Can you describe the most convincing evidence for reincarnation?
- rodrigo 18y agoI dont view reincarnation as "me" waking up in some other body in some other time; IMHO it has to be on a gene level, "me" is just a bunch of genes wich have learned and contribute to the general pool. Or something like that.
- yters 18y agoWell, then anything adaptive is "reincarnation." You might as well just call it "adaptation," then, instead of redefining another word.
- rodrigo 18y agoThats it, i normally dont say "reincarnation". It seems to me that words like that were used to make graspable a concept thats hard to grasp; but it lost its sense when someboy tried to hard to make it fit in some view of things. Edit: It can also be called Evolution.
- FlorinAndrei 18y agoReincarnation is of secondary importance to buddhism, and indeed it gives the impression of a "bolted on" feature that was added later on to, presumably, satisfy the masses. The most strict interpretations of the buddhist doctrine actually posit the unreality of reincarnation. (n.b.: I am not a buddhist)
