@smitty: Please go ahead and explain the difference between eternal life in heaven and eternal life here on earth (or wherever future space travel would take 'us'). I think it is very interesting that according to the poll on the first page, the majority of the people who took it want to live forever. I would not want to live forever in this life. You'll have to put things in perspective when it comes to people that actually very much hold on to their current lives. Perhaps you're life isn't that great and although my life certainly isn't perfect, my life is great enough to want to live much much longer than humanly possible. Living for all eternity may become boring after a while, but on the other hand just think of our current world and compare it to 50 years back. Enough interesting differences in my opinion. Then again, what's 50 years on the scale of infinity? Regardless, there would suddenly be plenty of possibilities otherwise vastly limited by the factor time. Of course it is better than the alternative if you do not know Jesus Christ as your Saviour and are bound for eternity in the Lake of Fire. I know that God is sovereign in all things and that our lives our in His hands. Thanks be to God through our Lord Jesus Christ! Blessed be the name of the Lord! So... do you get like bonus points from your God for mentioning this or something? :P What a terrible thought to think that we would just continue to grow older and sicker in this world which continues to decay as a result of man's evil and sin. It depends on your look on what it would or should be like to live for eternity. In my opinion, I'd not want to live forever if it would mean living 80 years in good health and the rest of infinity as a half rotten corpse. Having said that, I don't think the world is decaying. A better observation would be that the world simply changes all the time. Cheers

It would be interesting for me to live eternally or at least a million years on earth. According to scientists, earth does not decay but will continue to exist for many million years.
But what would mean eternal life on earth for me as a Christian? If our scientists are smart enough to find a way for living millions of years, then because God gave us our smartness. I see no reason why using it would be against Gods ways.
By the way, I believe in God, but certainly not in lakes of fire or such, which have no base in the bible. The lakes of fire are as existent as Santa Claus or the little angels with the trumpets. No one knows for sure what happens when we die, but most likely we cease to exists as individuals.

most of the people want to live forever including me. but the thing is that now it's like that. but the life could become dull to you and everything might become boring to you in less then 100 years. yes i voted for never to die but who knows what will i think/want 60 years later. some people get so exhausted of their life and it's problems. i'd like to live forever, but under one condition. that i can die whenever i want to. so if i become exhausted of living, i can die and become free. but that's just my theory
Ubi bene, ibi Patria.

Realistically probably wish i had never been born after looking around the world, but now i am here, survival is the thing.
I could never succeed to kill myself really since i left my body once and know that the essence of me does not die. I know those who has not had any such experience may think different.
I don't think the world will come to an end in my physical lifetime so i have no fear of "spending eternity in the vacuum of space".
Anyway energy exists in space so why not i too when i shake off this physical vessel, for i am but energy trapped in a physical vessel.
