A hundred years is nothing, so the human race will certainly survive. Whether our prospects will be brighter then than they are now, is the real question. Personally, I should imagine the entire planet's outlook will be somewhat bleak by then and the second half of the 21st century will likely be a time of great geopolitical upheaval and I'm glad I won't be around to see it it TBH.

Human evolution may be, in fact, an oxymoron.

Heh, just look at Nobama. He's a complete step backwards in every way.

"Disarm the world to prevent war"??? Yeah, tell that to Bin Laden. Or that freak from North Korea.

Some of Obama's proposed "presidential actions" border on outright stupidity. If that idiot gets elected, I'm packing my family for Canada. This place isn't going to be safe if you lived in one of those abandoned missile silos.

Or the United States, the world's most heavily armed military superpower.

B-b-b-but thats different, silly!

The US = Good, therefore its ok for them to possess WMDs, threaten others and invade whatever sovereign nations they wish.

Iraq, Iran, Aghanistan N Korea = BAD, ergo if they so much as fart in the wrong direction they get invaded.

DONT YOU GET IT?

Time to shoot both sides and start again. Creationist on one side and Greenpeace-leaning muppet on the other. That's a lose-lose scenario from where I'm sitting on the other side of a big pond. Hope no-one takes offence.

Just saw this and thought I should add my two pence. Yes the human race can survive for that length of time. I dunno if anyone mentioned this, but we [worldwide] have another stock of crude oil to last that amount of time. We are getting smarter and living longer so preserving our race for another 100 year is not that difficult I think.

Having mentioned all of those above, it feels it is a double-edged sword. It is only man who do not subscribe to the rule of nature - as population expand, there is usually several regulatory factors: diminish in food availability, strain on resources, war etc. There will come a time we will eventually reach the peak of all and something drastic will need to be done or we face a very big uncertainty.....even death of all mankind as we know it either through the use of powerful weapons to destroy our selves or we will eventually finish all the resources available for us to survive.
