Scientifically speaking, what would be the most realistic Earth ending event to happen in the next 20 years? Secondly, what is the likely hood of a solar flare event?

Magnetic pole reversal or collapse.
Solar ejections
Gamma ray burst from other solar system.
Viruses
Aliens

The only candidates in the next 20 years for something earth-ending is shit we cannot at all predict or see coming like vacuum metastability events, a rogue BH, or a GRB.
Life-ending, ditto.
Human civilization ending, nuclear war. And even that's still a big maybe. Only other risk to human civilization is a freak mutation of a pathogen, or "2 weeks" being real.

>realistic Earth ending event
Your question is not clear. Ending all human life, all life, totally destroying the earth into pieces? To totally "end" the earth the only possibility is a gigantic asteroid or the sun explodes. What else is big enough to destroy the whole earth? If you are asking about some type of catastrophic event that kills say 90% of all life, then its an asteroid, gamma ray burst, or massive volcanic eruption where dust blocks the sun and the earth freezes.

I think this is the most likely.
