These are not cases of extinction. Christians wouldn't call the Second Coming "extinction" -- after all, you are getting eternal life :-/ I wouldn't call total uploading "extinction" either.
I would call Armageddon (as part of the Second Coming) extinction. And Christians would call forced total uploading extinction (as a form of death).
