"They are talking of the end of the world in human terms. Our world in galactic terms is insignificant. Even were we to be hit with a "world killer" asteroid (unlikely but possible- in fact, we are around ninety million years overdue for such an event), it could wipe out humanity but would do insignificant damage to the earth. Our planet would simply "lie Fallow" for a while and then resume its course without annoying humans buggering it up.
It is unlikely that the planet "Earth" itself will vanish in the next few billion years. But those living upon it will adapt and change or die out. That is certain.
.. and I feeeel fiiiiine.♪
