It can only be experienced in the current moment.
The current moment is the only place that meaning, purpose and significance can actually exist. Adding an infinitely long life does not change this. Each and every moment must stand on its own, and each experienced moment is 100% subjective.
You really are bad at this.
I don't disagree with the value of the moment at all. The point is very valid.
I am questioning the values set out in evolution theories.
What's the difference between a child who died and an old man who died?
Nothing.
If that child has a name, and is set for the resurrection and eternal life and recognition, that's a different story, especially if every treasured moment in that person's life is able to be relived through a restored memory, but I am dealing with the dark side here.
