Is life eternal or not?

Question

do you wanna live forever or do you really think that everything comes to an end?

Answer 1

For humans, life - not their own - is eternal, because humans are a virtually invisible nano-something in a transition of which they know nothing about.

As for myself, I might be living for ever thru uncountable never directly conscious metamorphoses, therefore I might as well stop thinking and so shallowly say that my life is limited to its present manifestation.

My present life is quite short, your life is quite short, his or her life may even be shorter - everything comes to an end.

Analogically everybody and everything must die. This Earth on which we live must die, the glowing sun giving us heat and life must die, the universe must die, the multiverses of which a funny friend of mine likes to speak about also will die eventually.

God is eternal, almighty, therefore never ever passible of death.

As almighty God can do anything whatsoever He might want, He may even decide to die, one day, not even waiting for His own old age, which potentially may never ever ever come, and so He may make His own tomb, and He may manufacture His own tombstone, and He will bury down His own holy dead body, and so at every utmost holy anniversary of His death He may even decide to be wandering back to His own holy grave for there to put some fresh flowers, and to light a glowing little candle, and to chant a few prayers, and or just sit still in silent meditation, in blissful contemplation of His own holy death monument.

Yes, life is eternal, but not consciously for us, not for our direct experience. Everything must die. God is not bound to die. But He might anyway decide to die for solidarity with us, for empathy with His own favorite deadbound creatures, and so also to watch the whole process of His own death and of His own thereafter, where He might even occasionally walk back to His own tombstone in order to put some fresh flowers, and to say a few prayers, and or to sit still in silent meditation, in blissful contemplation of His own utmost holy death monument.

Everything comes to an end, but God may decide of His own holy almighty will to come to an end.

Answer 2

I think that so long as there are new things to learn in the world, continuing to live could have a benefit.

Is life eternal from a macro-perspective? I believe the answer is yes--the existence of earth seems to indicate that it is an inexorable law of physics and mathematics that inert matter is able to be rearranged to react to its environment and compile information which can be communicated over time.

Is life eternal from an individual-perspective? I believe the answer is no--people seem to die and then disappear.

COULD life be eternal from a subjective perspective? This is the big question--do we continue on as subjective agents after we die. This is the one that there's no answer to, and one whose seeming answer is pretty horrifying. However, if you were to tell me "matter will randomly arrange itself into super-computers over eons," I'd find that equally unlikely from a totally objective perspective than "over an infinite amount of time in the universe, higher forms of order and organization than you can understand gave shape to reality." The true answer is, if we knew for certain, life would lose something important.

Answer 3

if what you mean is can we live forever, i would tend to say no. however, as i have no evidence to decide upon, i do not discount the possibility that outside of this physical ephemeral existence, that some part of what it is to be alive still exists and if it does, i would not discount that an existence free from physical form and degradation could be eternal.
I believe that everything with physical existence comes to an end, but i cannot say whether we have only physical existence or if there is more to it. thats a question i can only answer as i pass from this existence to whatever else is next.

Answer 4

That's up for you to decide. I believe that it does. A lot of things in life will eventually come to an end but God is forever and we are promised an afterlife to this one. So wonderful you can't even imagine :)

Answer 5

Life and everything else including the universe is an incident,with a beginning and an end.
When an incident runs it's course it stops and never occurs again.

Answer 6

Yes if by eternal you do not mean infinite temporal duration, but if by eternal you mean timelessness than those who live in the present live eternally.

Answer 7

the needed component you want to bypass to heaven is to quite trust in god. And dont dedicate sins. Youve were given not something to lose. once you die youll be nicely-known by using your spouse and children and associates as a astounding individual who by no skill stole, lied or used human beings and youll bypass to heaven. no achieveable stress you to trust in god purely you'll hit upon him on your soul no individual else can help you with that. After this stay your existence and its not something to be stricken about.

Answer 8

Nothing is eternal except Eternity.
If nothing ended, how could anything else begin?

Answer 9

Sorry to burst your bubble, everything comes to an end...so make the most of the brief time you are here....thanks!!

Answer 10

NO!!! In Hinduism, even the gods die. If one could actually go to the Christian Heaven, he would wish he was dead.
