So, you believe in parallel existence because the only way to explain a finite number of souls given the population increases and decreases over time.

I'm not saying I believe in anything, I don't. What I'm saying is that the idea of reincarnation depends on us having a very basic misunderstanding of the self. If you couple that with a misunderstanding of time, then it's not a hard thing to wrap your head around. Saying "it's retarded" is, for lack of a better word, retarded.

I don't think I have a misunderstanding of time. To my knowledge, no one has ever travelled back in time or forwards in time.

This discussion is futile. You're arguing hypothetically. I don't understand the difference between reincarnation, at that point, and Scientology.

No one thinks they do.

Agreed. You're trying to disprove a metaphysical idea with physical restraints. I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying you're using a stupid argument to try and win a stupid debate.

You're calling a traveling penalty in a baseball game. Certain arguments don't work in certain debates.

And just to clarify, this is a fun and real discussion. Not a nonsensical quagmire like I was doing with SK raper.

that story posted about the little boy

quote:

As the nightmares continued, she asked him: 'Who is the little man?'
'Me,' he answered. His father asked: 'What happened to your plane?'
James replied: 'It crashed on fire.'
'Why did your plane crash?'
'It got shot,' he said.
'Who shot your plane?'
James made a disgusted face. 'The Japanese!' he said, with indignation
