From the viewpoint of people with the averege lifetime of 35 years
are the maximal lifespan of 120 years and the etenity practically equal
:-)

(And regardless the value of the life expectancy, if something lasts all
my life, it is indistinguishable from eternal.)

But the elementary logic says:

If people who use the word for "eternity" derived from the word for
"lifespan" can not exist,
and we are speakers ot a language which derives the word for "eternity"
from the word for "lifespan",
then we do not exist
and therefore our all our arguments are immaterial and void :-)
