The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Little Rik]

Wow, that's some great evidence you presented. "Delaying the inevitable" is exactly what I've been talking about: people are living longer. This is reducing annual mortality rates, increasing population size and reducing the ratio of hospital beds to people.

The evidence is that.........
1) You keep on talking about the rich countries where many people can afford to delay the inevitable and not the global situation in which 80-90% of the people can not and die in the gutter.
2) Delaying the inevitable does not solve any problem either because they live a life of shit or because they carry on the present problem in a future life as they are not changing the way they live eliminating in this way the cause that produce the effect.
3) Medical science is mainly concerned about studying and eliminate the effect and very little about finding out what cause these effect.
4) Saturated fats and toxins are the main causes of too many diseases but you will find that most doctors will tell you that meat and eggs are ok. so when people are put on the wrong path it will be very difficult to see improvement in health.

It took me less time to find the answer to that question than it took you to write it. These are just the first results that came up for each:

A RESULT is when you sort of find a permanent solution to a certain problem.
But NO.
These are just research made on mice.
They may be promising as much as you want but until they come up with a PERMANENT solution then they are like farts.
Have you got an idea how many times medical science said that they found the cure for malaria?
So many times that i can't keep up the count.
It work for a while and then the mosquitoes come up with a different system so the research continue for ever and ever.
They give hope and make you feel better but the problem stay until the solution is found.
Soon or later they will find a solution of course but the real problem can not be eliminated until you feed the 3 horses that are within (physical, mental and spiritual).

Medical science (like all science) is exactly where it's always been: on the forefront of human knowledge and constantly pushing back the boundaries of what is possible.
Now how about you actually back up your assertions?

The boundaries of what is possible.
Not really.
Medical science without spirituality can not do that at the moment as it works in an arena in which the positive and the negative balance always each other.
The day that spirituality will be taken in the proper account the we will see real progress.
Why?
Because unlike the physical and mental aspect spirituality does not come with the negative side.
