Are we human beings here just to continue to grow old and die? Very simply, 2 peter 3:13 states that there will be new heavens and new earth that we are awaiting and in these RIGHTEOUSNESS is to dwell" Psalms 37:29 says that the righteous will inherit the earth and they will live FOREVER upon it." we know that the bible is from God and what God says is always true. So isn't nice to know that we will have the hope of living forever on earth in peaceful conditions? (no more sickess, sufferings)

Hmm, how do you know lines from the movie ghost? Are you well informed or is it just from some fanfic? Anyways, to Teri I would like to say something. There is no God, and believe in him will not make this world a better place. 92% of all wars are caused by religion. (I havenīt checked out the sorce of this info, but Iīve gotten it from several independent places) John Lennon once wrote a song called imagine, Iīm just gonna quote something from it:
Imagine thereīs no heaven
Itīs easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine thereīs no countries
It isnīt hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
This sounds stupid, but religion is the root of all evil. Well at least much of it. I hope that you will look more closely at the bible and see that there is no God. What this world needs is for humans to live life on Earth instead of dreaming about Heaven. Technology is probably what will bring happiness to this world/universe, not faith.
