That ain’t what immortality means, no Darwinian garbage for substitutes
Two Paths to Immortality, Neither of Which Requires Religion.
Ways to be immortal without the help of God.

One of the gargantuan benefits of religion is that it provides believers with the promise of eternal life. The narrative varies across religions but generally speaking the message is as follows: “Don’t worry. Your time on Earth is only one small component of your greater eternal journey.” I am here to tell you that each of us can be immortal albeit without the need of having to believe in invisible deities.
Nice try, but it won’t work. The question of ‘immortality’ is very simple in essence, and very complex, or unknowable, in practice.
Substituting Darwin garbage about group/kin selection is egregious and misleading. And a discredit to science and that tag along called ‘psychology’.
