Your religion may convince you we are special and protected but the fossil record shows us extinction is the rule, not the exception. Climate change, volcanos, microbes, and comets and all conspire to make us extinct if we stay on this one rock. If we spread out we have a much better chance of survival.
How does Christianity show that we are special and protected? God killed practically everyone off the face of the Earth with the global flood since evil had spread so much that innocent people were in danger, i.e. catastrophism.
I doubt living on Earth and its environment "conspire to make us extinct." Nowhere in our solar system is it better than planet Earth., i.e the Anthropic Principle. We had a global catastrophe in Noah's Flood and the Earth shows that, but we have come back.
Didn't your God promise to never send another flood? I guess we're better than the people of Noah's day. Didn't your God give man dominion over the plants and animals? Sounds special to me.
I wouldn't say we are better than the people of Noah's day from the end of world prophecies.
You are right. We won't have a global flood again, but we're scheduled for the end of world. Which is not an extinction event. It's just the end of "this" world.
Sometimes, I wonder what you learn about Christianity here. Yes, God gave Adam dominion of the world, but he lost it to Satan who is now "god of the world and prince of the power of the air."
