In Buddhism there is no specific destiny of the world. The cosmos may go through cycles, but there is no beginning or end. Buddha described the origin of the world much like a scientist would; being destroyed and re-evolving over time. Buddhists do not limit their minds to believe one person created the world and they believe the world will go on through reincarnation forever.

Buddhists believe that the world we experience with our every-day minds is really an illusion. After following the path or the Dharma, we can become enlightened, and understand the true nature of reality. That sort of understanding about the world is said to be a form of "waking up". When you wake up from sleep and remember a dream you were having, you realize that the mind that was dreaming was deluded about the true nature of reality: after all, in dreams we can fly and find that our hands have turned into claws or any other fantastic thing. "Waking up" into enlightenment will be like that. We'll look back on what we experience now as every-day reality as a dream. Buddhists also believe that all sentient beings have a Buddha Nature, and so are capable of awakening. All beings have an inherent compassion for all beings, and practicing the Dharma involves enabling ourselves to touch on that loving kindness all the time. Cultivating loving kindness and recognizing that the true source of suffering is attachment and aversion are the cornerstones to Buddhist practice.

Buddhists have no opinion on this question as they do not incorporate the concept of "god" into their beliefs.
