Case open, goinupru: Anti-Reincarnationists never stop trotting out that bit from Paul in Hebrews 9:27: "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" 1 Corinthians 15.31 records Paul as backtracking with, "I die everyday." Later on, in Revelation 21:8 you'll find, "This is the second death." A second death, and dying everyday, and dying only once can't all be literally true, hello?
That Hebrews quote does not refute reincarnation in the slightest, anyway. Of course a man dies once! We are mortals. We experience death and face "judgment" (analyzing our past life and its karma). Then we are reborn into a new man (or woman).
Jesus said, "Truly, literally, you must be born again" and "no one goes to heaven but he who came down from heaven". Jesus was an Essene rabbi whom some believe was the Messiah. The church corrupted most of his teachings, which clearly included reincarnation and karma.
I think 100% of the world knows reincarnation is true, but only about half admit that at a conscious level.

Yup and I am one of them.
Energy cannot be destroyed it just transforms into another state.
I don't believe in the Hindu version of reincarnation where humans come back as animals etc. I think the human soul is distinct from an animal soul or plant soul etc.
However I DO believe that the spirit lives on and whether in this physical plane, or the one beyond or moving between both (like some spirits) we are given the chance to work out our unfinished business and move up a step in the development of our soul.

not hard to believe...since 35% of the worlds population lives in India and China; both of which have strong religious traditions that accept reincarnation.

Your statistics is wrong. 54% of the world population are either Muslim or Christian.

Believing something is not the criteria for whether or not it is TRUE.
I can believe I am a frito...but hey....
Reincarnation is FALSE.
The bible says : "It is appointed unto man ONCE to die, and then comes the judgement."
Case closed.
