Live to be 1000 Years Old?

An anonymous reader writes "The BBC has a long article by wonderfully be-whiskered Aubrey de Grey of SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) on how we may all live to be 1,000 years old... as this is the balanced BBC they are also running the opposing view."

In the future depicted in the book, most wealth and power is concentrated with the very old, leaving the young in society marginalized with very little upward mobility.

Those wacky science-fiction authors. What outlandish, freaky alternate realities will they come up with next?

Wow, well, it would be interesting if those links actually dealt with the points introduced in the link they "rebut"... but they only address 1, and only indirectly at that. Besides, the whole point of the link I gave was NOT that evolution is wrong (see other pages on the same site for that info) but that the things people have been told are so old on the Earth can form in much less time than people are usually told. Why don't you actually LOOK at the link (here it is again) before trying to rebutt it? Link (make sure there are no spaces): http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v23/i1/ho wold.asp
