.....Our consciousness ceases to exist on the so-called death. It is the product of this brain and its experiences. What really dies is our consciousness. Nothing else dies.
I can agree that our consciousness dies at death being in harmony with Ecclesiastes 9:5 that the dead know nothing.
I find all of father Adam died when Adam returned to the dust of the ground as per Genesis 3:19.
So, in Scripture, Adam did Not come to life (consciousness) until after his God 'breathed the breath of life' into lifeless Adam.
Since Adam ' returned ' to lifelessness at death, then a person can Not ' return ' to a place he never was before.
So, to me mankind started from non-life, then to life, and ' returns ' at death going back to non-life.
Having No life until resurrected back to life.
