APOCALYPSE: How The World Will End The end of the world is an inevitable event and something that is in the back of the minds of every person on Earth. Over time, various theories about how our time will end have been developed, believed, and proven wrong time and time again. The uncertainty about how, why, and when the world as we know it will end is why there has been so much speculation throughout history as when those questions will finally be answered. The uncertainty of how the world will end is both what attracts us to and makes us turn away; we want to know but know it is impossible to find out how the world will actually end until it does. These theories on how the world will end are all equally based in hard scientific data, speculation based on scientific evidence, and religious and spiritual beliefs. Regardless of what someone believes, apocalypse theories are often grounded in strong beliefs. It often seems as it we are trying to both fight the apocalypse and bring it about. Many famous cults including Heaven's Gate believed in apocalypse prophecies and gained thousands of followers from them. The end of the world is a popular topic for a reason. Discussing and making light of something makes it seem less of a threat. In this book, author Phil Coleman examines different apocalypse theories, and looks at how, and when, the world as we know it might cease to exist.
