I have read several books on the subject, watched interviews with "experts", and read online theories.
I'm just curious as to what you all believe, and what type of evidence you have to back it up. I know, "evidence" is such a vague term for this question, but I'm looking for more personal experiences/things you've witnessed.

This is why the idea of reincarnation appeals to people.
They believe that if you live a "good" life here, then you will be reincarnated to live on earth again, but you will have a better life - because you lived a "good" life previously.
Now, here's where they take their brains out and completely stop thinking. Who judges their life - whether it's been a "good" one or not? They do! Yep, they are their own judge.
So, how many of those who believe in reincarnation are going to punish themselves and come back as a poor homeless person, or a crack-baby who only lives for a few months of agony?
It only takes a few minutes of serious thought to realize the idea of reincarnation is totally irrational and illogical.

I'm not sure. I don't think it says anything in the bible about it. I could be wrong, since I haven't read the whole thing through yet. I think there could be a chance that reincarnation exists. Maybe God wants people to have another chance to be good and do good on earth, so maybe He reincarnates them. It's just a theory though, until I read the bible all the way through which should be by the end of July 07

Depends on what you mean by reincarnation. I don't believe in anything supernatural, but on the other hand what many leading physicists call quantum immortality is at least a physical possiblity. The idea rests on the possibility that in an infinite universe our brain could have exact copies. And the idea that identity derives from the information contained and processing performed by those copies not from the specific brain hardware itself.

I believe in reincarnation. As far as "evidence" there is nothing that can prove it 100%. I guess I base my faith in it when I look at Nature. When a tree dies it falls and decomposes. What was the tree is turned into another tree by what it absorbs from the old. Nature likes to recycle. Why would Nature not recycle the energy that is our souls.

According to scripture I believe it is not an accurate concept.
JUDGMENT
BIBLE READING: Rev 20:11-15
KEY BIBLE VERSE: I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to what they had done. (Rev 20:12)
God's judgment is complete. At the judgment, the books are opened. They represent God's verdict, and in them are recorded the deeds of everyone, good or evil. We are not saved by deeds, but deeds are seen as clear evidence of a person's actual relationship with God. The Book of Life contains the names of those who have put their trust in Christ to save them.
God's judgment is final. Death and hades are thrown into the lake of fire. God's judgment is finished. The lake of fire is the ultimate destination of everything wicked — Satan, the beast, the false prophet, the demons, death, hades, and all those whose names are not recorded in the Book of Life because they did not place their faith in Jesus Christ. John's vision does not permit any gray areas in God's judgment. If by faith we have not identified with Christ, confessing him as Lord, there will be no hope, no second chance, no other appeal.

Scripture teaches that when we die we go to a waiting place known as Hades to await our final judgment. So when we die our fate is sealed. We are just waiting for the judge to pass sentence.

I think reincarnation is real because I have several memories of several previous incarnations.
I think 70-80 years is not long enough for souls to learn and grow mentally and spiritually to evolve to the next level (spiritual) level of existence.

From my understanding there is no reincarnation but some do believe and I have no evidence to this fact.

Sometimes what you can see with your mind can't be supported with your physical eyes. I become a strong believer of reincarnation because of the parallel it has with dreams; people under hypnotic trance revealing their past lives; and its the only most logical answer to some of my questions.
Is it possible to understand God in one life time?
Why am I here(karma)?
and more....
