Nature can't make conscious decisions.Atheists : Why did nature decide for us to live once ? Any hope it might change its mind ?
Nature didn't change...we did.





We live once, just like every other species on this planet, as far as we can know at the moment. It's possible that someday, we might find a way to upload consciousness or redownload into a new body or something, but that seems kind of pointless.





Some people view this as the ultimate state of our species, - perhaps like the Humanoid Cylons from ';Battlestar Galactica';, whenever you die, you get uploaded and your consciousness downloaded into a new body.





The problem with this idea is that eventually, your body is new but there are some experiences you will eventually have that you would rather not have had. In this way, I think the natural order of the universe has done us a VERY BIG favor, in this way.





Because our lives are short , we can imagine that love, joy and companionship are enduring and life-long, rather than the reality which is that they are transitory and of-the-moment.





In this way, I think our shorter lifespan is a natural gift that we should embrace more readily than we do, so perhaps you might want to have one or two livetimes, but perhaps there comes a point after being 300 or 400 years old at which point being 20 for the 5th time just doesn't do it any more.





We can imagine that our experiences are novel and that life brings new experiences. That is REALLY the joy of being young, it's not necessarily the fact that you are physically young, so much as you are doing stuff - perhaps for the first time, and that is really the trick to staying young, no matter what your age.Atheists : Why did nature decide for us to live once ?

Better to ask a biologist or scientist of a relevant field. They understand how nature works better than non-qualified atheists. I'm not a scientist but I'd say it's because it's a chemical reaction that doesn't undo itself, eg. if you burn wood to charcoal the charcoal doesn't turn back into a piece of wood. If' there's a type of spirit or consciousness then there's mainly two theories: resurrection and reincarnation. I don't see a reason to believe in either.





Living is a good thing in normal circumstances so it would be nice if nature allowed for an afterlife. If there is no afterlife it doesn't matter because people won't be conscious to realise they don't exist.
Because it hasn't found a way to keep the cells multiplying forever....





the only way is to keep transferring the information (genes) to new vessels...
i just wonder why you think it is better to live multiple lives without taking with any memory of the past experiences. what exactly would be the point?
Nature is not a sentient being.





Our bodies are too complex to not decay over time; entropy did it.
You don't have to look at it like that.


Some people think by having children, in a way, you're living forever.
Of course, Christians know that we will live forever and God was the creator of all nature so he's the one who decides.
You are seeing agency where there is none.
great question! as a believer of GOD i will check back for more answers on this one...
