Matter and energy cannot be destroyed, they only change form
Yes, and the energy in your body is not ever destroyed. Your consciousness is electrical and chemical energy running a biological computer (brain). That energy is NOT lost when you die. Your brain will rot and be broken down by bacteria and worms, they will get that energy and it will continue FOREVER. The data, your consciousness, does not survive this energy transfer.
I highly suggest you read Demon Haunted World by Carl Sagan.
He really breaks down how much of this speculative stuff gets taken as fact without any proof, or even with proof to the contrary.
It really is applicable today when people are rejecting reality in favor of religion, crystals, and energy healing. He uncovers the psychological processes that make this happen over and over in the course of human existence.
TLDR; It’s all bullshit (he puts it way more respectfully)
