Atheists do you think reincarnation could be real?

Question

I mean one day your atoms will be recycled in nature and used by animals or something.

Couldn't that mean you might be reincarnated someday?

Answer 1

Reincarnation is of the soul NOT the body. I do not believe in a soul so the answer to your question (this is just my opinion) is no.

Answer 2

Nope, its just fantasy land, if reincarnation can b real and Atheists belive that then its bit stupid because for reincarnation there has to be some force, power, a God so Atheist and reincarnation is out of the question, and plus the fact if there was such thing then somone or something wud have said i was this in previous life and this happend and that but so far nothing like thid has come out, its all bull, there is jst GOD and hes watching us think of these things and rejecting him, worship God who put u here in the first place, dnt think what satan makes u.

Answer 3

No. The atoms of your body have already been recycled several times in your lifetime. If recycling atoms were all that mattered, there would already be multiple copies of you, before you die.

This atheist believes that there is no "soul" to recycle. Our unique self -identity is a byproduct of our brain, and when our brain dies, we die, never to be reincarnated.

Answer 4

The atoms in our bodies have been around for billions of years and without the slightest doubt have been recycled millions of times. They were a part of plants and animals that have been extinct for millions of years. That, however, is not how reincarnation is typically defined.

Answer 5

The question to your question is Does your body decompose and where does your very life go. Reincarnation is an easy way out to get recycled and you do not have to face the reality that life as we know it ends and there is no coming back to atone for our mistakes. I live in Japan they do not believe in reincarnation but then they also do not believe that after death there is still life. How depressing. There is an answer find Jesus and come to him just as you are and ask Him are you real?

Answer 6

A rather limited form of reincarnation called Quantum Immortality is only possible if the following two conditions are true.

1. Reality is infinite, or at least sufficiently large that multiple exact copies of our brain exist. This would include many-worlds interpretations of quantum mechanics but despite the posted links is really not limited by those interpretations.

2. Identity derives from brain process. Meaning If two brains perform the same exact process, and contain the same exact information they share the same identity.

If these two conditions are met then the death of one brain copy does not necessarily result in the death of all brain copies. And Identity continues on in living brain copies.

The key is we tend to assume that we only have one brain copy because our observations of reality are unable to distinguish between exact copies of reality. In fact quantum experiments such as Young's Double Slit experiment give us strong hints that reality is multi-valued. Indeed maybe the reason behind quantum indeterminacy is that we are unsure which exact copy of our brain we are. Observer collapse of the quantum wavefunction could simply be the splitting of the identity of the observer.

Answer 7

thats not reincarnation. reincarnation means you had another life before your current one and another life after. atoms being recycled doesnt count. do a bit of research

Answer 8

How would my atoms being used constitute reincarnation?

In that sense I cold be in several animals at once, parts of me in the air and soil and none of it would be me.

So, no it couldnt mean that.

Answer 9

what does being an atheist and reincarnation have to do with each other. I'm an atheist and know that I have lived more than one life. I've been places where I have experienced views from previous lives.

Answer 10

It's possible, but it presupposes the existence of a soul that is separate from the physical body. I see no evidence that leads me to believe this to be true.

Of course, the energy encompassed in the matter that is "me" will go to the fire that consumes my body or the life forms that decompose it; I suppose that could be a form of "reincarnation."
