Living things have seen disasters on this earth that make anything humans can do look like a scratch. Life [i]as we know it[/i] could be over, humans could possibly eradicate themselves. However, I sincerely doubt we have the ability to kill off every living thing.

With all the combined nuclear warheads we have we could probably make all life anywhere impossible, unless some drastic leap in evolution causes life to be impervious to radiation but seeing how that's extremely unlikely and will take thousands of years so basically by the time life evolves to live with the radiation it'll fizzile out

[quote]D. radiodurans is capable of withstanding an acute dose of 5,000 grays (Gy), or 500,000 rad, of ionizing radiation with almost no loss of viability, and an acute dose of 15,000 Gy with 37% viability.[10][11][12] A dose of 5,000 Gy is estimated to introduce several hundred double-strand breaks (DSBs) into the organism's DNA (~0.005 DSB/Gy/Mbp (haploid genome)). For comparison, a chest X-ray or Apollo mission involves about 1 mGy, 5 Gy can kill a human, 200-800 Gy will kill E. coli, and over 4,000 Gy will kill the radiation-resistant tardigrade.[/quote] Do what now?
