To have a belief that immortality is possible, one must necessarily agree with Darwinian evolution.

Darwin isn't sacred; I think he got SOME stuff right:

“The theory contains only one half the explanation of man's origins and needs spiritualism to carry it through and complete it. For while this ascent on the physical side has been progressing through myriads of ages, the Divine descent has also been going on – man being spiritually an incarnation from the Divine as well as a human development from the animal creation. The cause of the development is spiritual. Mr. Darwin's theory does not in the least militate against ours – we think it necessitates it; he simply does not deal with our side of the subject. He can not go lower than the dust of the earth for the matter of life; and for us, the main interest of our origin must lie in the spiritual domain,”

-Gerald Massey

(Massey was writing a long time ago; I think today instead of 'spiritualism' he would say 'spirituality' or 'the spiritual'.

Makes no sense. All bodies made of matter must fall apart ie die at some point.
