The Methuselah Gene: Who Wants To Live Forever?

Oops, I meant Generation Y. AKA the Millenial Generation. The kids who are too young to identify with GenX'ers, & who are being raised today under different circumstances than GenX'ers were. Some people think they will grow up with the same kind of attitude as the GI Generation.

[helmsman]

Absolutely correct. Enoch and Elijah are the only two who were taken up to Heaven without first undergoing physical death.

[helmsman]

I think somebody better come up with a better generation naming convention than this alphabet soup deal, or I do believe I may go insane. Let's see, if every member of Generation X were each cloned two times, would that mean we would end up with Generation XXX? Is so, what would that mean for our adult entertainment options?

[Helmsman grins wickedly as he considers the possibilities...]

Life is a journey. Including what comes after this mortal coil finally fails. I would not want to be cheated of an existence unencumbered by mere flesh.

Besides, immortality would rob me of how I've instructed my family to dispose of my earthly remains: by being cremated while wearing a Darth Vader costume :-)

What about Mary, the mother of Jesus who was taken up in physical form to Heaven? Aside from Enoch and Elijah, I do recall something of same written happening with Mary

No where in the Bible does it state nor even intimate that Mary was translated nor did not die before she went to heaven and further does it state she did not give birth to other children after Jesus was born.

Therefore Mary did not remain a virgin after Jesus' birth.

In fact nothing is said of Mary beyond about the 13th Chapter of Acts.
