Life will most likely thrive again should the earth system wipe it out again almost completely, there is a scientific consensus based on solid evidences and sound theories. But at geological scale.
However the same scientific approach don't support that much that humans are immune to extinction and even less that a similar species would ever appear again through evolution. Mass extinction is here, there is no scientifically compliant way to deny it. Human species are not independent of the rest of biological ecosystems. If they collapse, we fall with them. We don't have technologies to resurrect these complexe systems, even through magic hacks we could use without a sound theory to reason about how it works. We only have the poor technology that allow to destroy it.
To make a IT technology analogy, it's like we master the stone technology and a fleet of advanced computer are all around, artifacts of disappeared civilisation. That is, we can easily employ our technological stack to destroy any computer we encounter, and we will have little to no resistance from them. We can interact with computers, though we have no idea of how they really work internally or together as a networked system.
