    That is one of the only things I believe in that has no substantial evidence. (I believe in karma and luck as well)

    I believe this because there are just too many patterns in history. There are too many important figures in history who are just like people before them.

    Look at Genghis Khan. He destroyed everyone before him and killed everything. He even drank blood so what does that tell you.

    And later along comes Hitler who took it a step further and destroyed everything in his path and took the people and abused, humiliated and tormented them.

    See any similarities? This is the only real proofs I can think of for reincarnation's existence

    The Boy Who Lived Before

    Well, first of all, it must be true because everyone knows that all ground-breaking, earth-shaking research is released through mymultiplesclerosis,co.uk. It's were I go for all my news. Who needs reputable news sources is my motto.

    Second, no.

    This is silly.

    Sure, the large details fit, a white house in scotland with a black-and-white border collie...but how many of those are there? That's like me saying there's a red house in Tennessee with a brown bloodhound.

    But once there, the kid didn't even recognize the place and the relatives shot down all specific details like the existence of the man he named or that such a man died after being hit by a car. And I'd be willing to bet most of this was conducted in less than valid scientific conditions.

    These stories are not true, have been proven false hundreds of times, and only the small-minded keep believing in them.

    the boy was probably influenced by family stories, television programmes, and other sources, then kept feeding the delusion as his parents doted on it and gave him more attention when he did so. He was pleasing his parents is all. It's what kids do.

    OK, let's say I knew aliens are gonna abduct me and erase my mind 24 hours ahead of it happening. I would gather all my closest friends, the ones I really love and just try and put onto words what they've meant to me and that though my mind and memories will be gone, as long as I am myself I will never forget them. I would ask my parents and some of those closest friends for forgiveness for all the things that I have put them through. And last, I'd probably rob a band, travel to Las Vegas and then steal or buy a Corvette ZR1 and race through the desert to Los Angeles in the night (I've always wanted to do that).

    I don't know really. Reincarnation is not something i'm very curious about. If i existed as something else before this i don't know it. If i'm going to come back after i die as a donkey i wouldn't know it either. It doesn't affect this existence at all so what does it really matter? This is how i feel about reincarnation. I refuse to go into depth on that subject...it seems like all the roads lead to dead ends.

    It seems to be a fact I'd rather not experience!

    It's only in recent times people have questioned it.

    Where were we before we were born & after we die? The energy/consciousness must come & go somewhere.

    Although I imagine it is defiantly possible I'm unconvinced by a lot of peoples claims(not All though)-

    for example; nearly every woman reincarnated believes they were once Cleopatra !

    What makes a child cry or laugh immediately on child birth? How does it know how to drink from its mother's breast? Why do different newborns behave differently to concepts of joy, sorrow, laughter, fear, food taste, people ? Possibly the genes composition? or some "carry over" emotions from the past birth?

    Whether we reincarnate or not, I do suspect that as a specie, we do carry the evolved genes of our parents and before which contain that mysterious x factor from our forefathers in the specie . This factor can be observed in how quickly newborns adapt to the present environment and technology and how this is faster than previous generations.

    according to my religion i shouldn't believe in reincarnation but i find it hard to completely toss the idea out of my head. i do see a lot of people in history that seem to be a little to similar in the ways they went about becoming remembered. i think i am like most people here because i am on the fence on this question it is one of those eternal questions that i think will never be answered

    Hi Stefano, friend,

      No, not really think there is reincarnation, I think when we die it all ends there and nothing more. I think people in their desire to cling to life and not want to die so totally believe in many things including reincarnation. It is very interesting news that we show, but who can say that is true, for my departing published articles are not as reliable.
