Join Ben Thomas as he fearlessly explores the taboo topics of death, heaven, and eternal life. Over the next few videos, he’ll interview colleagues about different perspectives on living forever, from reincarnation to transhumanism to nihilism, among others.
Be Remembered
In our second episode of the series, ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’, join Ben Thomas, a seasoned medical doctor, and Charlie Styles, a vicar, as they investigate humanity’s quest for immortality. Both have been confronted by death and grief in their professional work, yet have noticed a curious, unwavering desire for humanity to leave a legacy and be remembered… What is this desire and where does it come from?
Transhumanism – Brain Uploaded
In the next episode of the series, ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’, join Ben Thomas and John Lennox as they explore transhumanism’s mission to extend human life, and ultimately prevent death, through scientific and technological development. Together, they investigate this ambitious goal and its potential impact on our lives today
Optimistic Nihilism
In the next episode of the series, ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’, join Ben Thomas and Sara Stevenson as they explore a view called ‘optimistic nihilism,’ which argues that, although an afterlife does not exist, our mortality could liberate us to find meaning in other ways. Together, they consider whether reconciling the universe’s lack of meaning with a personal search for significance presents a challenge.
Reincarnation
Millions of people around the world believe that karma and reincarnation are the means by which we live on after death. Join Ben Thomas and Rahil Patel, a former Hindu monk, in the next episode of the series, ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’, where they explore the differences between the Hindu hope in moksha, the liberation from the self from birth and rebirth, and the Christian hope in salvation.
Resurrection
In this episode of the series, ‘So You Want to Live Forever?’, join Ben Thomas and Alanzo Paul as they consider the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Did it happen? And, if it did, what does it mean? How does the resurrection of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago answer the human desire to live forever?
