• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

That's because it is a philosophical concept, not a scientific one. Something is generally considered living when it is self maintaining and dead when it is not longer able to repair itself.
No, it is not philosophical. It is empirical. You can see the difference between a live and dead body. You can measure it in terms of a beating heart, or breathing, or brain waves.

It's a big drop from a potential eternal life to a shaky maybe 120 years that's for sure.
The irony is that a turtle can outlive us and trees do it all the time.
Apparently something was ruined when Adam sinned and we inherited it.

Here is the technical explanation:
Why We Get Old: Programmed to die?

BTW
The only immortal cells that our human body can produce are cancerous cells.
