What would be a cause for an "apocalypse"?

Scientific answers or creative ones from your imagination. Maybe aliens came and abducted everybody on the planet except for 10,000 people that managed to hide from them? Or some kind of disease(descriptions! - and not a zombie disease, that is too common)?

This is a serious question! Serious answers please!

And when I say apocalypse, I mean an event that would happen to the entire world that would only leave a few survivors (a million or so) on the planet.

Thank you

    Realistically? Nuclear holocaust or the permanent pollution of the water supply are two most daunting prospects.

    A more creative, less realistic, scenario, has all the technology in the world rendered useless by EMP waves, of either human or alien origin. This would reduce the world to a state of technology reminiscent of mid-evil Europe

    What a daft question. God created each thing alongside with time. God, with the aid of fact he's the appropriate Being is above and out of doors of each thing else. God has continually been. advent has not. enable's look at issues out of your pespective - each thing could have a reason and result. i flow to presume you're an atheist and which you suspect that each thing began with a super bang :) i'm sorry, i can't think of approximately that without giggling somewhat. besides, if each thing could have a reason, what brought about the vast bang? What went bang? until now the bang there could weren't something as not something existed suitable? Can not something explode to create each thing? consistent with probability not something would not have a reason or result. that's a real head scratcher brother. give up scratching your head and flow study the Holy Bible with an open strategies and heart. all the solutions are in there in spite of what the scoffers say. the actuality which you're asking the questions potential you're searching for solutions. do not in basic terms hear to the scoffers who're extremely happy to stay in lack of expertise and non secular blindness. in basic terms with the aid of fact this variety of excellent style of at the instant can not believe, it would not propose they're suitable.
