No, energy can never be destroyed. Matter is converted to energy all the time, and energy can (theoretically) be converted back to matter.
The religious believe this proves that when we die,our matter {soul} is released from our body.
And just when did someone actually prove that there is a soul?
No I am not religious zealot that believes it but a question should be raised all people of the world , going back to the first people here have believed in something. Even reincarnation is a transferance of matter. If science wasn't even known then , why did all people believe that you went somewhere... Even before religion this belief existed.
The fact that so many believe something does not make it real. And reincarnation is, if it's true, a transference of soul, if there is such a thing. And the reason that so many people believe, want to believe, in some form of life after death is because they are afraid of death. It is very difficult to conceive of the universe continuing on without us, that our lives are so short and meaningless to the rest of the cosmos. It's much more comforting to believe that our souls will go somewhere, anywhere, after death. That doesn't make it true, however.
