Unfortunately the fact of the matter is, where is the evidence?

Did the catalyst used any examples at all?

The geth example was self defence or reaper indoctrination. Even with Javik example, here was the thing, 'Zha'til' (who Javik compared to the Geth) became violent after the reaper came and controlled them so it was only reaper intervention that made them violent. Even with reaper intervention, the prothean destroyed them and therefore no risk of wiping out organic life

So the geth were only violent in self-defence or with reaper interventions and we could end up making peace with them. The Zha'til was only violent with reaper intervention and we don't know whether they would have wiped out organic if the reaper didn't control them. the catalyst didn't provide any examples from previous cycle. So yeah, I believe we have the right to call bull shit on the catalyst.

Why should Shepard accept anything the catalyst say and take the catalyst words from it when shepard experience is far different than the catalyst and the catalyst provide no evidence or even produced an example from earlier time period

Of course even the idea that synthetic are destined to wiped out organic life seems far fetch. For the starchild to be so certain of this to be so absolutely assured of thi, it must have happened at some point in the history of the galaxy. However, if "all" organic life was extinguished at any point in time, organic life would not presently exist.
