And then we, like the dinosaurs, will be no more except fossils in the
ground and the earth will keep spinning, the sun will keeo shining (for
a while) and the universe will go on until the next Big Bang...all
things end...accept that...we are not infite beings..


That may just be the strangest non-argument I've read, it basically says
that because the dinosaurs became extinct, it's perfectly fine for
mankind to hasten his extinction and we should do nothing to prevent it.
It amounts to propounding mass suicide.
