Energy created nor destroyed.

[Huggy Bear]

Hello,

I was debating with a Christian friend of mine resently and she had an interesting thought about how god religion ect. Exist. She states that sense the soul, what makes us who were are, are electrical and chemical instances in our brian, essentially energy, that sense energy can noy be created nor destroyed then thqt proves that when the physical body ceased to exist the 'soul' of a person lives on by energy. In that she stated that that proves religion and afterlife are real. So i ask for any thoughts on the matter as i personally think it's a bit to far fetched.

Take a stick of dynamite.  Light the fuse.  Run away.  After the tremendous bang, go back and look for your stick of dynamite.

First of all that everything that comprised that stick of dynamite still exists, it's just in a different form. Matter and energy both have mass, which means if the dynamite was converted into energy, it still physically exists because energy has mass.

When you die, the chemical energy that your brain and body use simply dissipates. It is not destroyed, rather, it is passed on to the various small lifeforms that help our body decompose.
*edit*
I should add that for a bunch of so-called "critical thinkers" none of you questioned what Boru said (matter / energy cannot be created or destroyed remember), just blindly gave kudos, which shows you'll blindly follow any doctrine, as long as it's against religion...

A battery supplies energy chemically, but when a battery "dies" it can be recharged, why can't you then do the same for a human body?
