Why should anyone be able to reverse that? Where does this idea come from? Yeah life happens and it ends. These complex chemicals actually do replicate and life goes on. But individuals end. You can hope gods give you a wild card alternative but that surely does seem a little weird.
After all, if you think it odd that life just came about through dumb energy, how much more weird must it be to imagine dumb energy giving rise to magical beings who in turn create life? Why the middle man? If you have no explanation for what gives rise to magical beings, why offer them as an explanation for what gives rise to the life we actually encounter on this planet? Doesn't work for me.
