Are humans just like batteries and whn their lifetime of heartbeats has nded, they merely die? Should people blieve that they are like Batteries and nce they are spent, it is all ver? Well, I guess such a ntion basically throws all religion out of the wndow doesn't it. Still there are sme biologists who still believe that the hman heart only has "x" number of hartbeats. The reason I bring up ths interesting, yet bothersome topic is tht it was recently proposed to our nline think tank by an atheist gntleman:

Why is it so hard for people to think that they might be just like a battery with a limited amount of life. And when its spent, its spent.

Actually in the case of religion, which is a man-made thing, it is an excellent control mechanism for humans. Since humans presently do not comprehend what is really going on and they so desire not to die; religion answers many of the questions man has asked and philosophers have pondered. Heck a new religion might be that we are living in a Virtual Reality world, we created, thus making us all gods and when the game is over, we simply all wake up and carry on? No one can prove that is not the case, just like no one can prove there is a god or gods. Believing in something you cannot know, is somewhat problematic of course. Thus, getting back to the "battery concept" well we cannot know that either and their maybe a way to genetically modify a human so that he can live forever and continually renew from the energy that he collects, a self-sustaining battery if you will in the most hypothetical of definitions.
