The colosseum is almost 2000 years old, it's not getting eroded. At least not on a human time scale. Most of the damage present occurred during the Renaissance when people harvested marble from it for other stonework.
Also earthquakes.
What do you mean "not on a human scale"? In your lifetime? Arguably not, on a human scale, absolutely yes.
