please think about this before calling me crazy or quote scripture at me!

everything thats alive will die its the only certainty we can be sure of

Every human has killed we do it everyday without even noticing it you tread on bugs, pick flowers, etc our existance is based on us killing other life forms which we then eat (yes you vegitarians and vegan still have to eat plants and there alive too) but this dosent bother us but if i was to kill another human then i'd be seen as a criminal, madman, murderer and harshly persucuted for it why is this?

Imagine an arrow being shot from a bow. In order to reach the target, the arrow must get midway though the distance it's being shot. But to get there, it has to reach half of that distance, and so on to an infinity of intermediary destinations. In conclusion, the arrow can never reach its final destination, or even leave the bow, for that matter.

This line of reasoning starts with apparently true hypotheses and reaches a false conclusion, by using a hidden "hole" in the logic.
What is that hole? What false assumption or deduction did Zenon make in order to reach the (obviously) false conclusion?

Im looking for excersises to excel my practicalites in the area of symbolic logic and the like (Or anything that is similar that may help in writing aritcles of philosophy). Yes, I am a beginner in the subject so I would appreciate some assistance in discovering some websites that will increase my abilities to apply this subject--a website that may allow me to utilize this subject in a practical sense, not just reading the literal sense. I have to learn by doing, not just reading. I have some introductory material on the subject with some excersises in the books, but for some odd reason I still feel Im not getting the needed substance to press forward. Any additional information will help, and any suggestions would be accepted!! Perhaps even an example from someone, or pointers as well. Thanks so much. Blessings.

Some examples,
# The day you forget your umbrella, it pours with rain.
# Nothing ever gets built to budget or to deadline.
# Your printer will always jam the night before something important is due.
# The other queue moves fast.
Do you have some more to add? Why is this happening like this?

Some people that believe in Reincarnation says that, the Eternal life after dead is incoherent, because people that born with imperfections or simple die during the birth,they don´t have the opportunity to live the unique life that God gives to them.

People who believe in Reencarnation usually believe in Karma ,Kamma. It is acceptable that when you see a people that was born with imperfections, you attribute those imperfections to his or her past life, to the karma?

Which of the beliefs is more coherent in this particular point?
Reencanation, Ethernal life after dead, or none?
