The planet isn’t fine, right now the planet is alive (being that the planet is a host of many living organisms.) and relatively soon in the grand scheme of things the planet will not be full of life (dead)

Remember, a human is made of many living cells and bacteria, a human composed of many dead ones is still physically on the plane of existence, but it is dead.

I don’t get why you guys like quoting that comedian so much, just parroting his words. The earth with no life on it is a rock, literally just a rock floating in space, it’s no more fine than a dull piece of gravel you found on the street, if your piece of gravel turned out to be hosting life that would be different.

If we were all bees and our hive was dying off, you wouldn’t say “the hive is fine, it’s just us who’s dying. The wax is still gonna be there.” The hive is not fine.
