"- principles of thermodynamics - energy is always recycled."

Current understanding of science is that free energy in a thermodynamic system is subject to irreversible loss - see this Wikipedia article and its subordinate links, particularly Thermodynamic free energy.

Apart from some external system input, all atoms as a part of their thermodynamic systems decay to a state of "heat death."

If you read the information about Adam in the immediate context of Genesis, you will find that he is a "soul."

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
- Genesis 2:7

English "soul" == Hebrew נֶפֶשׁ (nephesh)

I'll repeat my question: What evidence do you have that the soul is eternal? When the human body dies, it stops breathing, it stops thinking. The atoms that comprise the brain stop transmitting electrical impulses. It all stops and rots...

"...for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."
- Genesis 3:19
