With all the info on how the big bang 14.7 billion years created everything, seems causing life to continue would not be a challenge. Does anyone know how? james

Here are a few bits of thought.

This is an interesting g question however with some ambiguity arising from two orthogonal concepts 'life' and 'time'. They seem to run in parallel, but do they?
1. Life does continue for a long time and proof is in DNA. We share the genes not only with dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago but with early life on earth dating back a couple of billion years.
2. If we find ourselves at the event horizon of a black hole we would accelerate to a speed of light stopping time as we know it or at least slowing it down for us to witness the end of our Universe just before we parish in the black hole. The few minutes of our existence at the event horizon would be like millions of years in Earth’s frame of reference. This way we would die to be billions of years old.

Does that give some ideas?
And than again how much do we really know about the universe, time and space. Not much yet! 1000 years from now I hope we advance our understanding and even then your question still would sound as a good question as today only someone would give a few more interesting answers.

You will always have a problem if you keep thinking the universe and all its contents came into being spontaneously without an originator or chief designer or chief architect or chief enginner behind it all. If you put all components together and allow them to stay for 14.7 billion years, do you believe a computer or aeroplane or whatever could come out of these components? Believe in a CREATOR and you will make life easier for yourself. That does not mean you have to be religious. No god worth the name would want to be worshipped by small creatures like us because HE simply doesn't need it.

hii...I m not an agnostic n still i believe that when cells become old they die causing death n no 1 in this world cud escape death cuz its a necessary end. This World is of God n He is a supreme commander of it, its He who has made birth and death. according to Muslim mythology people used to survive up to 900 years, but its was creating a great havoc on the world so God changed it 70-90 years. If u believe in God u wud very well understand that no one can escape death...

Assuming that all the hypothetical info we have is true, it would take a long, long time, even under lab conditions. And anyway, those hypothesises only tell how life is created, not how it is extended. So in answer to your original question though, I'd say NO, no one can escape death. It comes to us all.

You die because your cells slow down their division speed.
That's why people get "old".
If we can figure out a way to refresh body cells, then theoretically there would be no "natural" cause of death.

But if nobody dies, but people keep having babies, we'd have a huge problem.
Not to mention other things.

friend, you are trying to bridge the gulf between science and religion, between this life and the next, between mortality and immortality.

There are examples in the Bible of men who
escaped death" and went directly from this life into the next - Elijah, Enoch.

And then there is Jesus Christ Himself who died, rose again, and lives today forever more.

p.s. the big bang? don't believe everything you read.

god bless

You can "escape" death only for a short period of time. ALL things come to an end eventually.............

there are ways to prolong life. and scientists today think they know why aging occurs. However, we humans are fairly fragile. eventually we will all die...
