Evolution has predisposed us to age and die because fitness is achieved more easily by fast reproduction than by long life. Aging is the result of a variety of deterioration processes. Therefore, it is unlikely that we will achieve biological immortality in the near future, in spite of a constantly increasing life span. However, we can still aim for cybernetic immortality: survival of our mental organization, rather than our material body.

We can live forever, if you accept Christ as our savior. People used to live to be over a 1000 Yr. old were not living longer.

where you?
the long life spans are based on older babylonian myths, the christians just borrowed yet another "religion"/myth to bolster their own "religion"!
the bible is just a mash-up of older "religions" myths and superstitions!!
sorry mate, but you have obviously had a wee google on the subject! (i have seen the same sites, but i choose the factual rather than the fancy) the flood and the age myths have been well and truly debunked! :-)
The flood changed life spans. Noah was the last to live over 900 yr. then because of a change life times lowered until medicine has brought us back some. Love, Randy
the illusion of life&death has to be fulfilled, because it is all we ever know, has anyone ever thought any differently, if reality is taken from thousands of options, created within a m/sec,and a different unrelated objective seizes our attention, then perhaps we can. this idea is not for shallow thinkers.

Micro evolution had nothing to do with the deterioration process. Consuming immaterial (spiritual) death did/does. There is a way around it though, and Jesus showed us the secret. Read up on how he did it in the New Testament, and He will reveal His secret of how you can be recreated and restored in Love, Peace, and Joy for eternity.

eerr, Randy, isn't that what your religion promises? and you tell me to dream on.
Priceless. :-)
a life form needs various components.. your memories are not 'you'. A life force field is needed, chakra points to contain your soul. Your life force is what moves your blood and gives you a pulse; when your pulse stops, it means you're dead.. no more life force.. anyone can tell when something is alive.. it is a trick of the mind to bring inanimate objects to life; as 'satan' does in practice.

The TRUTH is that we CAN live for eternity with Jesus. All you have to do is: Confess that you are a sinner, Ask Him for forgiveness, Ask Him to come into your life as your Lord and Savior. God loves Everyone, and Jesus was on earth and died on the cross for Everyone... but you have to ask Him into your life or face the consequences on the day you die. Really sad that alot of people don't get it or are too busy in their own little world to think about their future.
