Forever is a very, very, very, very long time. If the human race survives the next 100,000 years we will be very lucky. Can you imagine what it will be like if the human race survives 1,000,000 years. They won't be the same humans that we are now, they will most likely be a completely different species. Can you then imagine what it will be like 5,000,000,000 years down the line when the solar system ends. I can't fathom floating around in space for 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000... years til the end of time.

  1. Nope


  2. Since I put my trust, hope and faith in Christ, I will live forever.

    In the God's new Kingdom that is to come, there is no cohabitation, so no overpopulation will occur.  The human race will survive but not with these old fleshly bodies.  We would only be a completely different "species" because we will have an incorruptible body.  It's going to happen.

  3. No.  I am looking forward to heaven someday.

  4. Hiya Half!  No, I am tired now...I'll be tired then. ;~)

    love ya

    {{{hugs}}} from randi <><

  5. No thank you...the quality of my life would not be enhanced by living any longer than I should.*

  6. not at all

  7. only if i could have all of my family with me inc. those who have passed.

  8. I'd love to live forever in a perfect world but not in this one.

    There's too much sorrow and suffering

    I'm looking forward to something better.

    :)

    Ju.

  9. I plan to in my spirit body but I don't want to live that long in an earthly body.

  10. No... I would probably get too bored. Maybe if I could marry Edward Cullen... LOL!

  11. You are right, forever is a long time. Many things can happen as years come and go. I could not bear to lose my family, have them grow old and die.I would want to go with them into the after life. I don't mind growing old. I don't mind dying really,I just don't want to leave too soon. No, I don't want to live forever with out the ones I love.   Poppy

  12. You will

  13. No way !!! I'm bored stiff now !!!

  14. If my body could remain as it was at the age of 30 or so.

  15. I plan to live forever, but not here.

  16. Never, becuase I wouldnt want to see all the bad changes in the world. But at the same time the thought of never dying would be nice.  

  17. Nope - If a person could just lay down and wish themselves dead, I'd be long gone. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way, and I'm too big of a chicken sh*t to try it myself (I'd probably fail at that too) so I guess I'm here for however long He decides. Maybe I'll get lucky and the next heart attack will get me - but with my luck it won't - the last four haven't.  

  18. I've been here on a journey for 73 years and one day when I least expect it, this old world will stop long enough to let me off.

    No I don't want to choose how long I live.

    DeeJay.

  19. The way life is going now both personally and in the world...no, but if things actually got much better and happier...yes (as long as I can still move around).

  20. No, I am looking forward to the end of my life.  SInce I believe in Jesus, I am spending the rest of my eternity with Him.  There is no way that earth can go on much longer.

  21. NO WAY.

    You what would really suck?  Suppose a couple of hundred years from now (while you are wearing the same one-piece Star Fleet jumpsuit as everyone else), you get into a space vehicle crash that should have killed you.  But you don't die from your morbid injuries (you're nothing but a head propped on a rib cage with a colostomy bag); instead you have to live gazillions of years in THAT condition.  Eeeeek.

    Or what if you aged naturally, and then had to live the rest of your days in a 95-year-old's body?  That wouldn't be much fun.  And it would severely curtail your efforts to *get some* in the future, no?  

  22. No, no way. I was thinking exactly the same thing as the first answerer.

  23. Nope.  Insanity would set in long before 'forever' is reached.  Many people don't understand forever, or eternity - they think of it as a long time, maybe a very long time, a period of time longer than 100 years or so.  Forever is "FOREVER" ; it would be unbearable to exist that long.  Certainly, a time would come when you would want the existence to end.

    Too much punctuation?  Where?  Show me where

  24. You know what, yes. I would love to live forever. It would suck to watch your family and friends die, but I would make more.

  25. No, then I'd have to watch children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, all grow old and die.  That pain would be too great !

  26. I am ....just not in this body.

  27. Hello,  Last week i purchased a wrist watch guaranteed to keep time within 1 second over a million years, it would be nice to see if the manufactures honour their promise of a replacement, if found the time is wrong.

  28. Do you mean just me living forever or do you mean everyone?  Either way, it'd be bad.  If everyone lived forever, there'd be no new people because we'd have to stop procreating to prevent overpopulation.  And without new people and the change they bring, it'd get REAL boring.  If it was only me living forever, no thanks.  My grandma lived until she was 96 and my dad is now almost 90 and both, although still clear thinking, find the body failure so frustrating.  And all their friends have died and they both have complained of feeling lonely and left behind even though both had kids and grand kids and great grand kids, etc., made new young friends (who move away in pursuit of job opportunities or to be closer to their kids, etc.).  My grandma even found that going to church was not a comfort anymore since the minister was catering to a younger generation who wanted different morality, different lessons.  No, when my time is up, I'm leaving.

  29. I think you would miss your friends and family it would probably suck seeing everyone and everything you care about leave you...  

  30. I guess for me that depends on how my quality of life would be, forever.  I love life and alway have, but I do look forward to seeing what is in the afterlife.  But too, living forever... interesting idea, but me even at my best days, I think I would pass on being forever.  It's too heart-breaking all over the world, it's too demanding and I am looking for calm.  I think I'll find that when it's my time to pass on.

    Just my own opinion  :)

    The best to you...

  31. No, I'm beginning to think I know more dead people than alive!!  That's why I don't fear death!!!
