No, the question I posed assumed that there was no God, in which case there was no pre-ordained fate. I make the assumuption that the scientist does not believe in God.
You make assumptions that have no truth or merit. But the silliest assumption is that a finite life would be better off ended. No sane person thinks that way.
You are engaging in hyper-rationality, a caricature of rationality. In this mode, one might just as easily say the infinite life is meaningless, since any portion of it is an insignificant fraction of the whole. Even a billion years is zero when compared to infinity.
