Actually, humans paradoxically could be the best chance of the Earth's biosphere perpetuating itself. Maybe right now we're a mess, even the cause of a mass extinction. But, we're also smart enough to catalogue and archive DNA, and we're actively trying to fix our own messes now as they happen, conserving and restoring past damage and damage in progress.
In the future, we can transplant life from Earth to other worlds, populating first nearby places like a terraformed Mars. Millions of years from now, we could seed other worlds beyond the solar system, making the descendants of humanity in essence the gametes of Earth's biosphere. A half a billion years from now, when Earth is no longer inhabitable due to the heat of the expanding sun, perhaps our descendents will have spread Earth's DNA to thousands of other worlds. Or, perhaps we will be able to move the Earth or refuel the sun's hydrogen, pushing back its expansion and maintaining Earth's viability. This sounds far-fetched today, when people still die of old age and genetic engineering is a sin against God, but I'm an optimist and a long-term thinker.

This really gave me tears, what a beautiful thing. When I graduated from high school, I remember two of my good friends, two really bright and friendly guys, wore shirts with 'Free Hugs' and yellow smiley faces. I got hugged twice that dayAki wrote:This managed to knock my faith in humanity/opinion of it up a few notches.

That's Awesome!
My friends at work think I'm a little strange for being so willing to give Anyone a hug who asks for it, or looks like they need it.
It's statements like that which make me think that it's good to be a little wierd.
Humanity is great though...
...just think of all of the greatest, most beautiful music, the most emotional stories, and the most inspiring visual art you have ever seen. None of that would have ever existed if not for the Human Race.
Yeah...Homo Sapiens aren't so bad after all.

That video showed a really beautiful thing. Yep, maybe humankind ain't that bad. Even if we're solving mostly the problems that wouldn't have existed without us.
But all the art, in form of music, visual art and wonderful stories... they make life worth living.
...I got to find a "free hugs"-T-shirt.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Or, in the other hand, we and the whole biosphere of Earth may be dead in couple of decades.

All in all, odds are against humans and life. But, then again, so they have always been.

There will be NO pessamism and negativity within THIS thread.

One nice thing about humanity: My lovely mate. Because when he saw someone crying in the park he wanted to go help and see if they were OK. Whereas I shrugged it off, not caring. It was their own problem. Perhaps the majority of humans are too cold and need to be more friendly and warm, even to strangers. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)
