I don't know what exactly the OP means. The world end as the earth is destroyed or the human civilization is wiped out. These 2 are 2 very difference things.
As for the earth got destroy, its very likely that when the sun burnt up so the first option.
As for human civilization got wiped out, well could be anyday from now, we human are really good at self-destruction. Maybe a few decades from now we will manage to nuke ourself off the surface of the earth. :D

when our sun is expanding at her final phase of live, our world will end.

all those "end of world" predictions are not worth anything.
just for fun:
Failed Doomsday list

in case you mean the extinction of humankind... i dont have any guesses.
i thing were going to survive for a long time, even if 99% die - our reproduction cycle is fast and simple enough that were going to live through it

Why does there have to be an end at all?

For each of us differently depending on how each of us is going to die.

Are you guys kidding me?

Do you really believe we won't blast each other in outer Space or all the ressources of the earth will vanish before the Sun explodes?

I wholeheartedly believe mankind is stupid enough to eradicate itself from this Planet before anything happens we don't have any control over.

In 5 Billion Years the sun will explode.
In 4 Billion Years the Milky Way Galaxy and Andromeda Galaxy are going to COLLIDE.

I really hope there is an afterlife just so I can see that happen, although in all likelihood such a collision will occur over many millions of years.

The Earth will last until then unless we destroy it with weapons. It's a big-ass planet, and even after we're gone its resources will still recover. I'd hope that mankind has actually left by then and gone elsewhere, so we'll increase our chances of survival. It's kind of disgusting that we haven't progressed farther already thanks to Obama and his cutbacks to the space program and next Moon landing.

I'm hedging on someone making a mistake and us blowing ourselves up.

Despite the possibilities of the world ending being so interesting, I'm dying to know what is going to happen over the next 60-70 years I'm going to live in!!!

Will N/S Korea unite? Will a superpower engage in a war with another? This story is one I'm interested to see unfold. Will the US actually get out of it's debt problem?

I think the human race will go extinct at the hands of itself or due to the planet no longer being able to support us all and we die out due to conditions being so bad and unsustainable for human life. I think that will actually happen before the sun asplodes and massacres us all.

Human race will end, because humans will devour all food available on the planet, or somehow destroy capability to make it.

I can already see it with my minds eye:
-The bigger and bigger human population gets, the more strained will the food producing capabilities be
-Sooner or later world food production cannot support any more population. Worldwide unrest, possibly wars because of it.
-Instead of just dying out when consumption surpasses production, humans will continue to eat and devour every single thing left, until there is nothing to produce from.
-And so human race will die.

Ever seen the prey-predator chart?
http://www.tiem.utk.edu/bioed/bealsmodules/pred-prey.gph2.gif
Imagine "prey" is human food, and "predator" is human population. Now imagine the 1/16 drop of blue is the drop in human worldwide population.

I just hope it's not gonna happen when I live, it's going to be ugly.

The human race will end because the human race becomes infertile

Fat snubby nosed aliens come and start abducting everyone and destroying everything. First to go are the sky scrapers, just for their entertainment, probably in new york, because aliens just seem to hate new york. They will slowly spread over the rest of the world, destroying, pillaging and abducting as they go.

Men will be taken up for experiments and to pitted against each other in arenas not unlike those of ancient rome. Later, the women, especially the hot ones, will be taken for the aliens pleasure.

However, I will hear of these abominations stealing all our hot women, and show up 12 years later to save the day.

Hail to the king baby!
