Humans a ‘mistake,’ young people say

It’s very likely marriage will be out the door in 25 years.

LOL.

Marriage as an institution will never die cause the church will never die. God preserves us.

If you don’t follow Christ you have a death style. The extinction of those who don’t have a biblical world view is inevitable.

Let us take heart and have and rear our children with hope and happiness. Perhaps some raised to fear the climate and hate humanity will get a clue.

LOLOL!!!

I am somewhat with the anthropic principle however I wasn’t really pointing towards that in particular.

I was talking about the odds, the chance of Earth getting hit again by another extinction event asteroid. Earth’s had four or five extinction events in the 4.45 billion year existence of earth (as determined by radiometric dating). The moon has some impressive cratering. We have erosion and could have had similar instances of cratering, so we’ll never know, but the moon provides a good modke of note.

Also, as The Milky Way travels through space we are coming into areas of space that the Milky Way has never been in and there’s no telling what kind of debris is out there waiting for us to come across its path or vice versa.

But I’m betting on volcanic, seismic activity, tectonic plate subduction, inevitable weather... Before a sizable asteroid strike. Given the amount of time involved and the amount of space we travel through and the amount of debris in that space. It has to be close to inevitable.

When? There are geological markers.

We also have a couple of gravity wells - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune covering for us.

You are committing a very basic error in thinking - probably due to a lack of expertise in the field of Astronomy. I.e., you are suffering from the "Anti-Proximity Bias."

Intergalactic space is extremely rarified (i.e., interstellar space is virtually empty), and the distance between galaxies is immense. Even galaxies themselves have an extremely low density; galaxies can quite easily pass through one another without much disturbance - at most resulting in gravitational perturbations (Astronomers have photographic evidence of this). Interplanetary space is dense, by comparison - but it is still not at all like the "asteroid field" you saw in "The Empire Strikes Back." The risk of collision can be safely ignored.

You are greatly exaggerating the hazard posed by distant objects; conversely, you are understating the danger posed by near objects.

The Earth will undoubtedly be struck again by some celestial object, resulting in another mass-extinction event. In all likelihood, that celestial object will stem from our own Solar System (prob. Oort's Cloud).

Additionally, there are other risks: Nearby supernovae, volcanic activity, etc.

And a lot of them are not having sex.

Which you kind of need for children.

Let's not even mention that you should be married as well.

I am happy that my family seems to be bucking the trend.

We will be welcoming another addition to the Bear Clan in January.

Welcome to the world to my grandnephew.

Those who feel that humans are a mistake should be the first to take themselves out.

Occasionally an asteroid does get through as witnessed by the craters on the moon and of course of the craters that we have not quite lost to erosion here on terra firma.

My “prediction” is based on how old the universe currently is and all that has occurred in that time including collisions. And it’s not even a “prediction” it’s an inevitability.

It only stands to reason that there is another asteroid out there with Earth’s name on it.

Personally I’m not betting on a naturally occurring disaster, because if I was a wagering man I would put my money on some idiot with a nuclear device before we are struck with another extinction event.

Recall the Saganesque quote “extinction is the rule, survival is the exception”

Misanthropy

Misanthropy is the general hatred, dislike, distrust or contempt of the human species. This seems to be what most leftists believe and it is why they do what they do. It is like a religious belief.
