That is essentially a religious belief with no scientific basis.

It may be excessively optimistic, but it’s hardly unscientific or without foundation. There are animals whose biology does not age in the sense ours does, and we have done some incredible work increasing the healthy lifespan of lab rats/mice.

No, it's not. We are machines, we can be fixed. Just a matter of when, not if.

The laws of physics don't owe you a solution to any problem you wish to solve, including eternal life.

And even if the problem can be solved, evolution doesn't owe you sufficient intelligence for our species to solve it.

Any within the bounds of physical laws and resources available.
