"They, yeah." Sophia stares at him, searching for signs of a head injury or a hidden camera crew. Finding neither, she decides this must be his twisted form of play. "You're going crazy," she announces, grabbing her things. "I'm leaving." She's halfway to the door when his words stop her cold.

CHAPTER 233

Peter gazed out the car window as he said, "Human desires are like a black hole, bottomless and capable of devouring everything... Some even proposed that humans are not native to the Earth but rather sinners who are trapped here, living through endless cycles of life, from birth to aging and death."

"Do you buy into these fallacies too, Dr. Jones?" I scoffed.

"Fallacies? Theology is, in fact, the ultimate frontier of science. Everything inexplicable by science can be explained through theology," Peter sneered.

"For instance, immortality. It may seem conceptually impossible, but is it really so? Did people from 3,000 years ago ever anticipate that the average human lifespan could extend to 73 years old, as it does nowadays?"

"The advancement of medical technology has nearly doubled the human lifespan, leading to societal aging and increased burden."

I furrowed my brows, contemplating Peter's words.
