You are imagining dead children for dramatic effect. Every next generation is the future, correct? How does that future develop in real time?>Rhetorical question since you exist in real time evolving since conceived to birth doesn't count as your time being a who you believe you are cradle to grave.
Avoiding what you been since conceived is self deception willingly practiced every breath you take, each heartbeat happening next until it doesn't anymore.
That missing link you never include debating creationism vs evolutionism by intellectual time relativity that history never had an official global international dateline until the 19th century AD.
the economic mantra "time is money" was always a misnomer to keep every generation gap in the same mantra of believing now isn't eternity regardless which reality an ancestral lineage honors daily. Every generation gap is a new family unit of parent child relativity, but there are 5 generation gaps overlapping daily.
Oops, intellectual 4 dimensions can't physically have 5 generation gaps spontaneously alive simultaneously here working 6 degrees of separation following 7 virtues to 7 sins daily from the thinking outside an 8 cornered triangulating box of circle logic leaving actual gaps in factual theoretical time lines.
Did your brain ever compare the numbers in genetic compounding ancestral lineages? 8 great grandparents, 4 grandparents, 2 parenting next generation gap is a universal constant of compounding chromosomes delivering each great great grandchild daily one at a time living eternally separated each rotation changing form since a fertilize cell same way your time lasted so far.
How many decades have you believed eternal life is beyond adapting here now? Ever meet an honest ancestor that would explain natural time evolving to you?
You just did.
