Who Wants to Live Forever??? Biological Immortality Only Years Away!!! – In Yo’ Face Gods!
If you’ve read this blog you will know that I personally believe that human DNA was modified, just as was stated in Genensis 6, to limit our age to 120.
Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal; his days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
A lot of scientific work has been done in the area of Telomeres which are basically the shoe-lace ends (incidentally these are called aglets and I am getting a serious bout of de ja vu here) that stop the ends of our DNA chromosomes from fraying. These telomeres shorten as our cells split acting literally as a fuse or a time bomb, the bomb of course being our death via ageing.
A few children across the globe have a condition called progeria, which causes them to age prematurely. Most don’t live past their teenage years and this is directly caused by the extremely short telomeres these children were born with.
So, in essence, because of telomere shortening our cells can only regenerate properly around 60 times limiting humans to around and about 120 years. This is called the Hayflick limit as Hayflick discovered it. Isn’t it interesting that in the 1960s Hayflick unwittingly discovered the scientific proof behind the age limit imposed on humanity by the gods in Genesis 6, thousands of years after the book was written!!!
In a documentary by the BBC called living forever the narrator states:
“Whatever our genes, our lifestyle, our nutrition our bodies always wear out at a maximum of 120 years. By then our organs and tissues have stopped functioning properly and that’s because of our cells.”

If you look at the list of the oldest people recorded in modern history (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oldest_people), it also backs up this fact, that very few humans ever reach 120 and only one has surpassed it by a mere 2 years. How could someone who wrote a book at least 2000 years ago have been so accurate? How could they have known this exact age??? Please take a moment to consider the implications of this. It is mind boggling to me.
To me it is pretty conclusive proof that we were genetically modified as a species thousands of years ago by a race of advanced people who knew the human genome inside out.
The interesting thing is now that we know about this enforced time limit, we can combat it. If anyone out there knows of some good telomere supplements please comment with the links… though on this planet, even if immortal, you can be killed in a plethora of other ways: illness, traffic, freak accident, weather, drowning, falling on to a subway track while drunk etc. etc.
Should I become biologically immortal here what I’d do:
- Explore the world
- Avoid being hit by buses
- Try not to catch swine flu
- Buy a Kevlar vest
- Invent a spaceship
- Find another planet with humanoids
- Mate with the attractive females on the planet
- Grow a beard
- Set myself up as a god there
- Have a fight with my crew members over who is the most powerful deity
- etc. etc.
Sound familiar…
So if you were biologically immortal, what would you do for the next 1000 years?
