Allow me to summarize your argument:
'<activity> is <bad / inefficient> because an <efficient market / $DEITY> would already be doing it; <efficient market / $DEITY> is not doing <activity>, so eo ipso, <activity> is <bad / inefficient>.'
It seems unlikely to me that the market is really allocating resources appropriately with regard to existential threats because of the many collective action issues.
