It seems Reincarnation explains phenomena like Homosexuality, Birth Marks, Unusual Phobias in children, Exceptional Talents in people and some other attributes that science hasn't yet explained.

So, what's your understanding on Reincarnation? Why do we come to life again and again?

i still think a lot of are memory is wiped out of us by are parents
cause a lot of kids remember names , area's , places , etc etc etc that they could have no idea about

i have thought about this many times before

why do we come back
cause we didn't learn the first time
cause we want to experiance life again
cause its fun
the list goes on and on

and yes i agree it does explain a lot but all so leaves a lot of unanswered as well

it runs along those lines of the Que. " why am i here? "

lol here is another off the wall thought for you
you know how bad the world is and all the unthinkable's going on this ball of mud
what if we are all ready in hell and we are working are way out of it ? : )

I agree this world is gradually becoming more and more disorderly...which is again similar to the concept of entropy in thermodynamics, that disorder can only increase in an isolated system.

But, my question is, why is the science fraternity not willing to accept it as a phenomenon and going ahead understanding it?

I'm not one for being a stick in the mud, however I don't think I believe in Reincarnation. I do like the idea and would love it to be true but I just don't see how it would fundamentally work. With most things, whether technical or mental problems, they have solutions. I can tend able to figure things out with ease and work out how things work, However the more complex something is the more difficult it would be to explain and understand and I think this falls into that category. I think the Idea of Reincarnation is Simple but how it is theorised to work fundamentally on a step by step basis would be far too complex to explain and therefore far too complex to be possible. How is it that my conscious eventually leaves my current body upon death and re-enters a developing body somewhere else in the world. I would like it to be the case that upon death you could choose what you want to be reincarnated into but then theres the otherside of random. It could be that your one of those things that lives for just one day then pick again or you could be a tortoise for 200 years and who's to say you wouldn't be born a tree for 80,000 years? I just don't see how it would work but would love it to be the case. Maybe you get reincarnated into another civilised race, deep into to space or a long time ago in a galaxy far far away I am reincarnated into a Jedi Chicken

i was told by a fortune teller in my younger years that i was a princess in my previous life...but sometimes i feel like a reincarnation of a Victorian lady...

Because it isn't science.

what you are talking about is Transmigration,not Reincarnation!

ThAts an interesting thought -

Why didn't Jesus come back

bible says he did...

its not uncommen
science is more of a we can do it over and over again to get the same outcome , there forth makes it fact (in there eyes)
since many dont remember there past lives (or joke at it for that matter) how would you go about proving it

I agree with you but the science fraternity refutes the phenomenon itself. They don't seem to acknowledge the evidence what some scientists have gathered till now.

My point is..if you cannot prove or understand something, just don't turn your face away from it and ignore its existence. One needs to endeavor understanding it till you can prove it.

"Its appointed unto men once to die, after that comes judgement" Dont be deceived

It isn't science and there isn't any scientific "evidence" gathered of which I am aware. If there is some, post it.

Please look up www.iisis.net

This website is dedicated to the works of Dr. Ian Stevenson and his followers who has studied some 2500 cases of Reincarnations in his 40 years of research. I must tell you he, himself didn't believe in reincarnation because of his religion. In his career he has written many books on evidences he had gathered on this phenomenon.

actually the early Church,into the Reign of Justinian did believe in Reincarnation!

Well, I'll be the first to say that science doesn't understand everything. It definitely falls under the "unexplained phenomena".

well, scientists don't work for free, someone has to pay or give research grants in order to study something... if your willing to donate the money for the research, and find a "qualified" scientist that actually knows something and is willing to use reincarnation as a career, then maybe you can get some answers....

Seriously?

Jesus is clearing brush along my fenceline, at the moment.

Are you volunteering to be a test subject?....to prove your point...

Well, if someone could take me as a subject, I would volunteer. Dr. Ian Stevenson himself wanted to test if he would remember this life in his next life. He is no more with us and nobody has yet claimed to be a reincarnation of Dr. Stevenson.

But anybody can go back to his/her previous life memories through past life regression sessions. Many practicing psychologists can help you remember what you were in your past life. That is pretty common.

Also, we don't understand our dreams well. Many a times we dream of a place we have never visited in this life.

I often have dream of a particular monastery somewhere in Tibet or Bhutan or maybe somewhere in India. I have never been to any monastery in this life and I am not a Buddhist by birth. But I have always been attracted by Buddha's thoughts. Possibly, I was a Buddhist in my previous birth and lived in a monastery as a monk.

I am Indian but my friends tell me I look more like a person from Tibet or Nepal. You will concur with it looking at my pic.

As we don't remember most of our dreams, most don't remember their previous birth. Some children remember around the age 2 to 5 and then gradually forget.
