Biblically God promised not to flood the earth again, he said the next time it would be by fire.

It's like the poem "Fire and Ice." "Some say the world will end in fire, and some say ice. From what I know of men's desire, I hold with those who favor fire...." And from what I know of humankind's willingness to escalate conflict, nuclear fire is the mostly likely and probable end of human beings. There will be a burnt planet left behind, and all the scars that show some insufficiently stable form of humanoid life once existed here. And that's how earth will continue on, without us.
