My plan is to live forever and so far, so good.
Here is my proof as a scientist would see it. Since i was born, i have lived 11,870 days. Each day i observed myself i did not die. So after 11,870 observations of me not dying, its scientifically logical to assume i am immortal and will not die.

Couldnt resist adding this....
For those of you that say everyone dies...have you seen everyone die? In all my years I must have observed 3 or 4 million people in my life. I have only observed 3 or 4 dead bodies in my life. Where are all the dead bodies if everyone dies?

However, there is a problem with that...
The problem is common sense... We all know that you could say that for every day that you will live. But that doesn't change the fact that you WILL die someday!! It is common sense!! Everyone else lived a finite amount of time on this earth regardless of how many times they said they were immortal.
The Bible says that every man (and woman) is destined to be born once, and also to die once(Hebrews 9:27). Tthere are only to exceptions these were Elijah and Methusala, who were taken up to heaven with out dieing.
On a side not 11,870 is not even close to infinity!!

You may be forgetting that even an immesurably large sample can still have a statistical outlier. If I flip a coin 100,000 times and it comes up heads each time, there's still a chance that the next flip will come up tails. As a matter of fact, I would say that a reversion to the mean is pretty much due for you, and I wouldn't make any long-term plans if I were you.

The problem with your proof is that you solely rely on inductive reasoning. This is, you solely rely on your own observation and experimentation in your reasoning. The problem with this inductive reasoning is that the past does not always predict the future as seen in this example:
(pretend that I'm a stock investor from 2001)
- Enron stock has been going up every day
- When Enron stock goes up, people get rich
Therefore, if I invest in Enron, I will be very rich.

I have proof you will die, 99 percent of everyone that ever liked has died. the 1 percent are apart of the 6 billion that are alive now, millions die everyday. over time those millions become billions. you will die. unless we can extend the dna and replicate it when it starts to die. pray for nano tech miracles.
to the guy who says we have been aging since we were born is wrong, we were growing until around 20 are so. human growth hormone builds us when we are young. HGH will help in the future,

According to you recent calculations, you are 32.972222 years old. Since the human body is preplanned for obsolescence, you have approximately 67.02778 years left. I think that is a very good forever. Best of luck and Happy St. Patrick's Day.

Actually that's pretty awesome...seeing as you don't remember being NOT alive. But the theory is flawed when you hold it up against other human beings, because they tend to die at around that 70-80 year mark regardless of how many days they've gotten under their belts. Good premise, though...

Odds are in your favor. It looks to me like even if your body dies you keep right on living.
Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.
While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.
Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.
I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.
I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.
I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.
Your brother don

There's no correlation.
Making observations that you're alive doesn't mean a Mack truck isn't going to obliterate you if you wander onto the interstate during rush hour traffic. Or would you like to test that theory yourself?

Um, hate to be the pin that bursts your bubble, while you were doing all this scientific observation, did you happen to notice yourself aging? Yep, you are getting older, which means you are getting closer to death. We all are, join the club. Sorry little salmon, you are heading up the river of life with the rest of us.

it quite is a thoroughly surprising correlation! This creature is superb! Theist could be extra suitable than in basic terms alarmed! and additionally you have flaunted it of their faces in a fashion that leaves little to no room to refute this text! Now, in case you ought to in basic terms show the way it applies to the evidence of no existence of God. yet hi, it replaced right into a valuable article with an exceedingly, extremely notably image...
