Life after Death and Reincarnation
I would use the word "rebirth" rather than "reincarnation". Reincarnation interprete as an entity with the same characteristic being born again. But for me the characteristic will change.
A lot of people have doubt on this law as no one have solid prove.
For me the prove goes like this:
1. (Base on the law of Karma)If one do good/bad deeds, the same deeds will return to the doer. Like when you hit an object, the same amount of force will be directed back to you. For an effect to take place, the conditions must be in-place. Hence some escape the effect during their present life due to the insufficient conditions. e.g To plan a tree you need all the conditions: seed(cause), light, water, ferterliser and etc. If it stop when one life ended than the law of Karma will not be true. For those who believe, do good deeds.
2. Base on sutras that talk about the true self nature(buddha nature) e.g. Heart Sutra, Shurangama Sutra and etc, the "self" we attached to is just a projection of our true mind due to discriminations and excessive mental activities. When one house is wear out(our body), the discrimination still continue and have another projection (on a different house). This is like dreaming, everything during dreaming is real and true until you wake up. But as our mind is so confuse(greed, hatred and attachment), we continue to start another dream and dream on. e.g. If a wealthy person lost all his money because he is dead and there is any chance for him to acquire back the wealth, being greedy he will take the chance(to be reborn). So it would not stop until you really wake up by cutting greed, hatred and attachment which enlightenment. So this is the cause why we are born.

It's a concept in fundamentalist Christian sects and among Hindus, I believe - though with different meanings. In fundamentalist Christianity, you can be "born again" only while still alive, while in Hinduism, it occurs after death.
So, it does "cross languages" - people all over the world, and not only fundamentalist Christians/Hindus, know of the concept, and I'd say a good number actually believe in it, at least as a possibility.

I believe in the possibility of rebirth. I think in most cases, we do not have memories of our past lives because it is a normal part of the rebirth process to erase the soul's old memories.
Because remembering your past life is a minority of people, I think that when people have memories from past lives, it is because somehow, their soul's old memories were not "erased" prior to reentry into this world.
There is definitely documentation of proven cases. I think you should look them up, that'd be a lot of fun to read about.

There is a molecular replacement in cells of body & due to it in about 6 years our body is totally replaced by other molecules i.e. the whole new body. Isn't it rebirth?

There is scientific evidence of rebirth, namely people who can recall with complete accuracy their past lives and how they died.
