Man can never be destroyed nor defeated. Civilizations end and cultures vanish because they are, like anything else, complex systems of uniquely human adaptation that collapse because the development in that particular direction isn't sustainable anymore (due to various economic or social reasons) - just think about the direction we're heading right now and the sustainability of the of way of life in the developed world!
So civilizations can disappear, people diminish in numbers or migrate, cultures have cycles of ascent and decline - human adaptation to the environment changes in cycles because the environment (the natural, the social, or both) itself changes.
Despite all the warfare and genocide through history, humans were pretty much incapable of destroying themselves completely, as in wiping out the last human on the face of the planet.....
..... up until now? I doubt we're capable of it even today, despite all the cataclysmic predictions. Humans are survivors.

Wow. That's a really deep question! I would have to say that Man can be defeated. By being destroyed he is defeated. But being in spirit, they can't be destroyed. It's both ways physically and spiritually.That is a really good question, and I could go on for hours to talk about it.
Great Question though!

Man is defeated but goes on to fight another day because he never learns the lessons of history.

The reason why is that once a man has been destroyed, it becomes moot to attempt to defeat him.

I would think that destroyed and defeated mean the same thing.

Perhaps we are being periodically harvested by aliens who leave just enough stock for regeneration, it must be about time for it to happen again, Keep your eye on the sky.

Man continues to take more rope, so give 'em time and sooner or later he will be "hanged for the last time," but then it will truly be..."The End" (no Hollywood ending)
