The Rise and Fall of Death

The modern scientific view, that natural death caused by aging is a disease, is perhaps the most fatal error science has ever made. In the day that we perfect a “cure” for aging death itself will rise up as the supreme ruler of this world. In that day humans, who previously only anticipated death with trepidation, will universally fear death more than the loss of their soul. In that day death will become the ultimate source of fear, and by said virtue, the ultimate despot over the entire world (or at least the parts that have “the cure”).
Fortunately, every prophecy of this event – and there are many such prophecies – also predicts that death's reign will be very short and disasterous. But we don't need prophecies to tell us this future. It is written plainly throughout our history.
