End of Planets?

So I don't know if this has been adressed, if it has I apologize. I got to thinking about how planets would end. What happpens when it does? Does a nearby sun go supernova and obliterate it? Does a diety come down to bring beings to salvation?

Personally I believe that the end of a planet should hinge on the predominant belief system which could cause variations in the end of the planet. Anybody care to comment on this?

Since belief systems would be largely arbitrary, the end of a planet would be spectacular through entirely natural phenomena-it could collide with a star, other planet, it's own moon, a comet, or an asteroid. It could also be scorched by a solar flare, torn apart by tidal forces, etc. - I believe we do have a disasters thread, though I can't seem to find it.

yeah i couldn't find it either so i thought i'd bring it up.

I kinda liked the idea of a diety coming down

In my opinion, a god who comes down and helps his people, I think that misses in a game that is as important topics in science and the evolution of the universe (in all its aspects, both physical and biological).

Please do not touch Thrive with religion.

Religion will be in the game, have you been onto the nation and strategy areas?

Yes, but I am not clear if religions are seen as normal stages of civilization of a species(as we had with us all the pagan religions and contemporary), or as a metaphysical something really existing.

oh right I get what you mean, I would say unless the religion was based on an alien species I don't think it would exist.

Its my fault, I could of made that clearer, so if the religion was based upon an alien species then the god could actually exist but if it wasn't then it wouldn't. Did that make more sense? (I'm not always the best at writing what I'm trying to say :P)

You mean that if religion is an alien religion, the god of this religion could exist?

Yeah if the god of the religion was an 'alien' than yes it could exist and in theory save the species that worships it from mass extinction on its home planet. Do you get what I mean now?

Yes I think so. You mean a god who was first a mortal?

Yeah or one that is technology advanced compare to the followers of the religion (When the Spanish met the mayans, they were in awe of them due to the difference in technology)

This is great, kinda what I was thinking.

It sounds plausible, right?

This sounds plausible to me. If the mortal they worship saves them, where would he take them? To another nearby planet?......this could inadverntley cause alien contact.

Yeah um this whole diety stuff, (just my opinion) but I think If You want to destroy a planet, it should be like spore, or like Sciocont said, "Natural Phenomena", like You either shoot out a beam from your space ship that blows up the dang planet or You just see it being screwed by a solar flare or Maybe it's own inhabitants make so many bombs and stuff that they cause like a nuclear chain reaction which blows it up, or they pollute uit so much that all the life on it dies but the planet itself it still there. Like seriously, I DESPISE All that diety stuff because religion gets in the way of people's lives and thats the main reason why people disrespect gay or lesbian people, plus it's just not realistic or even scientific in the very slightest! Not that I'm gay though I like women....

I respect that you don't really care for religion but religion is an integral part of civilizations.

But yeah, if its a mortal alien race, but not some crud like jesus, or atleast any alien version of him, ecause number 1:HE IS FREAKING DEAD!. So his life is over theres nothinwe can do about it, and I honestly believe even if we could, that'd just be wierd a hell, so.....yeah no jesus stuff but like what You said comparing us to the foreRunners for example.

Jesus?.....nothing was said about anybody coming back to life. This is a mortal creature they revere saving them. what do you mean the foreRunners?

Sorry it's just that My brother's friend's dad make his son only listen to christian music, and in the talent show he could only play a christian song and some other stupid stuff like that, I just thought it got in the way of the kid's freedom, so yeah..... but I do respect religion and actually read the bible a few times just cause I thought it was interesting, so I find it somewhat amusing, like a serious fairy tale if You will...no offense though, anyways lets get off this religious stuff cuz I don't wanna get anyone to hate me so yupidydup dup doo!

They could take them to another habitable planet in the solar system if any or the closest free planet.

I never meant anything like that. I just meant that an advanced race that are worshipped, nothing special just a technologically advanced species that can save the other species from demise.

oh. well I feel stupid now, You said a diety right? wait then what did you mean by a diety??? lol I feel very wierd now.....I emailed admin btw. asked him a few questions about himself. just cuz Yes You are right though, I would be talking ludicrous if I meant for no religion, I learned that word from avatar the legend of korra btw.
The forerunners from halo who are extremely advanced compared to us, they ontrolled the humans for a while, anyways I meant like what you said about a species who is god-like compared to the other species.

How so do You mean demise?
I was wondering, could this godlike species possibly, change the species religion?
