hmm.... not necessarily... there can be several possibilities to that (i've found 3)

1/ 1 god(dess) is born for 1 that dies.... so the population of heaven doesn't move (but that would vring the question of how the first born came to their defenite efective)

2/ as i've said before, there might some some sorts of paralel dementions and so gods and goddesses can expand if there is not enough space in heaven..

and 3/ as you have started papa... heaven might be infinite space in heaven... so it grows at the same time as the number of gods and goddesses grow...

Hmmmm. Well, I've read up on a theory that suggests that the goddess, and gods, don't die. They may be eternal, according to Keiichi's conversation with Peorth (when she was small and trying to cheer her up), however it is suggested that they are reborn. I can't really find the right word, but I believe that fits.

I've pulled up this information regarding the subject.

"According to Peorth in V21 Ch132 the goddesses have always existed and will always exist. However, given the fact that Belldandy was born at some point, goddesses apparently go through different incarnations during the course of their existence. The manga strongly suggests that the goddesses' current incarnations will live for several thousand years. For example, in V5 Ch34 Urd's license is suspended for 50 years because she tells too many lies. In V7 Ch47 Belldandy says that Urd may not be allowed to return to Earth for 1000 years.

There is no information as to how long the goddesses have been alive in their current incarnations."

If this is true, then the birth of gods and goddesses are not necessary, but may occur at any time.

And about the parallel universe theory is may be true to an extent. However, it is not necessarily parallel, as in it is its own universe, but not a seperate reality. If you look back to the "Terrible Master Urd" volumes, the Universal Superstring theory invalidates that point. After the superstring was cut the Universe should have been destroyed, right? Not really, especially when you consider that Heaven is held together by its own superstring. This is proven by the fact that Heaven did not collapse after the superstring was cut and Yggdrasil used its power to stabilize the universe Earth was held in.

Does this make any sense. I'll stop if you think it's annoying.

actually it's very interesting! ^^ i'd forgetten the detail about what Peorth said and the supersting thing.... hmm.... it's a little confusing the first time you read it.... but it does really make sense..... hehe.... we might be getting to it... keep it up! ^^

ehh well to tell you the truth you lost me there so some on please rexplain what thei where just talking about

Which one? The superstring theory or the age theory?

I think the Gods & Goddesses are eternal.They are Gods they can't die.@_@

hehe... yea but there are different kinds of eternities goku... (well i think so at least) there is the eternal eternity (no way what so ever to die... not the gods and goddesses case in AMG aparently), and the eternity not so eternal (there are still ways of killing a god or goddess, even if they can't die of old age...)

True, though I guess it is hard to find the words to explain it. In the case of Ah! My Goddess, the inhabitants of Heaven and Hell are eternal. They have the ability to survive for all eternity, however it is just that, an ability. There are factors that can cause them death, otherwise there would be no point in the doublet system. They are by no means immortal; forever existing in the universe and can not be killed by any force.

Hmmm, does that mean somewhere in yggsdrasil that there's a function to "Reset" them? Equating to their births/rebirths? Carrying the analogy of puters alil too far maybe. lol

ehhh *darn older people* YOU KEEP CONFUSING ME!!!! but i think i understand what you are sayin

Maybe not a "reset" command per se. I think that over time the physical manifestation of gods and goddess decay, all the while their souls are transferred or create a new manifestation. The reset button is a pretty good idea though... For some reason I can see a picture of some deity standing over a control pannel muttering, "darn arthritis. Finally starts kicking in after 15,000 years grumble grumble...*pushes big red button*"

Made me laugh for some reason. I think I've lost it. :help:

And what do you mean by old! ._.

Heheheh...an age reverser:bg:. The real fountain of youth and life!!! :bg: :bg: :bg:

"with age comes the beauty of wisdom and experience" hehehe i just came up with that!
Me, i just wanna stay young forever! where's that reset button we're talkin about!? it could come in handy one day!

wow what a beautiful little speach you have there dad

go you
