Wow. What a one-sided view of things! Evidently you do not see the Life....
Socrates tells us that death is the separation of the soul from the body, and nothing more. The body perishes; the imperishable soul does not.
Christianity tells us the same thing.
The problem is that if the universe consists only of what you can "see" — here defined as what you directly observe through sense perception — then the problem of the soul surviving death cannot ever become meaningful for you.
And so raygunfan, your evident "angst" is most understandable.
One of many reasons why I use the notion of a dimesnion from which life in individual organisms originates. A separate dimesnion makes the soul a timeless ‘thingy’ thus when detached from the physical body which is time bound, the soul exists in a timeless state. And the spirit is defined similarly, sourced in a separate nother dimension beyond even space, time, life, so not bound by time though it can be ‘mixed’ with variables of dimension time and dimension space so that events can occur. ... But to discuss such things with a determined to be anti-god mind is a fruitless exercise. ... As Monk would say, “I may be wrong now ... but I don’t think so.”
