To deny that energy can neither be created or destroyed is denying reality. Law of thermodynamics. Einsteins theory E=MC2 energy and matter are interchangeable based on that.
To postulate that the synapses in your brain and the electrical charges that go between them and down your spine.. deteriorate into nothingness after death.. is denying reality.
To accept that you are part of a greater force and energy, is just accepting the reality of science.
I cannot see the words flying through the air that are appearing on the screen now.. or the videos or programs that play on TV. They are a part of that unseen force of energy. Likewise a life lived in an being that needs energy in order to survive is also part of that energy force..and the life lived never goes away. It is all there, every thought, every deed.
Just to be fair.. Those who choose not to believe that we are part of a greater energy are not stupid. They embrace a different reality. I embrace the science. I am a part of God aka the greater force of energy. And a Christian to boot
