So you're saying there's an absence of evidence?
We also have science showing that life expectancy is constantly increasing. Even you linked an article which relied on a study that noted that as a fact. They showed that the increase is now slower than it used to be — but it is still there. Thus, it would be preposterous to hypothesise that the current record for longest lives won't be broken constantly as life expectancy increases.
Observed maximum life span isn't synonymous with life expectancy.
You have no science showing that, the only science you even indirectly linked support exactly what I am saying, and I just quoted Wikipedia, which uses sources.
I literally laughed out loud. You're speaking out of your arse, just like I said.
