   I believe immortality is pretty much a given fact on the "natural" level   
   as you say. On the atomic level or 'energy' level death, in absolute   
   terms, does not exist. Something never becomes an absolute nothing, the   
   universe would implode I suppose if this were not true.

   Most religions promise immorality for everyone. The difference usually   
   being, after one dies, if you have been good you get good things, if bad,   
   bad things. If you are not all that good but are not all that bad either   
   you get some of both, IOW, sent to Earth.
