There is no 'necessity' to continue the human species.
Happy?

I'm believer it's irrelevant to me just like evolution.

I always knew theists were not part of the human species.

I don't, Im just asking logical proof of necessity of continuation of human race  from atheist viewpoint

We don't choose to continue because we carefully ponder the benefits to the universe of our continuing.  We continue because it is in the nature of evolved things to continue-- a desire to survive individually, to reproduce, to take care of offspring (at least among people).  The reason for this is obvious-- people who do not have the desire to survive and to procreate get filtered out of the DNA pool.

Your question is broken, because you haven't demonstrated a NEED for "logical proof of necessity of continuation of human race."  Instinct is sufficient, and requires no confirmation.

So, let me get this straight, the OP asks us to consider that - WW2..the holocaust, might have been a greater moral good, and at least no greater moral evil..than the continuation of the human race? 

 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I tell my naïve 87 year old mother in law that in the next 100 years, 6 billion people will die!
She looks at me like I'm trying to scare her with a world war or zombie plague or something so she laughs it off like I'm joking.

Then I tell her, no, they will all die of old age...
She still didn't get it. (Truthfully, I don't think she knows what a "billion" means)

Judging from this post, you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground about it.
Explain to me logically why human race should continue while billions of people die?
I need organ transplant donors.

Because your species is not one organism but group of individuals that have to die with every new generation to keep your species going.

First of all, Christianity teaches that things will get gradually worse and that most people will be fooled to accept an ant Christ as a leader. Accepting this leader will cause many billions of people untold suffering for eternity. Why would you risk that your children or grandchildren or great grandchildren will suffer torment forever and ever
You should tell that to Christians
I notice that you are using "your species". Do you think that you are not homo sapien?
