I think the pursuit should be for eternal youth. That's what the figurative flaming sword prevents us grown ups from returning to. Sex is the forbidden fruit, and there's a loss of innocence (paradise lost) after the act or desire. Sex is like climbing a hill on your way out of Eden. At the peak you get a glimpse of where you came from, but every time you get farther away.roundshort said:Didn't we do eternal life already?
The only way back is to plant your own seed. That's why I think this story is perfect for Indy 4 and the 1950's. Whether Indy has offspring or not, he's in the middle of a baby boom, with little Spielbergs and Lucases running around everywhere. His colleagues have families. Guys he led in WWII have families. (Maybe even Henry and Willie have kids.) It's the perfect environment for him to find one, want one or have one, while doing the ultimate research into where they come from.
