in Islam, they say people "revert" instead of convert, because somehow, we all all "Muslims" at birth. I was just trying to figure this out, and it is not computing.

I guess I think of all moments as past and nonexistent. I am only experiencing this present moment, the rest is an illusion or my mind is making up stories about things that occurred. This is just my thinking. It's not really possible to revert if you think this way. Blessings and Namaste

If you never were that thing in any sense (even genetically), then you can't become that thing again in any sense, so you can't revert to it.
Of course you need to understand that your present state of existence is connected to many other things, such as the chemicals you are made up of and where they were before they came together to form you. So you can revert to that state since you were in a sense of that state.

"In his book The Fundamentals of Islaamic Monotheism, Abu Ameenah Bilaal Philips writes: Just as a child’s body submits to the physical laws which Allaah has put in nature, its soul also submits naturally to the fact that Allaah is its Lord and Creator. But its parents try to make it follow their own way and the child is not strong enough in the early stages of its life to resist or oppose its parents. The religion which the child follows at this stage is one of custom and upbringing and Allaah does not hold it to account for this religion."
Hope this helps!

Because Islam and the Qur'an teach that all people are born Muslim. Before the children are sent from Jinnah to their mothers they stand before ALLAH(SWT) and thus are Muslims.

well in islam if a christian becomes a muslim they are known as a revert because muslims believe that every human when they are born are muslim, because God creates humans to worship him alone, but the parents make then christians or jews. so when they grow up and if a human decides to be muslim they will have reverted or gone back to their origional religion that God created them in. so that is why you see so many muslim americans say they are reverts as they were raised christian and became muslim later in life but born muslim as all humans are.

Logic is rarely the basis for even scientific reasoning since science can be refuted with further study. It was once believed that Colombus discovered America when, in truth he was lost and believed himself to be in the West Indies thus naming my ancestors Indians.

When you die you revert to a state of not living, because before you were born you were not living, but YOU didn't exist then so it wasn't YOU that wasn't living.

So where is the situation that you think is impossible? Nothing in the definition fits what you seem to be asking

Huh? You have to form a question that makes sense. In what context is this question being asked?
