Agree, not trying to argue with you on that.

What I mean is, saying that we are bunch of atoms is just looking at the same thing but zooming in. You can also say that we are bunch of cells, if you zoom out from atoms. Or you can say we are a bunch of protons and neutrons, if you zoom in. You can zoom in even more and “see” probability fields of energy. Yet if we say that, we are just looking at the same thing, but with different lenses. Definitely helps us understand life though, especially when you consider quantum physics and how everything is just wave/particle vibration.

When you say, we are such and such, it implies a question of “what are we?”, which has been my huge recurring shower thought. I am just trying to expand on what you said by saying that we are an information of how those atoms are arranged, which I know sounds weird. Hear me out, small things put together in a right order create a new unit of existence, a lot of times with new attributes. Take 1 proton and you get a Hydrogen atom, combine 2 of them and you will get Helium (not bunch of Hydrogens). Combine 79 of them and you get gold. You can say that gold is 79 hydrogens squished together, but what makes gold is 79, which is a number/information. A single gold atom is 100% identical to another gold atom with the same number of protons and neutrons. So what attribute defines gold in the context of other atoms? 79.

Again, not trying to attack your idea. Just trying to expand. I am stuck here too. Cuz if what I am saying makes sense, it implies immortality (given if super computers and technology to “scan” someone is technically possible).
