Can humans live as long as God?

Come what may, God is with you.

Even as the Universe evolves (see About genes, science, the Universe, evolution, God and all that stuff) no one - no caliph, bishop, mystic, naturalist and, let’s be clear, no scientist - is able to say for sure how the process started or why. Chances are none ever will.

If the Big Bang started it, next up is what started the Big Bang? If the Big Bang started itself, how did it have the necessary explosive? If it wasn’t an ‘explosion’ in that sense, just quantum fluctuation and an instant expansion of space*, where did the quanta come from and why the fluctuation?

Any way you think about it, you're into an infinite regression. In one Creation story the world stands on the back of a giant turtle, the reply to any query about that being it's turtles all the way down. There’s no way out of infinity. Only the possibility that there is no infinity and no mystery “out there” at all. 

Our brain did not evolve to deal with the infinite; it evolved dealing with our bounded “environment” here on Earth. When elementary single-celled life emerged in some boiling pool somewhere eons ago, its entire concern was surviving in the pool, not on planet Earth or Mars. It's at it there to this day. We humans tackle surviving on planets.

To go a little deeper into that, we're also able to grasp with no sense of a fathomless mystery the long past and formation of Earth and Mars, and before that, can conceive of a distant time when neither of them was around.

And it doesn't stop there. We know Earth in not going to last forever yet can imagine an infinite future for the Universe with humans a living part of it. Only a Beginning, try as we might, is beyond reach.

But what if there was no Beginning, if there is no answer, no question, no mystery, never will be - only ever God? What on earth would explain that?

Us.
