It's reasonable in the sense that humans need answers and death is still the ultimate mystery. Maybe there is something beyond this life, maybe not.

My guess is though at some point human beings will advance to the point where they have basically "cured" physical death to the point where they are able to live hundreds if not thousands of years. In that case, I think religion will basically be faded out as it won't really serve the same kind of need.

 


What I have learned from science is that nothing but energy and matter last.  Space is constantly expanding and we're always on the verge of the next big discovery with each piece of technology we put our thought and mind into. Recreation from that which has passed on, which is a smart universal tip to understand about recycling. Everything including planets and our very own sun has a lifespan. If humans were bright we wouldnt worry about living forever, but rather how to hop planets and systems to ensure our survival. By living for a long period of time we run the risk of devouring the resources of a planet as we multiply. I hate to say it, but we're like a virus that spreads. The good news is that we can cure the worst we bring by control ourselves and living sustainably wherever we rest our heads.
