Reincarnation or another form of after life?

Question

Do you agree there is more evidence to support reincarnation than any other forms of after life such as heaven?

I'll add to that.
There are many people who under hypnosis can recall many past life experiences. The evidence is sketchy at best but lets face it, that’s more evidence than there is for heaven.

Answer 1

When you die, your body goes back from the earth that it was created from. But the soul... Does it die, go to heaven, or get reincarnated? Accouding to Wikipedia: Energy is a conserved quantity, meaning that it cannot be created or destroyed, but only converted from one form into another. Thus, the total energy of the universe always remains constant. You could apply this to our souls, as I know many people that describe their soul as their life force and/or energy, you could say that a soul never dies, but it just changes form...

Answer 2

There has been studies to support what is called "genetic memory" in which certian memories are passed down to distant generations. So the belief in reincarnation can be somewhat substantiated by this fact. Whether or not people are "reborn" is something that I doubt will ever be determined. There is simply no way of knowing the truth. As far as heaven, well that would have to be based on your faith. Is there an actual heaven? I seriously doubt that, but I am agnostic and it is easy for me to say. Heaven is a belief, not a fact. And that is the difference.

Answer 3

Man is body, soul and spirit. The physical body eventually dies and decays - no argument there from anyone. That leaves the soul and spirit. If the soul is our eternal consciousness, then the spirit must be our life force, the energy that makes the body function. In Christianity, our body is a shell, our soul (consciousness) eternal, and our spirit something that just hangs around until the body wears out or is detroyed by disease or circumstance. Lazarus was dead. Jesus (if you hold to Christianity) restored his body and spirit (thus his body started to function again.) But where was the spirit and soul during the days Lazarus was dead and buried? Perhaps they were lying on a beach in Waikiki drinking margueritas? Lazarus remembered that he was dead - obviously his soul was conscious of that fact. The spirit is energy, and energy cannot of itself be created or destroyed, just converted to one form from another. The question is, is it plausible that the spirit and soul can come back after the person has died? The Bible proved that several times. Jesus brought several people "back to life" after they had died, as He Himself was brought back to life. The other question is, when it comes back, can it come back into a new physical body? The Bible also teaches that when the dead are resurrected at the rapture that all manner of disease and disfigurement will be eliminated - thus, technically a NEW body. Biblically, reincarnation is not only plausible, it is supported by the Bible as well.

Answer 4

The problem with reincarnation is that there is no specific law that governs it.

No body knows if we all reincarnate. Some people dont remember anything under hypnosis.

And it doesnt make sense for people to pay up for things theyve done in a lifetime they will rarely ever remember, even under hypnosis they wont remember each detail.

Why should I be paying up for something I dont even remember?

Also, even people who believe in reincarnation dont know for sure if they will be reincarnated again completely. If they did, wouldnt that take away from the excitement of being alive? Cause if we come to earth one time only, we will usually try to make better choices cause its the one and last time.

not trying to influence you here in your beliefs, just saying it dont make sense.

Answer 5

I am unfamiliar with any "factual evidence" of either, but I choose to believe in reincarnation, rather than heaven or hell.

Answer 6

My opinion: i think of that we are all in basic terms capability, on the middle. the entire universe is capability. whilst we die our capability in basic terms is going returned out to the universe to connect something of the capability, as capability won't be able to be made or destroyed; it could in basic terms be became into another type. If the capability that gets became right into a type on yet another planet of yet another species replaced into capability that we've faith belongs to us in this existence, then components of our larger strategies will decide on it. So, on that foundation, sure i think that we do reincarnate into yet another type of existence everywhere in the universe. thank you, i admire a stable think of.

Answer 7

i dont know about evidence but i do beleive in reincarnation. deja-vu is just a little too creepy to chalk up to dreams... and if they are jut dreams, then why are the coming true? does that make me a psychic? hmmm.... (blasted Jw's messin with my head all my life_

Answer 8

Can you please show me empirical evidence of reincarnation. Until I have it I will give reincarnation just as much credit as I give the heaven theory, and afterlife, none.

Answer 9

There is no real evidence to support either idea

Answer 10

Past-life regression, where you temporarily daydream about one of your past lives; it's apparently so real you'd swear it actually happened.
