No criticism intended. If I posted it to seem as such, sorry for that.

You stated that: "I think a belief in reincarnation necessarily must assume a managing force behind it".

My question was (more precisely):
Outside of a God (and Buddhism, what "managing force" are you suggesting that one must assume to exist? Or, are you suggesting one at all? (It now seems to me that you were not, as I am gathering you are a skeptic on reincarnation. I am also a skeptic, though I am open minded to the possibility).

However, can we rely merely on experience, good old common sense and opinion to guide us on such matters?

Or, are there other resources available to help us look into the future, such as cutting edge physics hat tells us that the real world is much stranger than most of us can imagine and some of the effects of quantum physics can seem somewhat mystical.

For example, Physicist Brian Josephson suggested that if telepathy exists (not that he said it can), then there's a physical mechanism that could explain it — Quantum entanglement. (Quantum entanglement can be seen as putting teleportation, in some form, within the area of science possibility in the future).

My point is, there are physical forces in our universe not yet figured out. They now may seem mystical to us,and, far beyond our experience and understanding.

Is it a possibility that reincarnation could fit within the possibilities of evolving science and fall completely outside the belief in a God? Maybe? But, I remain an open minded skeptic.

Unfortunately as we see with the history of science and ideas, often we are unable to overcome their conceptual limits.
