The Search for Long Life - CAN SCIENCE LENGTHEN OUR LIVES?

Note: This stuff about science lengthening our lives is a bunch of horse hockey, it is Satan's ploy of using science to put our faith in him and not God.  If you remember, there has been blogs in the past that has explained how Satan uses whatever and whoever he wants to get people's faith away from God. He brought us into this world, and if he wanted for us live longer in this wicked system of thing, he would have had planned it. We are not suppose to live any longer than designated.

Not all scientists agree that anti-aging treatments can prolong human life far beyond what is attainable today. True, human life expectancy has steadily increased since the 19th century.  But this is due to better hygiene, successful measures against infectious diseases and the use of antibiotics and vaccines, and God of course. Some geneticists believe that the human life span has more or less reached its natural limit.

About 3,500 years ago, the Bible writer Moses acknowledged:  "The span of our life is 70 years, or 80 if one is especially strong.  But they are filled with trouble and sorrow, they quickly pass by, and we fly."  (Psalm 90:10)  Despite men's efforts to extend our life span, life remains basically the way Moses described it. 

On the other hand, creatures like the red sea urchin or one species of the quahog clam can live over 200 years, and the trees like the giant sequoia can live thousands of years.  When we compare our life span with that of these and other living things, do we not wonder, 'Is this life of 70 or 80 years all there is?
