LOL just wondering? And no I don't believe in 2012 or anything like that, when it's related to religion.

We cannot calculate the odds because we do not have enough data. For example, if the Earth fell into a Black Hole, that would be the end for this planet. But we have no idea what is the number of Black Holes in our Universe.
So our best guesstimate would be to calculate how many days the Earth has existed WITHOUT meeting its end and conclude that the odds are probably smaller than its total number of days.of existence.
That s 4.5 billion years multiplied by 365...but the Earth was spinning faster in the past so there were more " days " during a year. Let s use an average of 500 " days " then.
4.5 billion X 500 would be 2250 billion. We can now assume that the odds are LESS than 1 in 2 250 000 000 000 each day.
Now, if you meant " the end of Mankind " when saying " the End of the World ", the odds are substantially MORE because we are just one species and millions of species disappeared during the time the Earth existed....

Unfortunately, we can only talk sensibly about the dangers we know about.
The planet could be hit by an asteroid, we could have an epidemic that wipes humanity off the planet, there could be a nuclear war ...
As to Gods smiting - well, we just don't know.
Unfortunately, the odds of these events happening are very difficult to compute - arguably far worse than trying to predict the weather.
But we DO know this: Human life is, at least until now, 100% terminal. Similarly, we do know that the Sun will eventually engulf us as a red giant or go nova (5 billion years or so). The odds of us making it that long are pretty poor, but if we do, and we haven't figured out how to survive and colonize space, we're doomed.
But that doesn't give you the odds for making it through tomorrow, does it?

100 percent. There will be a given day when the world ends.the day before the new world begins will also be the last day of this world.
