“Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?
The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”
“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Well God is an engineer and he gave us technology & curiosity as his greatest gift. Being aware of our own mortality both as individuals & as a species is what drives us to to try and beat it. To be fair, blame the serpent (or Prometheus).
- simiones 2y agoFor true Christian believers, of any sect, mortal life is just a temporary step on your way to an eternal life, hopefully one spent next to their god in heaven. Prolonging mortal life is not and cannot be a goal in itself for anyone who deeply and honestly believes that they have eternity in heaven to look forward to. Sure, technology can be seen as a gift from the Christian god, but using technology to prolong life is fundamentally unnecessary.
