To answer such questions, it will be a help for us to know

Who has the answers. Is it the atheist s? Is it evolution? Or does Science have the answer ? well all claim to have answers, at least insofar as death due to aging is concerned. But the Bible does have all the answers.
But there are more lies told about the dead than the living, that no one seem to agree on the subject.

Elderman, If I understand you correctly, what you are saying is that 19 centuries of devotion to 'god' has done nothing to extend man's average lifespan but a century of medical advances based on logical thought and scientific studies has increased the average lifespan(in the USA) by 50%. If you are making a point other than the obvious, please tell.
If no one died it would be a bit crowded 'down here' by now !

If you were a doctor who found a permanent cure for every disease, would you use it? Nobel prizes are awarded to men of medicine who bring only a fraction of such benefits. But whatever doctors can do to ease pain, to halt the spread of disease, and to add a few years to one’s lifespan, the hard fact remains that inevitably sickness, old age and death come on relentlessly—to all.

But if people did not get sick, or grow old, then they would not die. And that will be the case. No sane persons really want to die. Under Kingdom rule they will not have to, since the promise is: “Death will be no more.” (Rev. 21:4) Thus, “the righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.” (Ps. 37:29)
Are you sure that you can not be sane and yet still decide there is nothing worthwhile left to live for ? I'm unsure that is true. What happens when everything is a case of "been there, done that, bored with it now" ?

I see your point you haven't lived yet,if that the way you feel.
Elderman .. 4 months ago I was told that I had terminal lung cancer. I didn't think 'oh my god i'm going to die' , I thought what can I do to make my widow's life as comfortable as possible and assure her future? As it happens the diagnosis was wrong.

Please to hear, But how thrilling the account of the future is! It is true that we do not have every detail, but neither do we need such. What we do have is more than enough to follow the fast-moving events that, even now, are beginning to unfold all around us.. However, such things need not worry us, as if that kind of information were necessary in order for us to maintain our faith in the grand promises of God. Instead, we should think of what an advantage we have over a world that does not have even one detail of what tomorrow will bring, much less a vision extending a thousand years into the future! How grateful we should be that, if we confidently trust in God, we have every reason to look forward to what lies ahead! As He himself stated it: “Blessed is the able-bodied man who puts his trust in......, and whose confidence .........has become.” (Jer. 17:7)
Elderman you are becoming a bigger fruitcake by the day.

People like you have got excited about the imminent arrival of God's Kingdom for centuries and absolutely nothing has happened. You will die one day and still nothing will have happened.
Elderman, you are living your own little warped world! good luck with it :)

No, While it is true that when men die, they are dead unconscious and cannot experience any sensation, but the Scriptures offer the grand hope of a resurrection from death. “Do not marvel at this,” Jesus Christ said, “because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” Although death is a terrible enemy, how comforting it is to know of God’s wonderful promise of a resurrection to life!—John 5:28, 29.

When man was created, God set no limit on his life span as was done with animals. Man had the prospect of eternal life ahead of him. His body was designed to continue functioning indefinitely. Because of disobedience the first man lost that prospect. A limit was now set to his life span that he could not exceed although his body had the potential of being able to live forever. That limit was a symbolic day of one thousand years. When telling man not to eat of a certain tree God said: “In the day you eat from it you will positively die.” (Gen. 2:17) Adam died within that thousand-year day at the age of 930 years.
Adam could not pass on to his offspring what he no longer had. He could not give them an endless life span. All his descendants have inherited his sin and its companion, death, just as certain diseases may be inherited from one’s parents. “That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned.”(Rom. 5:12) There was absolutely no way that man could free himself from the effects of Adam’s sin and never die. “Not one of them can by any means redeem even a brother, nor give to God a ransom for him.”( Ps. 49:7) But man can look only to God for release from Adamic sin and death. He alone can open the way for man to regain the perfection and the prospect of an endless life that Adam lost.

Yes ,Recognizing the time of deplorable state, you can understand that today is hardly the time to give high priority to laughter. It is not the time to live only for recreation and entertainment or to allow “having fun” to take precedence over the pursuit of your life.
Jewsus said "the hour is coming".

Seventeen million hours later and still it hasn't arrived.
Having fun is shown by medical research to be one of the most important parts of living a healthy life.
Jewsus, what an insightful fat-fingered typo!
The human body is subject to exactly the same mechanisms of aging as all other animals. Our bodies never had the capacity of eternal life and there is no evidence that anyone ever lived to anywhere near 1000 years old.

The only place this rubbish is put forward is in a stupid old book of stoneage myths that are in stark conflict with observed reality.

Then you say I live in a different world, more like you do.
Elderman, can't you do better than that?
No "he" can't because Elderman is not a human but a robotic responder designed to compose posts using an algorithm to select from stock phrases based on previous posts.

Sorry development team but your game is up. However I will commend you on having gotten this far.

The Goodlife build is pretty good too.

beso........who is incapable of understanding simple concepts such .........then please continue.

It is interesting that scientists do not view aging and death as inevitable, but rather as a disease they hope to cure. And when scientists study the design of humans, they are baffled. They find that we have been endowed with resources and capabilities that far exceed the needs of our 70- to 80-year life span. For example, scientists have found that the human brain has immense memory capacity. One researcher estimated that our brain can hold information that “would fill some twenty million volumes, as many as in the world’s largest libraries.” Some neuroscientists figure that during an average lifetime, a person uses only 1/100 of 1 percent (.0001) of his potential brain capacity. It is appropriate to ask, ‘Why do we have a brain with such a large capacity when we utilize only a tiny fraction of it in an average lifetime?’
Yes, and despite the amazing advances of modern science, biologists’ questions about why we grow old and die remain largely unanswered. Said The Guardian Weekly of London: “One of the great mysteries of medical science has been not why people die of cardiovascular disease or cancer: it was why they die even when there is nothing wrong at all. If human cells divide, and go on renewing themselves by division for 70 years or so, why should they suddenly stop replicating all at once?”

Yes,You really don't have a clue do you?
But see your point you haven't lived yet,if that the way you feel
