Its all about how one defines God. I believe we are all manifestations of energy. We need energy to continue to be conscious and cognitive. One of the fundemental laws of physics is called the Conservation of Energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It's constantly changing forms. I believe we have a higher power. I also believe we might bring some of our memories with us when we depart, however it might just be to comfort ourselves and I doubt they will last long as we change forms.
Another possibility is that we get recycled right here on earth. I have a scenario about it that i posted on Reddit. I'll c&p if you dont mind..
What if, that light everybody says they see at the end of the tunnel when they have Near Death experiences, what if it's just a light in the delivery room of a hospital and the tunnel is the birth canal , and when we realize what's happening, we cry like babies because we realize we are babies, and have to start all over again with baby bodies and baby abilities.
We're so frustrated because we can't tell anybody what we just went through, and we already miss everybody we left behind. We have these two young strangers, or one, that we have to trust with our lives and to get us to the point where we can set out on our own again and reclaim the lives we left behind .
For now we bide our time because we we don't know how to talk yet, we don't know how to walk yet, we can barely see, not to mention, where on the planet doesn't a runaway baby on the loose not look highly conspicuous..
...so we wait patiently while we learn how to use this brand new body. It's not even all the way developed yet. The motor movements are rough and weak. Body is frail. We know how to talk, we know how to use the grammar we use and have a vocabulary but lack the ability to form words consistently. We only have the ability to pronounce two syllables anyway.
You know how when you have a good dream, it's so vivid when you wake up in the morning, but then by lunch, you can't remember anything about it. It's like it never happened. What if that's what happens to our memories while we're learning how to use these new baby bodies. And maybe that's why nobody can remember what it's like to be a baby. All that time is spent scrubbing our memories from our past lives like we do to our dreams every day.
