The Universe is Trying to Kill You. Out Smart the Universe.

This is like 30 seconds.  I think it would take a combined effort of the world to overcome death.  Each playing a member of the body.

1 Corinthians 12:14-26

14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.

15 Now if the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” it would not for that reason stop being part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!” 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has put the body together, giving greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

Something like that.  Everybody has something to do and plays a part.

It could be that one man or a team discover immortality and it's keep secret for a long time with people dying in the mean time.  I really don't believe they have it yet.  But they are trying very hard and everyday is a step closer.  They currently have a type of Manhattan project going I believe that will come up with some pretty neat stuff for humans to play with.  But probably it will be the domain of the rich.

They need to solve hunger.  That would power the world more.  There are many things that need to be solved.  It's good that people have to goto work for 40 hours a week.  The world is progressing.  You can see progression in the way prices drop on electronic goods like computers and TVs.  But I still say it's to slow.  Everyone needs to be involved not just the few.  People have skills that are yet to be discovered.
