I laugh at the very concept of it unless you remember your former life and the time you were in the afterlife to make the decision.
Come on now, if you lived a former life, you would remember it or it obviously never happened. Your former life, your time in Heaven to decide to live a new life, you would REMEMBER that important decision and at least SOME of your former life.

Incarnation is believed in Hinduism. It means the soul is immortal but not the body. So according to Incarnation the soul leaves a body(when it dies) and reaches another. The rebirth depends on the deeds(karma) which were done in the previous life. For example if someone did very good deeds then they will reborn as a human being(considered highest form of life) and may be wealthy etc,. if some body did bad things they will born as an animal or anything else. I mean to say the new form of life depends on the good or bad deeds done in previous life. The process will repeat until the soul reaches moksha or until the end of the universe. Again its not proven practically, like any other theories of religion.

There are documented cases of people undergoing hypnosis and recalling "past lives" while in that state. There are some
who put it down to either genetic or false memory. If people
do have souls,and I don't necessarily mean the Christian
definition,it would be no less likely for them to go into new
physical bodies as "Heaven" or "Hell". Nobody really knows.
I do find your argument against it to be flawed. Memory is
a flawed and unpredictable thing. You're so sure we would
remember?
Do you remember being an infant? Or two years old?
Do you remember preschool?
More recently,do you even remember what you did last
Wednesday or what you dreamed last night?
I'm not saying reincarnation is real,but if it is the memories would be buried in the subconscious and not readily available.

well, reincarnation means new birth, and its hard to go on with a new life, if you are hanging onto the old one
i do think that often people remember, sometimes if they have a need to or if they experience the type childhood that brings it forth
i myself, as a small child, had this "memory" in my mind, i thought it was movies i had seen, till later in my early 20's i realized they didnt have movies like that back then, and the emotions i related to it where the emotions of a grown woman
was this past life memories that somehow came out? i think so, otherwise i dont have any idea what it was, plus many of the concepts i have now, i have had since childhood, though its not the views of my family i was born into nor the culture i grew up in

How would you remember when memory is a brain function. The brain dissolves, like other tissue.
The universe cycles, and mind and karma are not physical. Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you hope something, doesn't mean it will happen. Dreams and hopes and thoughts and karma, and reincarnation are aspects of the non-physical. So apparently is dark energy, so are microwaves, so are cell-phone conversations. One hundred years ago they didn't exist because the public didn't know, or because scientists couldn't prove them? Just because people want reincarnation doesn't prove or disprove it.

I believe in reincarnation. I remember my former lives. The mistakes I made, the people I knew, and it gives me guidance to what I need to do here now, so I can reach my final life and become perfect in spirit. I believe that we are part of the universe that it will reabsorb me and spit me back out. It is more of a matter of faith.
