Indeed - people talk of something-or-other causing "the end of Life on Earth", but in fact it is very very 
unlikely that Life will be wiped out.  Human life, yes, but that leaves an awful lot of other species!  Just 
like when the dinosaurs disappeared, other types of life will take over - that's the way it goes!  It's 
incredibly arrogant to think that Life == Human life, although I must admit that an awful lot of people do 
thnk like this, not seeing the bigger picture.
