I have trouble believing it, but I can't completely close my mind to the possibility, in part because my wife and I recently lost a dear dog of ours, and we would hope his "life force" or "soul" or whatever you'd call it might at least have moved on into another living form. Personally I think the whole idea of reincarnation is borne of religious belief. While I found the concept in the movie "The Fountain" pretty compelling, where Hugh Jackman's character is basically waiting in a little terrarium-like bubble to be delivered into a new body in between his human lives, I think it's a stretch to think that we have souls to begin with, and that these souls would pop out upon death and eventually coalesce into a new body. The concept seems too convoluted, at least when compared against processes in nature. If rain falls on a sunny day, after a while it evaporates after hitting the ground. You don't see the rain fall to the earth, turn bright yellow, zig zag around randomly on the ground, leap up into the air, and *then* evaporate. Nature seems to favor simplicity, and while we are pretty complex beings ourselves, I don't know that this means a mechanism exists to do this reincarnation stuff. I could be wrong, and I wouldn't mind if I were, it'd be cool.

Reincarnation seems logical based on the cycle of life and death here on earth. Here's my take on it: http://www.physicalityreport.com/hereafterstages.html

I am a non-believer. I don't believe in the supernatural because I see no reason to do so. There is little (if any) evidence pointing toward the supernatural, so I see no reason to invent such things.

Life after death is almost certainly a fantasy. There is nothing to suggest we have a immortal component- other that the elements - the atoms we are made of. When we die we will be just like before we were born - non-existent. +5
