth, and is building hell on earth of it.
    You are a strange species. You are hellbent on destroying your home for money.
    I am confused; why do you mindless creatures pray in hell?
    Seems the question answered itself.

    Humanity's next war will obliterate the planet's pollinators. You demons will run out of food in a few more years. The planet will devolve into a dessert planet. Near the year 50,000 humanity will be mostly cannibals by necessity. You are a mindless hateful destructive species. Your species doesn't deserve Life, yet you monkeys believe you deserve a "heaven". What god would want the likes of you in his palaces? The first thing you humans would do in a "heaven" would be to piss on the roses. Have a nice extinction monkeys. HaH! pray to your pretend gods for all the good it does. There is more reality in a soiled bit of toilet paper than in all your pretend gods combined. If you creatures could only pull your heads out your arses, you would see there's daylight out here, and you might see what it is you do. I suggest "crowbars and vaseline", or cesarean section. Wake-up you stupid monkeys, while you still cling to the little remaining life on this planet. Why do you critters pray in hell? Why do you destroy everything you touch?
    Get crowbars.
