Why is decomposition not considered reincarnation? If your energy gets consumed into other living organisms and they give birth, aren't those nutrients and energy essentially 'You" passed on down the chain of life? But at the same time I've never seen anyone else consider it the same as reincarnation, because reincarnation is just a religious thing they don't equate it with a logical process that comes essentially exists as a 'transfer of matter between living things'
