The truth about life beyond death is beyond us. In near death experiences, people report an indescribable Light (I call it Divine Light so I capitalize it) and they say it is an equally indescribable Infinite Love. Many report witnessing the experiences of their lives and feeling all they felt then along with all those felt who they interacted with.
I believe in an afterlife and I'm not claiming any view nor rejecting any view. How can we know what comes after this?
But I contemplate on the Naam as Vibration and Energy. Is that Vibration and Energy what causes hearts to beat innately and ears to hear innately and eyes to see innately and lungs to inhale & exhale? We can't turn them off (though medical technology is helping us via a "jumper cable" when hearts stop, etc.).
Whether that Energy goes somewhere or not is what Gurbani calls part of the mystery. Fools may try to describe it as if they know, but they don't really know. They speculate and then idolize their opinions.
I contemplated also on what the earth does in terms of re-incarnating. We are constantly reincarnating. IE- A bird eats seeds, flies through the air and excretes the seeds when it evacuates (in the feces). Often the seed grows in that place. Say it grows into a red flower with nectar, then hummingbirds might sip from the nectar. That nectar doesn't remain nectar, it reprocesses itself and may end up as the body of the bird. When that bird dies, its body decomposes and it becomes earth. If its lucky some form of life will catch hold of it and it will begin another life. How all this constant creation & destruction plays with our consciousness, only God knows.
I am 99% certain that it is Divine when we breathe, see, feel, heal, etc.. Science only explains part of that. But if a colony of ants can gather sand to make ant hills, that is miraculous for such a tiny ant brain! How can so complex a thing not be the soul performing via the Shekhinah/Spirit that exists within everything.
As for molecules. If we think of ourselves as auras and molecules and chi, we see all the maya for what it is. We just think in our self-importance, we are more than we are. From the moon, our miniscule lives aren't visible. So perhaps universes really do exist within each atom.

Namjiwan ji if you think reincarnation = recycling of our molecules, we might some common ground
