well, it's a game of words actually...we as humans are inmortal because we haven't died -yet-....but humanity will perish one time or another, thus it isn't eternal

Just because we haven't died yet doesn't mean we're immortal...

the condition for being immortal is not dying...thus, a human being is technically immortal until the time he perishes; for the reason that, though by experience we know that common human beings don't go past 90-100 years, what proof is there that one of those supposidely "common" folk won't go past the 1000 years? we've never seen it, true, but maybe those that have gone even past that mark chose not to be seen...we can prove mortality as much as we can prove immortality. Both can only be explained by experience, but experience sin't always the final answer, nor the final truth...it's just a phenomenon that occurs constantly, yet doesn't occur all of the time.
