Is there any major evidence that reincarnation exists?

Question

Or is it supported only by faith?

Answer 1

reincarnation is actually supported(loosely) by science.... i'll tell you how.

When you die and you are buried(considering your not in an air tight iron coffin...... The Energies and enymes in your body are broken down and eventually fertilize the dirt(well the bones take a while) So theoretically if a seed of a daisy, that was riding on the foot of lets say a fuzzy tailed squirrel, and just happened to fall where you were buried. The seeds roots reached down into the energies that once composed of your bodies for it's nutrients......... :) you would have turned into a daisy....

Believe it or not this does coincide with the belief of most Hindus because they believe that our spirit is no different than the spirit of that daisy..
"we are all one"

** i see i get thumbs down... Do you people actually know the real definition(not websters, or the western translation) of reincarnation and how it actually works?? Didn't think so

Answer 2

Since reincarnation is only the soul moving to a new body, then it can't be proven until you can at least prove in the existence of the soul.
They have done hypnosis on people where they viewed their past lives, but I hardly think that will be evidence enough.
Guess it is only faith, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Answer 3

There has been an attempt at serious scientific study of the phenomenon at the University of Virginia--there is a chair devoted to its study. http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/internet/personalitystudies/ The bulk of the research was done Dr. Ian Stevenson, the psychiatrist for whom the chair was endowed. Much of his research involved interviews with children who claimed to remember past lives. If you follow the above link, you will see that some children around the world, especially those from cultures in which the belief in reincarnation is the accepted norm, have produced evidence that is hard to explain away.

I met Dr. Stevenson when I worked at UVA, and he seemed a very normal, if stuffy man, definitely no member of the lunatic fringe. He was absorbed by his work, but not obsessed by it, and was able to maintain a scholarly detachment and skepticism that surprised me at the time.

Answer 4

it rather is been stated unequivocally over the pulpit frequently convention that reincarnation is a fake doctrine, so obscure "evidence" would not be something extra advantageous than academically thrilling to me. Edit: I even have lived lengthy sufficient to appreciate that many human beings somewhat twist and warp data to grow to be something on the brink of actuality, yet no longer there. A single actuality proving something is on no account sufficient evidence. As for the attractiveness or commonality of ideals being evidence, that's easily disregarded. approximately 500 years in the past, if there have been a ballot taken with regards to the form of the earth, the consensus would not have been around. the extensively-held thought would not have replaced the form of the earth interior the slightest. Resurrection is what occurs to human beings.

Answer 5

I do not know any Christians (if that is the type of faith you are talking about) who believe in reincarnation. I don't.

Answer 6

This question will be asked after a billion of years even. And atheists will say, look science couldn't prove Him, so He is not existing. Where then is the question of incarnation.

We should know that all science is not complete, if it is applied by our intellect. Science will be complete when we stop applying our intellect. Until that happens, we may be orbiting some space.

Answer 7

Neither evidence nor faith can help to get us know about reincarnation.
One has to experience it then only one can know it really. It is like falling in love. no matter how much literature is written or evidence is shown still experience can only revelate them.

Answer 8

The major evidence is that someone said so.

Answer 9

Yeah! I know two major ones namely Lord Krishna and Lord Buddha.

Answer 10

I don't know about proof, but there are cases reported where a child knows things about someone else's life. Some can be dismissed, but others can't be so easily discounted.
