If you say so-- but looking at the "design" of a human body? It's meant to die, and make way for the next generation.
That's difficult to say, except for the fact that we know we are meant to die. I've heard it said that we seem to be "designed" to live forever, our cells keep renewing, but obviously there's something that causes us to die. This isn't in disagreement with the Bible. You can take the data you have and come to either conclusion, but there are all sorts of things you might not have taken into consideration, like the environment having radically changed, since, for example the flood, prior to which people lived much longer according to the Bible. Of course, you can't mix the Bible and science. You, for example, don't care what the Bible says on the subject, and I, even if science announced we were created by God, couldn't care less except that I wouldn't have to argue about science, which means little to me.
A static existence such as what you describe would quickly become... hellish, from tedium of repetition.
I disagree. Perhaps you are thinking of life as you know it continuing on forever, which would be hellish. When the Bible says that we were created perfect it means perfect as in a new born baby is perfect. That is that it has great potential. If you think about a newborn baby being perfect in the eyes of it's parents - fat, bald, toothless, unable to feed or relieve itself properly, talk, walk, see very well etc.
The angels were allowed to exist for a great period of time, in which they matured to the point where they didn't need someone to tell them the wisdom of their creator's sovereignty. The human beings living in a everlasting paradise will eventually be a great deal more advanced than we are. They will have more time to finish what they start and to see it all come to it's perfection.
And no, I do not consider worship to be a valid pastime-- worship is what slaves who's minds are broken to the whip, do for their owners.
People who say that tend to worship themselves, to no benefit to them, no expansion of freedom, no diminishing of responsibility and to their everlasting destruction. But, not to sound glib, to each his own.
And slavery? I consider quite immoral. In fact, since slavery is missing from the infamous 10 commandments?
I consider that list to also be immoral.
A lot of people are hung up on the slavery thing, not realizing that a far more insidious form of slavery exists that they live in, and we have for thousands of years. Of debt, fractional reserve banking, and of course, of sin.
