Do you believe any of your descendants will be here 10,000 years from now, or will the human race be extinct?

Question

With so many prophets of doom around, do you believe the human race will survive into the indefinite future?

Answer 1

That many years back in history, humanity was archaic, homo sari ans' have only been a viable species for 40.000 years,...we've came from stone chips, to standing on the moon, and air-mailing a craft out of our solar system,... i don't expect we are going to wind up 'in-dangered. in a matter of 10.000 years.
Considering the journey humanity has evolved along over that short time, and considering that the dinosaurs survived a far more dynamic earth than is this one we have inherited, and that the Triassic period lasted 40 -50-60 million years, with a vastly far more 'natural' variety of cataclysmic alterations on, and in, and above the earth, i suspect the humans of ten thousand years from now will simply resent us for our near sightedness and our incompetence.
We humans have a long but dubious future , ... the uncertainty's visited on our coming generations will be in part a legacy of exhausted resources, and an ever increasing demand on our ingenuity.
Dooms day profits over look the tenacity of life, the vibrancy of humanity's intellect, and the unpredictability of the mother of it all, NATURE.
I suspect the tendency to credit 'god' for the difficulty's and the accomplishments of this species will endure how ever. We have always been conscious of our spiritual natures, and we will no doubt continue to acknowledge it in these years to come.
Undoubtedly, our cognition of the earth, and our concepts of 'god' will both reach a point of natural compatibility, tho. That is surely going to be a horrendous transition for the coming generations.
Thankfully, our life expectancy will excuse each generation from having to withstand the turmoil that is going to be in that transitional period of time and environments.

Answer 2

While I applaud my esteemed college for his many contributions to the field of Astrology & Physics.I must say that there are many variables to anything occurring with regard to total extinction of the human race in 200yrs.. We are always on the cutting edge of new discoveries in Medicine & Motor Technologies that can easily propel us forward into space travel and new habitats in other galaxies. New energy sources and the development of various hyper drives can also give promise to our survival in the future..It is a warning for us to make changes now or run the risk of extinction and I believe we all know what needs to done..:)

Answer 3

No. If you can comprehend the changes in the last 500 years, much less the last 100 years, I think you'll find very little to hope for.
If by some chance there are people here, I don't think it will be a very pleasant place.

Answer 4

If we learn from history we may, but up to now we are not doing a good job of it, we keep repeating the same mistakes.

Answer 5

i seriously doubt it, looking at how the NEAR future is turning out.

Answer 6

i think global warming will have occured by then unless they cut down on gas and all the other things
