Question

Why is man program to die? What could be the answer to this?

Answer 1

It's the same reason why you don't just buy one TV and keep it forever.

For one thing, it's really hard to make a TV that lasts forever. Even barring major accidents, some parts just wear out with use over time. And don't underestimate the wearing effect of the environment - if it can tear down mountains, then your TV (or you) don't stand a chance.

Then there's always the adjustment factor. If everyone only needed one TV to last them their whole life, who would make it? Not any kind of multinational TV-making factory - such a thing would go out of business fast, with so little demand. Likewise with people: If people reproduced at their current rate and lived forever, we'd have to have constant, brutal, bloody war to relieve the population pressure. Or just almost never produce children at all and then get wiped out by the next Black Plague that came along.

And then there's HDTVs. Who wants to be stuck with a cruddy low-tech TV when they can get the latest thing? For that matter, do you even SEE any of the really old picture tubes that take a half-hour to warm up any more? The answer (except for museums) is no. There aren't any long-lived TVs because they are replaced by younger, better ones. So too with people - every parent usually wants their children to do better than themselves... should they succeed in such an endeavor, what place would the world have for them, then?

So people don't live forever for the same reason your TV isn't around forever: it's ridiculously hard to do in the first place, doesn't take into consideration larger factors in production, and prevents too easy a possibility of obsolescence.

None of this, of course, means it's IMPOSSIBLE for a person or a people to be made to live forever, mind you. There are many legends of people who already do, and many scientists who are ardently working toward exactly this goal. Are they true? Will they succeed? Only time will tell...

Answer 2

Millions of people are born and die everyday. If man wasn't programmed to die, this world would become overpopulated and unlivable in a very quick time period.

Life is a series of life and death - it's a cycle, and we're all lucky we have a chance to be here while we do.

Answer 3

This goes back to the Garden of Eden when the parents of the human race lost perfection by sinning and passed death on to all the human race.
Romans 5:12 "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"
There is a way out though through Jesus Christ.
