Since there is no God and no afterlife, How many years can a human stay alive for?

Question

I need to know, because I keep worrying about death. I just need to know. Because I want to stop worrying about death. I want to know how long I am alive for. How many years. How many years can my body lasts before it gives out and I die.

Answer 1

Well maybe you are worrying because you are wrong about your beliefs. Heaven is real, so is hell. When you accept Jesus, he takes all our worries, and fear.

Your body will last as long as how you care for it. Eat right, exercise. They say that people born after 1979 will likely live to 100yrs old. Thats if you don't get cancer, or get hit by a bus.

But I would worry about what happens after you die. So many people testify that they've been shown hell. Their accounts are very similar.

Answer 2

The oldest person in the world just died..at 114. Some years back a woman in France died at 120. We also know that seemingly healthy young people die without warning. Death is a fact of life and it can come to anyone at anytime. The body will give out, sooner or later, but what about your being. Your question begins with an assumption stated as fact. Let's face it, you don't know what happens after death. Maybe dieing is not an end...but a beginning. Could be..... It's worth considering.

Answer 3

LOLOL That is like asking "how long is a piece of string" How long you personally live depends on how you care for your own body's health, and whether or not you have some killer disease hidden in there somewhere, waiting for the moment to make itself known. Nobody here can tell you that. You could, on any given day, become the victim of some sudden incident that results in your death.
Since you do not believe in any sort of existence after this mortal life, all you can do is accept what you believe is the facts, which is that your life is very very short, so it would be a good idea to get the most out of it that you possibly can. When you die, there will be no more you, so you won't feel a thing or have one thing to worry about, will you?

Answer 4

Well how long you live CAN depend on how healthy of a life style you lead. Eat right and stay in shape, dont smoke, drink too much or do drugs, you should be fine. I THINK the average life expectancy is between 79-85 or something...although women tend to live longer than men.

Again this could be cuz studies show women are more likely to go to the doc when not feeling well and get routine annual check ups.

Also, your question really has nothing to do w GOD or an afterlife...ppl that believe in god are still going to die at some point. We all do. Enjoy life, while you have it!

Have a good day. TGIF!!!

Answer 5

This i a common dilemma for mankind. Once we became of our aware of our own existence we have feared death. In other words, everybody goes through those feelings. There is nothing you can do about death, but what you can do is worry about your health or your legacy and how the world will remember you before you die. Become the very best you that you can, and the world will love and remember you. THAT is how you can live forever..

Answer 6

The starting point for calculating life expectancies is the age-specific death rates of the population members. For example, if 10% of a group of people alive at their 90th birthday die before their 91st birthday, then the age-specific death rate at age 90 would be 10%.

These values are then used to calculate a life table, from which one can calculate the probability of surviving to each age. In actuarial notation the probability of surviving from age x to age n+x is denoted .

The life expectancy at age x, denoted , is then calculated by adding up the probabilities to survive to every age. This is the expected number of complete years lived (one may think of it as the number of birthdays they celebrate).

Because age is rounded down to the last birthday, on average people live half a year beyond their final birthday, so half a year is added to the life expectancy to calculate the full life expectancy.

Answer 7

Ignore the half-witted apologists who are asking you to prove a negative. (They should all start proving to me that they don't all owe me $10,000 each.)

Don't worry about death. Death is an inevitability... human mortality is a reality that we all must cope with. Instead of fearing it, embrace it. As far as can be determined and/or proven, this is the only life we have, and you get one shot. Make the most of it and you'll be much happier.

If necessary, seek professional help. I don't mean this as an insult, as therapy can do wonders if you can't get the constant worry out of your head.

Answer 8

You could live for a hundred years...you could get run over by a lorry tomorrow...death has nothing to do with god..its about illness and accidents and all other causes of death....as long as you keep your self healthy and be careful near dangerous places....eg- roads..in a car.(wear a seat belt)...and so on ..u should live for quite a while.

Answer 9

There is no way to know! You might get hit by a bus today or tomorrow or you might die while setting on the toilet. Or you could live to be 70 to 100 yrs. so stop worrying about it and enjoy the life you have.

Answer 10

Doesn't matter how long you live. Death will find you. Be assured the long sleep comes to us all, there is no escape from the unknown blackness that will claim every one of us on the planet. Doesn't matter what preparations or plans you make, Death's icy fingers will wrap themselves round you in a horrible finality, ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa !

Answer 11

... Quit your worrying already.

Death is just the end of you... It might be unknown, but we only fear the unknown because it may kill us. Once we're already dead though, that consequence doesn't even exist... so why worry about it?
Heck, in context even worrying about things which might kill us is thereby rendered unimportant.

Just remember that your life is going to be a sequence of suffering until you die unless you do something to change it.... Death itself is a release from all suffering, all responsibility, all difficulties and strife. It is to become one with nothingness.
Death is a beautiful thing... and there is no need to be afraid of it.


As for your lifespan.... could be 50 years, could be 100 ... who cares? Depends on all kinds of stuff.
