4. Fundamentally, Nature simply moves forward in response to the laws of physics.

Humans are what they are as a result of their Evolutionary process. In many ways, we were incredibly fortunate to be equipped with so many survival talents. Yet, at the same time, it appears that our brains have developed some terrible flaws that are turning out to be fatal to life in general.

If it turns out the life dies on Earth, the Planet will still continue to respond to the physics as it always has. Ultimately, unless some as yet unknown phenomenon occurs, Earth with be enveloped by the expanding Sun as it turns into a red giant. The Big Bang continues to it's destiny.

There is a slim chance that humans might figure out better ways to live their lives. The "lottery of Evolution" continually rolls the dice.
