"Save the planet. Kill yourself."

No. First, I'd like to start off by saying I'm an atheist so I will not bring God into my reply. You're saying as if the Big Bang and evolution had a direction, it didn't, our human civilization is simply a coincedental formation from VERY LONG biological and chemical processes on an also coincedentally habitable planet (the Earth) for self-sustaining objects a.k.a. organisms. Nothing aided our eventual formation, just a butterfly effect of the proto-sun and early planetary collisions and this could happen anywhere else in the universe considering that it's a near-endless expanse all following the same laws of physics that govern our solar system and allowed for the formation of Earth. We are destroying everything around because we are, ironically, so advanced and anthropocentric as a species that we don't value anything outside our well-being, it's not evolution's nor the Big Bang's fault, just increasing population/religion/lack of education; it's easier blaming other things than ourselves. 

You're statement is very wrong when you say that humans have a lack of instinct. Sure, we don't live nomadic and eat raw meat anymore as our ancestors did doesn't mean we have lost our instinct. If you took an anatomy & physiology course in high school/college or if you already did take one and just forgot, humans (as well as most other multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms) posses a "sympathetic (fight/flight) nervous system," and reflexes which are in use during times of danger. The reflex part is self-explanatory, but when you're mad at someone or you're about to fight or runaway from a hairy situation, you're pupils dilating, anal canals/urethras shutting down, more intense heartbeat from arteries dilating, muscles fluffening up, and lungs expanding more is not a coincedence, it's all instict.

Therefore, I disagree.

Btw, I'm new to the forum, I've tried signing up months before but my Yahoo email was acting dumb so I signed up today using Gmail. 

Serious of not, this post is hilarious.

I would love to see a documentary called "The Origins of the Universe - From Spurge's Perspective". I imagine it would start off wlike this:

In the beginning there was God, The Big Bang and Evolution. All three were in a loving relationship for an infinite amount of time. But one day they all fell in love with the same girl. They fought over her so intensely that they created a large expansion that created the universe. With this new world created, the three beings each had different theories on what to fill it in with. To this day, there is still a constant power struggle between these beings. A star or planet is created whenever someone gets punched in the face. A black hole is created whenever someone gets kicked in the balls. This is how the universe began.

Please note that it is the inevitable fate of all species on Earth to melt into puddles of lava when the sun becomes a red giant. Humans are also the only species on Earth with the potential to change that and preserve Earth's ecosystems, and probably the only one with that potential Earth has ever evolved.

(No, seriously. The list of required traits for intelligence is LONG. Dawkins is quoted as saying it is reasonably unlikely Earth will evolve another intelligent species if we go extinct.) 

To personify the Earth, think of humans as an investment to save Earth's biomes from inevitable death. I'd say that investment is worth some serious risk. Our planet has certainly had mass extinctions for lesser causes.

You forgot Mother Nature! Who would carry the baby!?

My great great grandfather wrestled raptors. He went pro.

pass it to the left

Random ass lol

Yea the earth definitely could. But if we did become extinct on this planet, that will not mean that it would be the end of the human race.

@Spurgeonryan

It certainly is possible that if we go extinct another intelligent species will appear later. But we also have just 500 Million years for that to happen because the Sun gets gradually hotter and it took 500 Million years for us to emerge maybe it would not happen a second time.
