Have you ever asked yourself how long can you live? Or maybe why we grow old and die? Another question you might've asked is how can you extend or prolong your life span?Some animals live longer than humans. For instance, a Galapagos tortoise can live up to 175 years. Even trees live longer than us, like the Bristlecone pine that can live one thousand years.
How long can you live? According to the AWAKE! Magazine, the approximate life span of humans is eighty to ninety years. Too short, right? Creatures who have total control of their mind and body die quickly, yet animals and trees, who live by instincts, live for more than 100 years.Can science solve this? According to the Scientific American magazine, "Science has met the limited access in extending adult longevity". They also revealed that scientists are exploring developments in a field of genetics called epigentics. What is Epigenetics? In the same article, they defined Epigenetics as the study of the cell called epigenome, which means above the genome or the one that is responsible in turning on and off the genes.
They also found that it plays a big role in the cause of ageing.Evidence also suggests that humans were originally designed to live longer. It can be seen in the power of the brain, its power to learn so much. The Encyclopedia of the Brain and Brain Disorders states that the long-term memory capacity of the human brain is "virtually unlimited.
How long can you live? The Bible's answer is clear: We can have the hope of living forever. A hope that will be fulfilled after God cleanses the earth of all its badness. A hope that is sure to be happen in the future.In this world, nothing is permanent. But in God's love, living forever is possible."Now, however, these three will remain forever: faith, hope, love; but the greatest of these is love"- 1 Corinthians 13:13.
Haha! Honestly, you momentarily lost me there. The first three paragraphs were filled with sound facts with credible source. Then suddenly you conclude in a religious way that had nothing to do with the rest of the post. Well, if you intended it that way then fine. But personally, I would rather know the scientific way of living longer. (If there was actually a method. Haha. XD)
