Ivan, why do you believe the world will one day end? How can you be so sure that this will actually happen or please explain why you believe it will end?

Hi megan. The Earth will come to an end and life on this planet as we know it will end long before the Earth incinerates. Our sun is a star and will become a red giant in a few billion years, destroying this planet.
