buddhists do not believe in reincarnation. buddhists believe in rebirth.
Buddhist do not believe in an eternal soul. It is the mind-stream, not the soul, which goes through rebirth and cycles in existence.
Buddhism is the one exception and is quite happy with the theory of evolution. In fact Buddhist philosophy actually requires evolution to take place - all things are seen as being transient, constantly becoming, existing for a while and then fading. The idea of unchanging species would not be compatible with Buddhist ontology ( sunyata).
Most religions teach that they are the one true path to salvation and all those people who chose (or were brought up in) the wrong paths will be judged by the True Religion's Founder and thrown into hell. This doctrine is known as exclusivism or judgementalism. Buddhism is not exclusivist. To a Buddhist any person guided in their activities by compassion is regarded as following a beneficial spiritual path.

well its incredibly selfish to believe that earth is the ONLY planet in all of the billions of galaxies that supports life. I suppose we'd probably reincarnate somewhere else. However by that time earth's souls will have probably moved on from the need to reincarnate and will have reached a higher level (nirvana, enlightenment, whatever you want to call it).

With the billions of galaxies in the Universe, some of them must have planets capable of supporting life in some form. Even if we Earthlings haven't colonized and terraformed other planets by that time, It won't be too hard to find a new home.

in case you have self theory in ghosts, you are able to prefer to have self theory in some variety of afterlife. if so, the international ending heavily isn't counted. As for my own ideals, i've got have been given self theory that Heaven and Hell and God exist exterior of time. as quickly as you die, time can have not have been given any added which ability to you.

If we're still on this world when it ends, then it'll be interesting to see what we reincarnate to.

Maybe Man will have colonized other galaxies by then and continue with the blood line.
