I really don't know @scholaris.pob whether immortality or eternity exist. All I know is the definition of the words.
Eternity - "infinite or unending time."
Immortality - "the ability to live forever; eternal life."
Actually they are not the same words although my brain categorizes them as one. Immortality cannot mean living a long time. It must mean living "forever" or the word wouldn't have "existed".
Immortality seems like nothing more than a concept.
How I feel about these word is a moot point. These words do exist in a physical world of time and space. Human beings must have contemplated a time of eternity and the possibility of immortality. Immortals speaking of eternity and immorality in physical time is a paradox. "Immortals are made" is also a paradox. I can deal with it. I've seen it done in several comic books. Wolverine is the best example I know of a man made immortal. I'm not sure if he really is a man at that point though. But that's another story.
