BLURB: The idea that humans are ephemeral compared to the workings of nature isn’t as persuasive as it once was....

What about deep future time? How much time is left for humanity on this planetary orb? Could not nature destroy the planet in a few seconds (i.e. asteroid hit)? 

I'm perfectly content to include humans as naturally occurring and as to what we do, I think it all natural as well.
