Please give me your opinion
The human race will die. (we all know this will happen)
What do you think will be the cause?
war? popultion? Or maybe a wonder drug which will slowly kill us. People - even doctors smoked because they believed it to be good for your health.

Aliens will invade and eat everyone in some weird sexual ceremony.
Seriously, though, I think it'll be either a pandemic or war. Humans have too much war.

I disagree. Or at least, to an extent. I don't think humans are going to be outlived.
You say it like it is a proven fact, but it is not.
What you SHOULD say is:
The human race may die off, what do you think would be the cause?

it is very possible that the human race will evolve and no longer be homo-sapiens, but homo-supersapiens etc...

Or DEvolve, which seems to happen sometimes . But I bet it will be something along the lines of the worlds resources are short and we all try to get them - which never works out nicely.

I think it'll probably be a combination of overpopulation and a shortage of natural resources. Add in a pandemic and you've got yourself a party.
Personally, the idea of some kind of rabid carnivorous race of aliens coming to Earth is slightly more fun.

You know, I really don't think we're going to run out of earth's resources, at least, not any time soon.
As long as we stop this recycling bullshit.

It would be funny if we all died of some antibiotic resistant strand of bacteria; one of the main reason we don't have new antibiotics is because they don't make a large enough profit to justify spending money to research them. It would be like... our greed is our downfall - so poetic, or something.

The irony would be worth it, though.

not if we die. more specifically, not if -i- die. kidding. i'm not that vain.
i think it'll be nuclear war, plus, in the aftermath, a mutant radioactive virus spawned from AIDS, ebola, etc. will kill what's left.
yepp. i have prophesized this. prepare yourselves.

It would probably be extremely difficult to wipe out every last human on earth by means of disease or resource depletion. So I vote meteor.

There's loads of possibilities: A population boom makes a shortage of resources leads to war leads to conflict leads to death. ' ' requires space, which means clear-cutting rainforests (Which as we know can lead to some spectacularily icky diseases such as AIDS and Ebola).
The leader of a nuclear-enabled power could get pissy or trigger-happy; take, for example, the current situation in global politics. The US in involved in Afghanistan and Iraq, threatening to push Iran around (oh, such a bad idea), and pissing off Venezuela and North Korea. Venezuela has one of the last MAJOR oil resources outside of the Middle East. North Korea likely has nukes. Not folks people wanna piss off...and yet.
India and Pakistan are sniping, Israel is getting sniped at/sniping back with the rest of the Middle East, Africa is one big Human-Aid -disaster-, and the largest current international power insists on committing human rights abuses directly contrary to the Geneva Convention--instead of setting an example for other countries.
All this really tetchy mixture needs is one fucked up whacko with a bone to pick getting pissy, and suddenly, we've knocked the planet out of orbit.
Or, there are always the awesome diseases we keep finding--flesh eating disease? Whoo hoo. AIDS? Whee! Ebola Sudan, with its 99.7% kill rate in humans and it's no known cure? Yeah. That's a fucking riot, right there. We have higher population densities now then ever before, AND we have increased methods of transnational communication. Who needs nukes, when anybody with a lab and a pissy attitude can make a super-bug that could wipe out cities in days using a well-placed vaccine?
Or, yanno, we could always just have a zombie apocalypse. I think that one's most likely, actually.
