Notice that you call It a 'He'. Ok, then. He designed the mortal form. We are born to eventually die. Medical science fights hard to subvert Nature but eventually in this form we die. 'His' idea is that we are just another component in the ecology that's constantly in flux. It's far greater than Humanity, contrary to what the Bible says about being there for the service of Man. Man?
To ensure the ecology functions it's contents have to adapt to adjustments as the various feedback controls work through. Species do that by procreation and spreading the statistical chance of adaptation.

Whether there's life after death is a matter of beliefs, including the form it will take. We seem to live in a pool of spirit so I haven't a clue of how much of our persona (to avoid the abused word 'ego') will be carried forward and not.

What's a Gen belief?
