Why woundn't anyone drop the atomic bomb to end life on earth?

Your question assumes someone would not blow up the world with atomic bombs. That is a fallacy. There are a few humans in this world who would be insane enough to issue enough nuclear bombs in order to destroy the world. They would not be considered "sane rational people" by the rest of the world. Humanity wants to preserve itself. Therefore people are not inclined to "blow up the world". If a poll was taken around the world you would probably learn that people do not want to end the world via nuclear elimination. They want to live and enjoy peace around the world. That is why people would NOT blow up the world with atomic weapons.

What were the pros and cons of dropping the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Making Japan surrender to end World War 2 was the only pro to the bombing. The main cons are that 135,000 of mostly civilians died as a result, and in particular, the second bomb was probably not even necessary. Lots of second guessing by people not having to live through the war is not really all that helpful, but it is good to reflect upon arguably bad decisions that have been made and to try not to repeat them.
