Live long and prosper

I'll start by saying this. I was raised Christian my whole life. I've seen many people die over the years. Not once have I seen anyone live longer due to their belief, practice or faith. Yes, i suppose it may be possible to an outsider to say " well he/she lived a glorious life, no drugs, alcohol or tobacco. They were a true saint for Lord." Too bad they died at 25 due to cancer. Oxymoron anyone? Religion, paths, faiths are suppose to give us hope, a way to be a better person but... I'm a science major. I revel in facts not fiction and hopes and dreams. Statistics and control group get my attention. No amount of research can PROVE whether religion served as a go between for long life and death rates. If it's your time, then it's your time. I don't believe you are chosen when it's your time, it just is. It's like life. Unexpected and beautiful, but has some nasty curves ahead.
