Most probable Extinction event?

Been wondering. (as an extrapolation from other topics)
What are your thoughts on human civilization.

Do most people here really believe we'll go the distance and die out only when the sun runs out of fuel?
By that stage, I'd imagine that we would unrecognisable as humans anyway and may have left earth long before.

If we did perish before that (dead sun), what do you believe would be the most likely cause.

I actually want to ask a "psych" question.
Let's assume that tomorrow, we discover a whopper asteroid hurtling straight towards earth!
This is one that is thousands of miles wide!
Does anyone know how far out we can accurately measure these things? We will have a month's notice, 5 years?

What would we our humans do? As Govt's. As individuals?
do you think we can recover from it?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
