We spend all this time arguing how did life evolve or how was life created? But life is the only true miracle. If we ask instead where did death come from?
Science has found that old age and death are caused by a genetic counter. Consider that the cells we are made from are the same material passed on for thousands of years. There is no reason why any living thing should stop producing young fresh healthy cells for itself and not just its offspring. An old couple can have children and the children have young healthy cells. Our cells only reproduce on average 10 times and every 7 years, giving us about 70 years of life. But science discovered the counter which counts out the number of times a cell has split and reproduced and when it has counted down it stops and eventually dies. They know this counter can be removed becuase it is not present in the reprocutice cells hence not counting down 10 generations of children to the end of a family line.
They have isolated this gene and added an extra counter in test subjects so it counts down for twice as long giving the test subjects a life twice as long as their species should have. But if the cells just kept reproducing and resetting the counter to keep going as happens when a new born baby is concieved, then our bodies would keep renewing young and healthy. So our cells could regenerate indefinately or forever even if now it’s only possible through our babies. But the reason our cells don’t last is because of that very specific gene that has evolved to tell them not to keep going, after their count down.
The question is, since evolution seems to take millions of years for such complex details of DNA programing to evolve, before cells evolved this death counter gene the life of all creatures prior to it’s appearance must have lived endlessly. So how far back in eternity do these imortal beings go, who we evolved from? And why did death evolve in them?
Kind of missing the point Phenix death is a genetic marker it HAD TO EVOLVE!!!
x2000 “over time” like the millions of years it took to evolve or the 70 year it takes to die? When do these copy errors come in?
Sorry typo above
