Nice thread with some good points. But what do I know...;-)

Consider this. Nothing in the world, or even universe, is ever created or destroyed. All matter is simply changed from one form to another. I believe there is some scientific evidence for this viewpoint. So, if this is the case, surely all matter is simply recycled isn't it? It is simply a matter of course that the matter that was once part of a person becomes the matter that is part of another.

Does this not give at least some scientific basis for reincarnation? What part of that matter brings any memories with it, and how, is another argument altogether.

As to matters of faith. Well, I have faith in my own judgement. Does that mean that my judgement is suspect in some way as faith cannot be subject to scientific proof?

So. I believe in reincarnation. I have faith. Does this make me religious in any way? Answers on a postcard please...
