Check out this Discovery Channel documentary about 3 compelling cases of reincarnation. It's very jaw dropping. No skeptic can debunk them. They will make you a believer. I was spell-bound when I saw this. See all 5 parts and you will be amazed afterward for sure!

Aww man... do I really have to do this living shit again?

Scepcop, in your own words, what makes you think they are paranormal events?

I'm a very strong believer in reincarnation because of several personal situations in which past life connections proved to be exceptionally solid. I'm likewise familiar with studies with young people who have very uncanny recollection of places, things and even languages they've never been exposed to in their current life and how such recall tends to exist up until around ages 6 and 7, rarely surviving puberty. . . at least not in as vivid a form as it does prior to "lost innocence". That is not to say that adults don't get flashes or find connections to things that "remind them" in that such is quite common. But very few adults have the ability to make the connections children do. The other uncanny thing here is that these children are frequently seen as prodigies, a high percentage of them having exceptional high IQ levels and typically one major skill such as mathematics, playing an instrument or vivid memory.

I'd be very hard pressed to find a reason to not believe in this "law of necessity". When it comes to spirituality Reincarnation & Karma make the most sense.

At least Scepcop has chanced upon a real researcher in the field, Jim Tucker, who took over Ian Stevenson's work at the university of virginia. But it''d be much better to discuss one of his actual papers rather than a youtube video.

It's a hard topic to really evaluate though, since really the research is more about going and interviewing people than doing a controlled experiment. It's hard to evaluate since we're basically forced to take people's word for a lot of stuff.

Can someone believe in reincarnation, but not God? Or, vice versa?

It's a good question, and one that I've brought up before. It seems to me that at least there would need to be some sort of celestial bureaucracy tasked with assigned souls to bodies. Some sort of coordination would be required. Unless we presume that when a fetus is conceived all the souls are somehow attracted to it and they fight to get through like sperm finding an egg!
