It's amazing to me that you can link that article and yet mention fine tuning, or any designer and his design. Have you actually read the article?
Where, in that article, do you find any support for any of the claims you made with regards to our possible bid for immortality?
Where, in that article, do you find anything at all that would give me reason to restate myself, or reconsider my statements made with regards to death or longevity?
The universe came from "we don't know". How hard is that to understand? You're not giving an accurate representation of the theory you're attempting to argue against, and there's a name for that. Whether or not god exists didn't figure into any of my decisions regarding truth statements about the natural world. Not even remotely, so try again. I'm not defaulting to anything. Big Bang Cosmology is currently the most widely accepted cosmology because it better fits the evidence we have available.
Your bible is remarkably complex and accurate by what metrics? Complex as in a complex piece of literature? No, there are far better candidates for that title. Accurate as in factually accurate with respect to reality? Not even close. Morality? Sure, vicarious redemption and subsequent scapegoating is just so damned morally righteous that I almost can't even handle it. Your comment here about the big bang has been handled above. Again, you're talking out of your ass.
The effect of gravity is gravity....wtf are you talking about? I don't think you actually know....God has been considered, and god has been dismissed. Next. It was long apparent to people that dragons stole off maidens or brought good fortune, it's only recently that we have challenged this in their minds. Yes, the burden of proof for evolution was on those scientists who proposed it, they met that burden, and here we are.
(You don't know very much about Ockham's razor, and the massive dose of irony involved, do you?)
