Just saying, the creator offers eternal life in a plan intended to confound those who think they are wise. It's a good and timely question.
It could be that we have been working on immortality for a long time and it was just called something else. When antibiotics were first developed I'm sure they didn't say that it put us one step closer to immortality. Every medical discovery that came along was just praised as something to improve life. No one gave it a thought that, at some point in the future, all these discoveries combined might add up to immortality.

Almost every known disease is being worked on by scientists who are trying to find a cure. Did anyone ever stop to think what would happen if, one by one, they were all successful? What if they find a cure for Alzheimer's? I suppose everyone would be very happy about it, as long as they were sure that we would only live a little longer and then die from some other disease, like cancer.
