War VS Peace

If you had to choose, would you have Earth be in peace, but only you and a girl would be left of the human race, or would you condemn humanity to 100 years of world war?
Hard question on the face of it but you have to consider population viability. For instance after the Toba event human population was postulated to have dropped to 70000 individuals which was barely enough to maintain a healthy gene pool ( you might check out mitochondrial Eve) so unlikely as it seems I'd have to pick the war option if enough were left to healthfully procreate.
I want perfect earth.
All people worship & love & obey God
All humans love each other (no free sex, no lgbt relationship)
All people live happily, no war, no crimes, no bullying
All people work with their talents
No poverty
I would choose to move to an parallel world of Earth along with everyone else.

For me perfect Earth is more like:
All humans broke free from religions long ago.
Absolute sexual freedom for all.
No bigots, no homophobes, no intolerance.
All people live happily, no war, no crimes, no bullying.
All people work with their talents if they want to.
No poverty.
I already have 11 years of patience
Never hurt anyone

Hope this continues
Although many people fights with me
But I will like to leave in peace

Who said we were all guys :p

Jokes aside, I would probably choose to have 100 years of world war. Wars aren’t entirely deadly, many deaths in warfare come from living in harsh environments. In modern times, with advanced resources and medicine, deaths by disease and natural cause will be limited, making the “death toll” much lower. By the end of the 100 years, we may actually grow in population, assuming no nukes were used :/
If we survive, we would be advanced in technology, and continue growing for the years to come.
If I was left with 1 other person, humanity would have to restart. The lack of genetic diversity will leave future humans with genetic dysfunctions. We likely would not be able to re-create an advanced civilization like this again. We could just be waiting for a mass extinction to happen; many are overdue. We would not be able to stop it, nor know what causes it. Our ability to survive is limited, as humans are generally weak, only making up for it by our intelligence.
I would obviously choose war :P because we cannot avoid war anyways even if we start from 0, war is a part of life that is inevitable, plus even if we do war for 100 years we would end up with more people than if you start from 0
