So far, no species has survived forever.

This statement is meaningless.

Many species have survived many millions of years. 3000 years is a tiny timespan, relatively speaking.

Perhaps. But our capacity for destruction (in one form or another), to this planet is unequaled and unprecendented.

With our rate of advancement, 3000 years is more than enough time for us to wipe ourselves out. Our technological advances in just the past few years has exponententially superceded the past 100,000 years.

The key is whether or not we're intelligent enough to survive our own destruction. Cataclysmic destruction in one form or another will come within the next few hundred years minimum. It wouldn't suprise me if it was even in our lifetime.
