How Long Can We Live ?

How long can we live ? Can we extend human life to 150 years? 1000 years? or even forever? A cynic would say that you are crazy to believe that you can really live that long, let alone forever. Well, I am one of these 'crazy' people.

However, I believe longevity and eventually immortality would be achieved through advanced science and bio-technology, not by waving a magic wand. It would be a 'scientific miracle', not a 'religious miracle'. 

Now, believe it or not, it was recorded that there was a man Li Ching-Yuen in China, who was born in 1677 and died in 1933. He lived 256 years. In the Old Testament, it was recorded that there were people who lived more than 900 years ( for example, Adam at 930 years, and Methuselah at 969 years ). 

Do you believe in Science or Religion, or both ? Do you believe that we can stay young and healthy for a very long time, and that it is no longer a pipe dream?

  1. I don't *believe* in Science nor religion. For religion, they are man-made fictions. For science, there are compelling evidence that believing (as in without evidence) is completely unnecessary.

    People who have grown out of childhood know the "Chinese whisper" game. As messages are passed along by different people, the messages will be modified and changed.

    BTW, Adam and Eve did not exist and we human are not the descendents of only two individuals.
