Deconstruction or destruction - as long as it's absolute - is such a comforting idea. Wouldn't it be more comforting to know that at some point things would simply cease, hit zero, and disappear? That sounds so much nicer to me than eternity. What do you think?

I agree. We came from oblivion why be afraid of returning?

This would be impossible for things, but not for living beings. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to break something down until there is nothing left, however hard you should try, but humans beings are made out of compounds, so it is possible possible for us to come to a point where we are completely destroyed or annihilated (oblivion). We are not in the same way things are.
However, there is a positive sense of deconstructionism I would like to comment on from a spiritual point of view. Some powerfull drugs can be used to deconstruct the ego and take it to its basics. The idea we have about ourselves might be a hindrance to discover the true inner self, and this technique can be used to momentarily forget out past history and start all over again. The experience can be equal to that of a baby who starts realizing a fresh and brand new world full of possibilities. Would it not be great if we could possibly taste strawberries or sex by the very first time? This sense of deconstruction can be used as a way to go back to basics and start life as if you were born again.

Well, it may be restful, but is both theologically and scientifically unsound. Energy doesn't disappear. You either are something other than physical, and it goes on in some form (conscious or not), or you are just and animal and everything will cease to matter once your brain shuts down. Either way, the Universe goes on.

No, and matter has intelligence, their is even intelligence in chaos and order, so what do you think would happen to this intelligence, it is no possible chance that this world you and me exist out of pure chance, and if you are a mathematician or a physicist or biologist they can say the same.

I'm with Woody Allen on this one. "I don't want to achieve immortality through my works. I want to achieve it by not dying!" There's a lot one can see and do in eternity, and I want to experience it all. Death is for primitive, godfigure-worshipping hominids only a couple million years more advanced than animals.
Anyone who wishes for oblivion, is welcome to take that one-way trip. More space, resources, and fun for the rest of us!

To destroy everything whether good or bad and to start from zero? How would you know that it would be better this time?
