Not created, evolved to live 70 to 80 years.
In the absence of modern technology, I'd say the human species was created/evolved to live a far shorter lifespan than that.
The oldest confirmed age was 122, a Japanese woman.
It's currently theorized that this will become significantly more common in the coming decades due to advances in medical technology.

Would you have liked to stay in your mother's womb for longer?
Life on this earth is only a part of our existence. To stay here for extended lengths of time may not benefit us or help us be better prepared for the next phase.
Trust in the One who created you to know what is best in each individual case.

what do you mean "not created"? do you believe in evolution?

Many people hope that science and medical technology hold the key. but still there are a lot of deficiencies in these spheres.
Why, though, do humans go to so much trouble to extend life? Why do we want to live indefinitely? The British newspaper The Times asked: “Why this universal human obsession with cheating death, whether through immortality, resurrection, afterlife or reincarnation?”

'Cause death is scary.
Of course...
Since nobody else has stated it yet I thought I would pipe up and say that many theists also accept evolution inclusive of random gene mutation and natural selection

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Yep. It is. Perhaps not death itself but the question concerning whats next.
Probably more accurate... most of the time. I do know people who are scared of the event itself, though. ^_^

no one knows what it is like being dead. no one returned from the tomb. but we are afraid of death because :"Everything he has made pretty in its time. Even time indefinite he has put in their hear,..." we were created to live forever and we can't accept readily the death challenge

People to me have always been afraid of death because it appears to be the end. As much as we talk of reincarnation, or resurrection or some form of spiritual afterlife. When we look at a person who has died, be it slain or just natural death. It's scary, because what you see is an individual who had hopes, dreams, fears, aspirations, who felt emotions, did good or bad things, who was loved, cared for, or even hated. WHen you look at it, and you see people dead it seems like none of those things matter. So if you can live again, in some shape or form, then those things do matter, because they determine where you go, who you maybe come, and what you will be rewarded for. The idea that all these emotions and thoughts are just for a brief period...well that's frightening.
I wonder if animals have the same fears.
