The inanimate objects on earth, the stones, the streets, even the composition of flesh are the things we rely upon.
If they are no longer there or have been altered, we can, from available evidence, establish what has happened to them.
They give this world continuity and a sense of certainty, unlike the world of our dreams where nothing is certain and nothing can be guaranteed.That we can take the existence of inanimate objects for granted, is one of the triumphs of logic and classical physics.
The moral codes and dogma developed by the world's religions don't always defend those without souls.... or life, however the big picture includes all elements of creation, and some things have nothing to prove.
