From what we  have considered, it should be plain that the Creator has  provided abundant information through his physical creation and through his inspired Word, the Bible.  He encourages us to grow in knowledge and insight, even foretelling the time when "the earth will certainly be filled with the knowledge of Jehovah as the waters are covering the very sea." -Isaiah 11:9; 40:13, 14.

It is not the Creator's will that our ability to learn and improve be limited to a life span of 70 or 80 years.  You can see them from one Jesus' most famous statements:  "God loved the world so much  that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." -John 3:16. 

"Everlasting life." That is not a fantasy.  Rather, the concept of permanence without end is consistent with what the Creator offered our original parents, Adam and Eve.  It is consistent with scientific facts about the makeup and capacity of our brain.  And it is consistent with what Jesus taught. Mankind's having everlasting life was at the core of Jesus ' message.  On his final evening on earth with the apostles, he said:  "This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you,the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." -John 17:3.
