    So what's your purpose in writing this? So you'll continue to exist?
    Somehow I doubt your life depends on commenting on what I say. :-)

    Unfortunately, an infinity that might allow what you claim, doesn't exist
    in our universe which began (so we're told) at a specified time in the
    past about 13.7 billion years ago. 13.7 billion is hardly an "infinity"
    for the chance of life to occur.
