On a scale 1-100 in believing in infinity I'm at 60+ .. do I think forever exists ? probably so .. but then again, if it exists .. then everything ever is possible and has happened or will happen.. I view the universe as the mind of God. Our footprint on earth will echo on forever, so in those regards we will last forever. I don't think we're just subjected to being grounded here. I can't think with the concept of eternal nothingness after this life, but I can see living some sort of reality again perhaps eons from now. After death it appears to be like a idleness of nothing for definite period of time, although the only thing guaranteed is change. All life has the same beginning origins, and that connection brings it all together. If you go back 1million years or 40 000 generations (each generation is considered 25 years), your chance of being born is at most 1 in 1.8 x 10403167 or 18 with 403,166 zeros after the 1. The chances of us being alive right now in this very moment is almost impossible.. its where infinity comes in I'd think. Judging at the infinite amount of time that's in forever, of different universes , different forms of reality , etc .. would I want to live it ? I think only God can do that. Maybe we are apart of God.

that's alot of complex stuff, I think he just wanted to post his joke website.

Incomprehensibly complex...

I think I wouldn't want to live forever . Living is a bit over rated some times. I'd not want to live longer than my loved ones anyway... what would be the point of immortality if you lived to watch every one of the people you love die while you can't die with them. I'm pretty sure I'd rather be dead than have to watch all of that .

You can buy a pair of Alex Chiu's immortality rings here and live forever using them. I've used them for two years and have had decent results from them.

And no, I wouldn't. I can think of little worse a fate than having to continue on with the tedium of daily life forever. Not to mention that I don't expect I'll like the direction humanity is taking, at least in the short-term.

It depends. I definitely wouldn't want to grow older and older, and I wouldn't wouldn't want to be floating around in a vacuum in 10 billion years time for eternity. I would like to live forever if I was omnipotent, definitely.

As it is, I emotionally really, really don't want to die, dying scares the s**t out of me because I know that people have as much metaphysical knowledge as a turnip. Intellectually, I know I must and I will try to do so in a dignified manner well before I start ageing. I'd hate to die a sick, pathetic thing in a hospital bed

I'd love to live forever. I'd also like to stay young in the process, as well.

I'd hate living forever. However, I want to have what is considered a "long life" in today's society (at least 85 years old).

But back to the OP.

Two years is not long enough to determine whether or not you'll live forever.

Ah, scams.

I think it's intended as a joke.

It's sometimes annoying when people post jokes on websites for people who sometimes have trouble getting jokes in real life, let alone on the internet. :roll:
