Revelation 21:4 says 'death will be no more'. Rather than have faith in science to give us everlasting life, one should look to God through Jesus

Unfortunately yes. It's only a matter of time before technology and genetics enables us to become immortal in a sense. Most likely this will stem from organ or cell replacement, nano-technology, or the blending of organic and inorganic materials. (Yes, organic material has already been grafted and integrated with computer chips, though on a very low level.)
Ignorant people can nay-say the future all they wish, but it won't stop it from coming. One can only hope that our civilization is mature enough to handle immortality when it finally arrives.

Hi!

No. because "Science" has not discovered the existence of a "soul" in a human being.A soul is a spiritual body that everyone of us have. And if they soul is taken out of the body, the body cannot do anything even if the body is OK!

Everyone's day of death is appointed except for those who kill themselves by sin and suicide.Science cannot put off death altogether.

Hug!

No - only God gives us the breath of life and eternal life after what seems to be death. Science will keep trying though - in vain I'm sure.

Good question, We already have in some instances of keeping people alive while not enjoying any quality of life. So, I guess if we get to the stage where so called "quality" is there it would be possible, but what would be the religious implications? I think if we tip the scale too far to one side, we may be our own demise.

Highly unlikely, although some kind of 'personality transfer' to a machine might be possible in a long time from now. Then you just have to hope the plug doesn't get accidentally pulled out.

Cell regeneration science is making progress, but given where it is today, it's hard to imagine completely eradicating the natural process of death.

Here's an interesting story about one scientist who is trying: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6959575/

Remember the old Star Trek show where Kirk goes to a planet that is wall to wall people?

Death is the most important tool of the evolutionary process. It's unlikely that Nature would let go of such an ingenious concept.

No. We are born only to die. Sometimes, death is premature, but the fact is that everyone is going to die, sometime. That is the way that God intended it to be. And science will only go as far as God alllows it. God has allowed it to do much already. But, we have to remember that HE is always in control.
