Here it's a lot to read though

I've actually read ian stevenson's work

pfff shiv

Reincarnation is a loose term

Technically we replace the atoms in our very body several times over the course of life,
So we're not even ourselves by next year

So if thats the case,
a part of us, will be the food someone else eats at some point


On the other hand,
If you die, your atoms become part of the surroundings, which are then consumed and absorbed by other beings, and then become part of a new creature


So Reincarnation doesn't work scientifically

I WAS INTERESTED

i know a gay guy, with an identical twin, who is not gay

grew up in the same environment, non split etc etc

I mean do humans work scientifically?

naturally their environs where not exactly the same, but i suspect its gona be in a very little thing

I read through that link prior to it being posted here. It's not proof of reincarnation

TL:DR

A piss i took last year, is part of some fish animals body in Australia by now

regardless, just cause there is no explenation, does not mean that there is non to be found

assuming its impossible to find a cause is a fallacy whos name i cant come up with atm

I hate that mindset if there is no explanation then it isn't real

That's so stupid

The best evidence for reincarnation according to ian stevenson, are the number of "cases of subjects who have birthmarks or birth defects that seem to derive from previous lives. These marks and defects correspond closely in size and location to wounds (occasionally other marks) on the deceased person whose life the child later claims to remember."*

oof

wait

At the very least there is something going on that we don't know about

CAPITAL OOF is more appropriate

That's always the case

XD my birthark covers my dick XD

So why brush it aside?

uh oh

But it doesn't mean two things are related

Extraordinary claims without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence

And something to keep in my mind, is that none of his work is peer reviewed by actual peers

(serious)

Do you believe in every supernatural claim?

it has only been published in pseudoscience journals

if we stick to the scientific method this is clearly not science, as the theory is non falsefiable

its also non-provable

Honestly it's either that or submit myself to moral nihilism

Except that's not true

Those are two extremes.

moral nihilism aint so bad

Also it's theoretically provable

you dont feel strongly one way or the other

not really, you can do what i do and be agnostic on the subject

nah moral nihilism has a solution

If I'm just gonna disappear into nothing then what's the point in anything?
