Quote by Edgar Sheffield Brightman

If there is a God, man's immortality is certain. If not, Immortality would not be worth having.

If there is a God, man's immortality is certain. If not, Imm

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of immortality only holds value if there exists a God. If there is indeed a higher power, then human immortality becomes a reasonable possibility, providing reassurance and hope. On the other hand, if there is no such deity, the idea of immortality loses significance and becomes inconsequential or undesirable. Thus, the quote implies that the belief in God is essential in order for the notion of eternal life to have meaning or desirability.
