Add to that the fact that there have been at least 3 major extinction events where life miraculously returned
There have been 5 know major extinction events, and several minor ones. We are currently in the Sixth, known to be caused by human activity. Life didn't "return" persay because it never completely left. Some forms of life have survived each extinction: Crocodiles are known as the only large reptile to survive the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event and Sharks have survived the last 4 consecutively. Both are good examples of species who's ancestors remained because they survived in a niche that was simply unimpacted by the cause of the great extinction.
The Ordovician–Silurian extinction events saw the end of 70% of species
The Permian–Triassic extinction event, the largest of all time saw the end of 90-96% of all species on earth,
There has never been a point when all life on earth was killed then life spontaneously started again.
Humans, Cats, Bears, all mammals; are descendants of tiny mouse like creatures that were small enough to survive the extinction of the dinosaurs.
With much of life on earth gone, the few who survive multiply quickly with little competition until they run into each other.
lol little one, what is your damage?
This is the third time I've caught you trying harder than hard to turn my musings about some happening I'm not particularly attached to into smthg to fight about. You've hilariously misquoted me again.
And no, we're not in the middle of an extinction event rn. We might possibly be looking at the beginning of one. But we're still breeding like flies on shit. 100 000 deaths due to COVID 19 is a walk in the park.
As for the other species we've been killing off... maybe. That depends on how you define "extinction event."
What's the point you're arguing, anyway? There's no need to go bottom up with it bc I've considered myself an agnostic for most of my life. An argument about whose imaginary friends are better is one of the dumbest reasons I can think of to have a war, commit genocide, or even waste an afternoon squabbling on a forum.
