Living Forever?

[Kev]

Would you want to live forever? Apparently scientists believe that someone alive 'today' could become the first person to live to 1000 years old if medical advances continue at their present rate.

[victorialush]

nah, I would hate to watch everyone around me die whilst I just lived on and on and on...

People are living to 100 years at the moment?

bloomin Dorian Greys all over the shop these days ay ?:D

Of course that was a 'ickle mistake, i meant a thousand (1000)

[FKoE]

Maxie could make 2000 wiv a bowl of readybrek inside him :D

Nah, you'd see the world eventually and then be bored of the world and wouldn't be able to move on.

1000 might not be so bad, living too long nah.

Only your body dies anyway.

[Max]

As for long life, I've read In most stories of Ancient times the long life stuff was to do with tuning of Crystals.

Problem Is Science and Magic won't mix and both have too many frauds In them.

What would be cool though Is that you could stay the way you are In your twenties until you die so you don't rott and go wrinkily over the years until you die and are In need of constant operations.

Exactly. What the jesus would a 1000 year old person look like? I'm no scientician and call me a sceptic but I don't believe they can make a person live for 1000 years in the next 80 or so years. Imagine how badly that would effect the population, loads of 800 year olds hobbling around, scientists say the world is only fit for around 3 billion (or less maybe) people anyway. Also imagine the families! You could have a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandad :rolleyes: .

I'd like it though just out of human curiosity, what will liverpool be like in 500 years, will it be underwater like they say? I could see the whole world, the moon, other planets and watch as new discoveries are made, a cure for cancer, aids. On the other hand I could watch the extinction of thousands of species of animals, watch god knows how many wars, see and experience horrible things I wouldn't have done normally. And of course the ultimate discovery for the curious would be missed out on - what happens when you die. Personally I think we are just organisms which stop functioning and thats that - but I still want to know (even though I wouldn't 'know' if I'm right!:disgust:).

What will Liverpool be like in 500 years time? Hopefully they'll have removed the old sunken landing stage and have got in place the new one!!

As long as the city isn't still cashing in on the Beatles and talking about when it was the second city of the (British) empire, and the inner city has by then been joined to the rest of the city - it won't be all bad.

[Max]

If were just Organisms Twiz then what explains our views, likes and dislikes for things, our difference of opinions which goes with view too and many other things In this world?

[Max]

Liverpool In 500 years will have flying Scallies stealing our jetpowered cars and crashing them Into huge 500ft Golden Beatles statues, which will be also thought of as our gods!

The brain. Thats where they come from. Being 'just' organisms doesn't mean we cant all be individual - don't think of an organism as a simple thing, it's what we are, we happen to be very complex and intelligent but at the end of the day we are no more significant than a plant - were born, we live, we die.

What gives the brain the ability though? what gives Cells their ability?

Why would the brain make someone think they used to be someone else or Influences?

The Brains just meat so what gives It, It's thinking ability?

What gave people the Ideas of making up things like Religion and civilisation?

Well I can't properly answer the first 2 questions but I'd have a stab in the dark and guess that it's 1. Planet earth being perfect for our type of life to thrive - I don't know how life begins, ask a scientist. 2. evolution, imo what we are now started off as a cell which multiplied and evolved for millions of years, our body is perfect for our environment, we are surrounded by water so our body is dependant on it, we get lots of light from the sun so we use eyes as our (arguably?) main sense. It's no coincidence that we are the way we are it's evolution.

"Why would the brain make someone think they used to be someone else or Influences?" - I have no idea, afterall we don't know everything about ourselves but a scientist would probably give you a theory or two.

"The Brains just meat so what gives It, It's thinking ability?" Hardly 'just meat', hard to explain but I don't think there is any such thing as meat - it's a man made thing. Meat used to be a functioning part of an animals/persons body before it gets chopped off them and dies. It's used for things - keeping warm, fat reserves, protecting arteries and veins, even organs are used by us as meat - the liver for example. What gives us our thinking ability? Well it isn't anything magic or spiritual, it's brain cells, nerves etc - imo nothing to do with god or any supernatural being.

"What gave people the Ideas of making up things like Religion and civilisation?" Possibly a total lack of understanding of the human body and a slight attempt at philosophy asking 'where did we come from?'. When we make things we know where they came from because we made them! we created them, so the easy answer to where we come from would be to say we also were created, where the idea came from that it was a 'god' who created us I don't know.

Also possibly religion was used by ancient leaders to scare the population into behaving and acting with proper morals - or else they wouldnt just go to prison, they would to go a firey hell and be tortured to eternity (who isn't that going to scare?!). Civilization was surely driven by necessity and growing intelligence.

--

Let me just say that I'm not totally closed minded to the idea of a heaven, afterlife or god, it's just that I don't believe it. In my opinion science has argued a much better case than religion for a long time. The ability to say 'We were wrong' or 'We just don't know' and the fact that almost everything is theory but is tested and tested and tried by other scientists attracts me to believe science. Where a scientist can spend his life arguing a theory only to find he was wrong can congratulate the scientist who proved him wrong and be happy that science is a step closer to the truth, religion does not allow any such nonsense as being wrong - what the holy book says is the way it is, anybody suggesting otherwise is wrong and evil.

[Max]

What gives the brain cells the ability though?

Not so sure about evolution, what causes evolution?

If theirs a lack of total understanding of the human body then what gave them the obvious logic of thinking a god created them?

Science and Occult need to both come together.

[The Teardrop Explodes]

..but science disproves the occult to all but those who don't want to believe the science.

[Max]

Since when does Science disprove the Occult?

[The Teardrop Explodes]

It's been ****in on it's chips since man first struck fire and before that to the Big Bang itself.

It's ongoing- big job like.

[Max]

Hardly, Science doesn't understand the Occult.

[The Teardrop Explodes]

Science has no occult to understand because there is no occult, only tomorrow's science.

You should look up the new discoveries of the quantum world.

So because you and some of Science believe there Is no Occult makes It true?
