Does this sound like a plausible explanation tying religion and science? According to Newtons law of Physics he believed for every action there was an equal and opposite reaction . Keeping this in Mind Einstien once stated that if we could use 100% of our brain power , we would become pure energy. Does this sound plausible then at death , this would describe a person becoming all knowing and an angel in heaven?

I very much doubt that Einstein ever said any such thing. You should be more discriminating in your choice of sources.
As an "explanation" this seems to assume that at death we start using 100% of our brain power. In fact at death our brains die. That's a rather serious flaw in your idea.
It's not clear why you cited Newton's law here, either - it has nothing to do with the rest of what you wrote.

No, because:
1) God and angels existed before matter or energy; the same level of existence that God offers saints.
2) God offers eternal spirit life to all, regardless of their intelligence.
3) (as mentioned by another) intelligence and spirituality are not equitable.
4) Who is to say that if we started using more of our brains that they wouldn't just get bigger? Thereby maintaining the 10% ratio.
5) Once born of the spirit, there is no brain. So there just seems to be no connection.
Sorry; you've probably been watching too much Stargate SG-1.

Well, going by Christian standards, only God is omniscient. But, becoming pure energy could give us a life after death. You also missed that matter cannot be destroyed only transferred. So, I'd say there is some plausibility to your theory, if you skip the all knowing angel/heaven part.

It is not plausible because when people die, they are dead, plain and simple. We humans made up the part about the soul separating from our bodies at death and living on. The soul is the actual person, and the spirit is the life force, or breath of life that God has given us. It is not an individual entity with thoughts or feelings, just the life in us. King Soloman who was the wisest king, gave us the info about what happens to us when we die.
Ecclesiastes 9:5: For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten.
Ecclesiastes 3:19-21: For there is an eventuality as respects the sons of mankind and an eventuality as respects the beast, and they have the same eventuality. As the one dies, so the other dies; and they all have but one spirit, so that there is no superiority of the man over the beast, for everything is vanity. 20 All are going to one place. They have all come to be from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust. 21 Who is there knowing the spirit of the sons of mankind, whether it is ascending upward; and the spirit of the beast, whether it is descending downward to the earth?
If we died and became angels, then it would not be necessary for God to resurrect us at a later date, that would not make sense:
Acts 24:15: and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
God created us to be humans and he created angels to be heavenly spirit creatures. His purpuse for us has not changed.
He created man to live forever. Adam and Eve knew that they were created to live forever, that is why Eve could be deceived by Satan when he said to her "you positively will not die", thereby calling God a liar, because God had told them that " as for eating of the tree that is in the middle of the garden, you must not eat from it, no, you must not touch it that you do n ot die"...well they did and they eventually died. Before that happened, they would have gone on living forever, and one day humans will again be able to live as humans...forever.
Psalms 37:29: "The righteous themselves will possess the earth, And they will reside forever upon it."
John 3:16: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. 17

Not so much of the brain power but the mind. What's the 4 forces in this universe? Water, Fire, Earth and Wind. We all know that these 4 forces are very strong and can be very destructive, but they are all still being limited by space. Without space or in vacuum, it's basically powerless, can't gives of it's energy. However, the mind is not limited by space, and it's the most powerful things on earth if we can really know how to develop it. Yes, it can give off any energy and most powerful energy. There are many people in the world who can move objects using mind, bend metal spoon using mind, read others' mind, etc... these are some example of it. But no one can ever use 100% of the brain power (mind) as we are being limited by our body, by our knowledge and beliefs...
If you really really read into the fundamental teachings of most religions, it's a practice of mind.

Oh, it sounds plausible, but you might want to recheck the Einstein quote. It is hard to let go of the idea that "we" go from being in existance to not being in existance. So it's not only plausible that we someone continue but attractive as well.
So I say, keep it as a reassuring belief. There certainly are worse!

The idea that we only use 10% or so of our brains is pure media myth. We use 100% of our brains already. The reason some people believe we only use 10% is because not all of the brain is dedicated to higher thinking functions -- but I assure you, without the heart regulation of your brainstem (or any of the other vital functions), you'd be too dead to notice the lack of higher brain functions.

That's a nice thought, but in actuality I don't think it possible. For starters, humans do not use 100% of their brains, myself included, and intelligence does not equate to spirituality.

I think they are insights that can be explored and examined using science-I don't believe in any God but I do believe there are many remarkable things to be revealed about humanity by science.

100% of our brain power?
What?
Do you mean that if we could make every neuron fire at once?
We would probably just have a fit and die.
