All things considered, it is highly unlikely that any humans will be around to witness the literal end of the world. The earth sits in a cosmic shooting gallery, and it is only a matter of time until we get wacked again by a large comet or meteor. Plate techtonics will eventually set off another super eruption on the scale of Yellowstone that will hugely impact human survival. Throw in runaway global warming, eventual return of the ice ages and human inability to restrain population growth, and the prognosis is not all that promising. Hate to be a wet blanket, but thems the facts.
