Yes, I believe in reincarnation. There are so many signs of proof of this, if you research it. When I had my daughter, she was just a wee baby and whenever she heard an ambulance, even if it was from a far off distance, she would become hysterical and freak out crying for no reason. When I calmly talked to her, she would settle down but I had to remind her that she was in a new life now and that was from her past life. She got over it in time.

The material energy, a part of which is our body, is constantly in flux. Every moment the cells of our body are dying and being replaced so that every 7 years each and every cell has been replaced at least once. If we are the body, which body are we? By the time we're 50, we've had 7 completely different bodies, yet we know we're the same person despite all these changes. What is providing our constant identity? That is the spirit soul, the spiritual energy. If we are constantly changing our body in this life, what is the problem to accept that the unchanging, eternal soul can transmigrate into another body at death?
When we dream the mind travels to other places and engages in other activities. During the dream we think the dream body is real and those activities are real. But because the gross material body lying in bed is still viable, we have to come back to it again and resume that life. But when the gross body is no longer viable, our mind carries us to another womb, another mother and we get another gross body from that mother. This is arranged by the material nature under the direction of the Supreme Lord.
Transmigration of the soul is going on in this life, what to speak of in the future. Its a simple thing anyone with a little thought can understand. Its not a religious belief, its reality. Everyone must get old and die, but because we are the spiritual energy within the body that doesn't die, we have to accept another body.
The Bhagavad-gita, especially the second chapter, gives a lot more info about this. You can check out an online edition here: http://www.krishna.com/e-books/ After reading this one you want a copy for yourself, let me know. I've got an extra.

No. because one can't establish the fact that it occurs through the empirical method. In addition, even it was true, when you come back, you don't know what your bad karma was and how to eliminate, it is hit or miss. It also assumes that animal have souls, which is easily disputable; reincarnation rests on the shifting sands of doubt.

No, I believe in Creating and the Bible. The purpose for the earth is to be inhabited as a Paradise like he originally intended. God will soon take all suffering and pain away and get rid of the wickedness that plagues us today (The Devil). Then we will live forever in perfection and people that have died over the years will be resurrected so they can enjoy the world as God intended as well. We are living in the last days.

From ashes to ashes; from dust to dust. If you say that upon death we become part of universal matter; then, we contribute to what arises from that matter. In that sense, we are a part of the continuing circle of life that drives universal matter.
This seems logical and acceptable. The populist definition of reincarnation is not unacceptable from that point of view.

I don't know but at one time I did think my daughter was reincarnated from my grandmother. She knew things only my grandmother knew. But as she got older she didn't remember saying things.

Yes!! Well we all have life lessons and if we don't we come back until we achieve this. Myself I believe that my purpose is to mark everybody with there own mark "tattoo". I also think I've been back to this world several times. Having said that good luck on your endeavor.

naw. I think once our body dies, it just rots. But our soul lies dormant until judgement day. Then our soul is resurrected and we are judged. I was brought up a Christian which probably helped form my ideas about this stuff. I believe it with all my heart and mind.

Because the life, death and rebirth cycle is clearly visible every single day in the natural world.
Why should humans be an exception to this?
