UVA Flash Seminar: How The World Will End?

I’ve always wondered how the human race will go extinct. I’m not a survivalist or have a cabin in the middle of nowhere with canned food that will last me the next five years. I don’t spend hours pondering this question or losing sleep, but I am simply interested in this puzzle. The answer to this question can have numerous answers, but no one knows for certain how it will happen. The discussion about how the world will end would lead me to present this topic at a UVA Flash Seminar if given the opportunity.
This question could be answered in numerous ways. I’m a science guy. I like all forms of science, but this can also conflict with my religion. The science and engineer majors might believe that an asteroid will hit the world which will end

it all or that there will eventually be too little sun. Meanwhile, a religious studies student could talk about their own gods plan; theoretically, each religion could have their own answer. The answers to this topic are truly endless. Those who study international relations might even look at what is going on in the world. They might think that a war will break out with lethal bombs which could kill everyone off, yet no one really knows the world’s fate. This question would raise discussions which would allow my peers and I to see how our views are different, but it could also teach valuable lessons to like accepting other’s viewpoints.
