Are we supposed to live

Answer 1

Yes indeed! Have you ever thought about the miraculous functioning of our bodies? Biologist Jared Diamond noted: "We replace the cells lining our intestine once every few days, those lining the urinary bladder once every two months, and our red blood cells once every four months." He concluded: "Nature is taking us apart and putting us back together every day." What does that actually mean? It means that regardless of how many years we might live-whether 8, 80, or even 800-our physical body remains very young. A scientist once estimated: "In a year approximately 98 percent of the atoms in us now will be replaced by other atoms that we take in in our air, food, and drink." Indeed, as David lauded, we are "wonderfully made." (Psalm 139:14) Based on the design of our physical bodies, an authority on aging said: "It is not obvious why aging should occur." It really seems that we should live forever. And this is why men are trying to achieve this goal through their technology.

Answer 2

There is no "supposed to" involved as this requires that there is some "higher" purpose for you to be here.We live and strive to live as long as we can.

The purpose is to breed and maintain the species.

If we're lucky we squeeze a bit of enjoyment out of the time we've go.
