Do you doubt there is an afterlife?
Consider the kinds of animal which become inanimate but can reanimate - some kinds of frogs, some species of caterpillars, etc - and consider those kinds of grubs and caterpillars that turn into a cocoon state of a virtually inanimate pool of chemicals without organs or any form and then reanimate as a completely different animal form. These all have a period in which their body is inanimate. Yet they as individuals still exist. They can exist for months in that state of their body being inanimate yet somehow their essence as individuals, their identities persisting. How can you doubt that there is a more general science to this which applies to humans after death?
