Is Covid and/or the vaccines an attempt to force Mother Nature…force evolution…to combat aging? If half the planet or 3.5 billion are combating covid and vaccinations a few or some might evolve as a species to combat these things that are otherwise part of aging. Identifying that adaptation (genetically) can then be used via gene therapy to reverse aging or at least extend life in the elites.
And, that’s why the message was never to get healthy or take vitamin D. They want to force Mother Nature or evolution to respond to an extinction level threat. Greater the threat => greater the response!
It’s why the desperately need to track the health, to find the innate or adaptive or evolutionary genes to reverse aging -for them, not me and you of course.
Pretty wild theory but it fits the circumstances we see. Read the entire article and then tell me our elites are better.
We could’ve lived forever if it weren’t for Eve and the snake. But thank God for our salvation through Jesus. Born twice, die once.
You can use math to demonstrate anything non-intuitive.
Read this yesterday on MSN, but didn't dare post it because of the source. Very fascinating article though.
Here I thought the next best job prospects were in green energy. Now it’s bioengineering.
I doubt the Post included Bezos’s attempts.
Why would I want to live forever on this rapidly deteriorating earth with its rotting civilization? God created us to live forever in His paradise if we only accept His free gift of Grace.
Immortality while still earthbound, has never been one of my goals.
When my To Be Used by Date is achieved, according to The Lord, show’s over.
I have nothing to prove by hanging on beyond the bitter end.
Claiming to be wise, they became fools……..
Romans 1:22
Warning: If you have a religious world view, don’t bother reading what follows.
Article: “It means that the first forms of life, which started billions of years ago, likely didn’t die.”
This depends on what one defines as the “first forms of life”. At some point relatively deathless elements combined into molecules and compounds, then highly complex molecules, etc. Some of those adjacent to energy sources like steam vents, replicated themselves and began to approach what we call “life”. As complexity reaches a certain point, like the old plate spinning acts on the Ed Sullivan Show, the probability that things will go “wrong” exceeds the probability of going perfectly, so complex molecule replication crashes at the individual and/or mass level. So the pattern that survives requires replication of lots of copies that survive long enough to produce before their complexity leads inevitably to a crash; the individual “organisms” die, but the pattern lives on. Changing environments, such as temperature changes or moving too far from the steam vent because of successful replication, produces crashes as well as mutations. The physicist’s idea here might be an interesting way to explain some things, and perhaps those much smarter than I can derive some practical applications. Entropy pretty well guarantees mortality, but I guess we can still try for extending our boundaries.
There would be NO evolutionary advantage to living forever. The world would be occupied by organisms that remained unchanged since they started to live.
There would be NO reproductive mechanism, since an organism that lives forever has no reason and no need to produce offspring.
So there would be no way for new organisms to come into existence, and the original “immortal” organisms would be the only ones on Earth.
He’s wrong.
Not quite related to the topic, but the Compost seems to think that the comment section is more valuable than the article itself.
They’ll let you read the article for “free”, but you have to sign in to read the comments.
“Aging” IS natural selection. Those who age, have a much greater chance of dying. The recent “pandemic” bore that out. The old (and diseased) were several times more likely to die than the young and healthy.
The writer of the article equates “immortality” with “anti-aging,” the latter which is making those choices (selections) that keep them healthy and fit — to survive. That is the critical mistake non-critical thinkers make — thinking that simply living as long as possible is sufficient — rather than the quality of life (health) that makes a longer life more probable (survival).
They have it backwards — and if they program that into the cells and organisms, that will not guarantee immortality — but as we are already witnessing, simply longer lives in deterioration, dysfunction and agony — as the photos of Soros and Gates illustrate. However, Bezos seems to have taken the right track and transformed himself into a much healthier specimen than he ever was before — as illustrated in his recent photos.
As Darwin observed, better selection is what ultimately survives.
Cofefvee anyone?
Why do we age?

What a JOKE this story is... WHY?
Because you're as DEAD now as you are EVER going to be.
What's looking out of those eyes at the world around you is a dead now as it's ever going to be.
God gave each and everyone of us an ETERNAL, IMMORTAL SOUL. That means there is NO END to our existence and the roads it travels.
Life is but one facet of the MULTITUDE of existences that the soul traverses.
The so called "FUTURE" of each soul is GOVERNED by each SOUL itself.
If you "BELIEVE" in JESUS as your SAVIOR then your SOUL ( you ) may have a totally different "Future" existence, than if you do not.
Jesus said, "As you believe, so shall it be done unto you"
