Thanks to the advances in education in the last century, more and more people are realizing that science is the answer.
I don't want to bring back a topic that's been dead for 3 days, but Cmonkey is wrong about that. Science. An increaser of life. True. New medicines can help prolong death. But nothing more than prolong. There are 3 things you can count on in life: Birth, death, and taxes. See the middle one. Sure, you can work out in a gym. You can get really strong. But no matter how much exercizing you do, you will still end up dead. You will still wind up maggot food. You will still be 6 feet under. My point: It is not important to protect your body, but your soul. And science is a good thing, but it is not the answer.
