Thread: Eternal Life, Would You?

Not true. The idea of evolution is that if you are able to procreate, that means you out competed the competition and thereby have successful traits to pass on.

I would probably choose to live forever but do dangerous/adventurous/exciting things with high risk factors. The idea of eternal anything sounds terrible to me (one of the reasons I choose atheism over religion). Even love, one of the greatest feelings ever, gets old. Nothing lasts forever for a reason.

lol sorry what

That is the most terrible reason for being an atheist i have ever heard

I mean, to begin with eternity is generally understood in theological circles to denote something extra-temporal; let alone the long list of similarly poor exegeses implied by this statement
