Thank you and point taken on the use of "true." I am actually working on a revision of the book for a few minor details.

So pointing that out is helpful!

As for life receiving energy from the sun which is of course true, my focus involves where the stuff of earth and life originated in the first place. Entropy factors into the existence of earth and life. A quote from the book. Organic cells form, reproduce, and die within complex organisms that are born, reproduce, and die, within species and civilizations that adapt to result in new species and civilizations or simply carry on until they become extinct. All because stars are born, die, and are replaced, some former and current stars facilitating habitable planets and life. As the late Dr. Carl Sagan famously said: “We are star stuff.”

Nicely put.
What is your consideration in relation to the possibility that man's technology will provide an efficient source of 'reality' for man's "soul" to traverse through time as entropy increases?

Thank you. Assuming reason somehow prevails over humankind's lesser impulses, who knows where technology may take us in a century or 2? I would think travel to other dimensions might prove feasible, and the existence of a soul as separate from the body could be old hat. 200 hundred years ago I bet it would not have been difficult to find people who would have thought that the possibility of something like the Internet was a wild fantasy, if not devil's work.
