  Ok, so there is the opposing thread that tells us we are all going to die, now here it is, the one we've all been waiting for...

  WE ARE ALSO ALL GOING TO LIVE...

  How you might ask? Well, it just so happens that we have this concept called "sexual reproduction", something that the animals also have, which allows for life to continue after death. Isn't that amazing?

  So now, that's two things... First, we are all going to die... that's a fact.... But, we are all going to live as well... Also a fact.

  So death is a constant as well as living forever. They both can and do happen.

  God is amazing.

  But, we are all going to live as well...

  Not true for everyone by this reasoning. Some choose not to reproduce
  and some- well, you should research the Darwin Awards.

  If one chooses not to reproduce, they are still going to live and die, completing the cycle of life and death. Others will carry on life though, is the point. Life continues forever through reproduction. Death continues forever through aging. It's a constant in the universe.

  If you go backwards from you, to your parents, then grandparents, and so on, the number of pairs doubles each time you go back right? Why is that? Because life is a cycle.

  Supplement the genetic approach with the cultural one -- the specifically human trick to thwart death...

  What makes "us" (our words, our expressions, our feelings, our ideas...) is a long story, which started long before us, continued through us and already lives on beyond us.

  Nobody remembers who invented the first smile, but it goes on running from face to face.

  Nark,

  What makes "us" (our words, our expressions, our feelings, our ideas...) is a long story, which started long before us, continued through us and already lives on beyond us.

  Sounds like you are talking about the "collective unconscious" which we humans all have in common.
