Whatever this guy thinks he can do, I am sure he won't be able to make humans live forever, or even "get his father back to life". Maybe he can make a machine that lives forever, but he can't make a human to live forever. There are things that god forced in this world, and it will continue regardless if you believe in god or not. And I think that god forced humans to die, and this won't change in the future.

Well one can always ask just how long did god intend humans to live? Was it 30, 60, 90, 120, 150 or 180 yrs? I think well see all of those as possible answers, given the advance of medicine and engineering. If by god you mean "stochastic calculus".. then yes, I do believe in god, and he has mysterious ways indeed :]

  About God, he has created you, me, and the whole world [the world of creatures]. And even if some people try to deny God, he is there and we need him. Well, advance of medicine and engineering? Did medicine help prevent people die at age 5 or 6 yrs old? There is something called "fate", and I guess you don't believe in it too.

    It might be more productive if you argued why others should share your belief in fate or God, instead of just stating your belief without any justification. I do believe in God, but I do not find your statements very interesting without at least some attempt to persuade.

      Thank you so much for making it clear to me what's wrong, and I will keep this in mind.

    I think medicine has helped a _lot_ of 5 and 6 year olds... Don't take my God comments too much to heart - Id vigorously defend your right to believe in whatever you like.

      EDIT: [You are right that medicine helped alot, but what I wanted to say is... death is something that will continue to happen regardless how much scientific progress we make, and you will still find kids at 5 or 6 yrs old die regardless of any "medical progress", simply because this is what's called "fate"! And I am sure that you heard of kids who died at very young age] You have a right to believe in God or not, or even make your "brain" as your own God, it's all up to you. But it's NOT funny to make jokes about God, and I had to response to you, although I knew that it will lead to reduce my karma, but I had no choice anyway.
