Why still we dont accept reencarnation? and Why do we still think we are alone in a huge universe?

I personally believe that we are reincarnated and there are others in the universe...others don't believe because they are narrow minded and scared, they could also be young souls that don't have much experience.

Because life is too hard a thing to deal with without the comforting idea of a higher power.\n\nWhat would be the explanation for suffering?\nWhat would be expected after death?\nWhat would be the sense of existence?\nWhat would moral be based on?\nHow would have everything begun?\n\nToo much for an average human to bear. \n\nThey prefer to deal with fantasies than to deal with reality. \n\nReality: \nSuffer has no explanation. \nLife is neutral. \nYou´re not going anywhere when you die, just fusion with the whole. \nNo one made us: we are just byproducts of the complex mesh that is called universe, and evolution, and natural selection. \nExistence, has no sense at all. \nMoral, will depend only on your sense of good and bad (actually very few atheists -if any- are amorals).\n\nTerrifying, isn´t it?\n\nThat´s why religious people would rather die than accepting the non-existence of their God.\n\nAnd that´s just fine! Childish though, in my point of view...\n\nGood question.

I have to disagree with a previous respondent who said, "What do you remember before you were born? Well that is exactly what it will be like after you die."  Has he been dead already?  How does he know?  I THINK -- although no one can know for sure -- that we will certainly know when we're dead.  When you ask about experiencing the world around us, you're automatically asking about the afterlife, with some interplay with religious beliefs -- there's no separating one from the other.  Because I believe there's an afterlife, I also believe that we will experience the world around us, but on another plane.  Certainly we'll be able to interact after death, but primarily and most directly with those who have already died as well.

We already know the answer to that... for the same reason everyone fears death.  No one (no matter how much they holler otherwise) KNOWS there is an afterlife.  Beliefs just aren't that comforting when the end is near.

I believe that our soul journeys through this world, in many different lifetimes, till we have learned all the lessons put before us and we attain enlightenment.  Then our soul is freed from this earth and obtains a celestial form.  I don't believe in heaven or hell.  Hell is re-living the same lesson over and over again because we're too stupid to get it!  I've known a few people who have done that!  I don't think our souls could inhabit an animal body.  That just doesn't make sense to me.

Philosophers have been asking these questions for thousand of years. Modern science has not helped explain our beliefs, but you could be asking yourself, "if the soul can't be perceived, and no residence has been found, does it actually exist?". Really, a ghost in the machine? It just can't stand up to logic.

nah.\n\n may be there is no afterlife but death is a reality. people are afraid of death even if they believe in it. as many others said to people are more afraid about how they are going to die. when you are dead you are just dead. no pain. no suffering. nothing. body is destroyed ultimately. back to "panch tatva" (5 elements- earth, water,fire,air, eather/zero/sky fifh element is diificult to translate in english). \n\n  there is a story of dialogues between a Yaksha and Yuddhishthir. "what is the biggest surprise in this world" asked yaksha. "people die everyday; each mortal has to die one day or another; even then in general people are afraid to accept it as a reality which will befall on them too eventually" yuddhishthir said.\n\ni am not in denial. i concentrate on my karma and try to have a ballanced life and attitude and be good. it is for my own satisfaction. \n\nKrishna said  "Karmanyevaadhikaraste" we can only do deeds the result is not in our hands. so if there is heaven or next birth or there is just nothing it does not matter. if there is them i hope my karma was good enough.

Have you ever come to the realization that humans, nature (both flora and fauna) is but putrid waste that gets transformed over and over? We are born, live for a while, die, our waste is consumed by plants that serve as food for animals which other humans eat, and the cycle repeats itself thousands of times for millenia to come. There is truly no sense or permanent consciousness of self.  When that happens you stop looking for purpose, and lack of purpose forces you to start questioning traditional consciousnes embedded doctrines.  Hence, people question the Christians beliefs and the existence of God.\n\nMay the lord have mercy on our souls...Amen.

The idea of reincarnation, from my understanding, appears in Indian Hinduism.  In these cultures there is the caste system, untouchables at the lowest, most subserviant end of society and Brahmans at the highest end.  There is very little social mobility;  You cannot change caste in one life time.\nElevation in life's standing come through leading a good life.  If un untouchable lives a bad life he could expect to come back as an elephant or cow.  If he was a bad cow, he might come back as a goat.  A Good Braham enters the first level of heaven and even there, there are levels, 14 I think.\nAs a westener, I find this a facinating insight as to how our culture forms our faith stories.  Notice the principle is the same in ours and theirs: Be good and you will be rewarded.

Our existence as humans is a temporary state, so to think of someone who has passed away is simple, however life goes on with out there existence, however the energy which makes up there body remains, as nothing destroys energy, they can only alter its form.\n\nNow try to imagine the non existence of our universe, or the non existence of matter which makes up this planet, and the sun, and everything which is our universe.\n\nThat I would say is not so simple to imagine, because we know it to exist, and with direct respect to its existence where do you suppose it came from, can something as tangible as energy, matter, and the universe, non energy, anti matter just exist with out a beginning, or creation.\n\nWell I believe that this is the greatest proof of God Almighty, as I see the proof, and I dare any single person, our group of people to prove differently.\n\nI not only know that God Almighty exists but I shall find him and become God like in the process, and with that knowledge anything, and everything becomes not only possible, but probable.\n\nThe Bible tells us that we were created in Gods image, and Jesus Christ after raising Lazarus from the dead, after he had past away three days prior said Greater things than I have done you shall do also.\n\nI believe that it is Gods wish for us to unravel the mysteries of the universe, and join him.\nAt this point in time we are not even capable of bringing a person back from the dead who has passed away six minutes prior.\n\nI believe in God, and I believe we can become God like and I shall pursue that end, and with Gods help, we shall all become immortal, and populate the universe with total knowledge comes total understanding, and total bliss.

I believe in the existence of a life after death.But I don't believe that anyone can describe it accurately nor judge on who goes where and why.That is up to someone or something that is beyond our current level of understanding and our only guide is often mistranslated religious texts of various religions that may or may not hold guidance in a better way of life in order to gain a better life after death.but these texts and religious beliefs should never be used to try and judge others or behave with self righteous attitudes carried by self propaganda.

That question has many answears depending on your believes. You can go to heaven, you can reincarnate in something else, or become nothing after your life cycle ends. There is really no answear to a question like that, for no one knows the answear

We'll never know. And what's the point of knowing anyways? If you know you go to an afterlife paradise like heaven... won't you just kill yourself? If you know that you would go into another life, like reincarnation... you'll still forget everything you know now, so you wouldn't know that you've been through reincarnation in your new life... what do you know? This life may be your five thousandth reincarnation... what's the point of knowing if you'll forget in your new life?\n\nThese kind of questions are just there to let us ponder... let us know that we'll never know... yet still ponder...

Reincarntion is a true and proved phenomena. know something about it.\n\nReincarnation: Why Believe?Once I have begun to base my sense of ‘who I am’ on perceiving myself as a soul rather than on perceiving only my temporary costume, the body, I deeply realize that, as a being of spiritual energy giving life to the body, I am immortal. I begin to understand that I change bodily costumes just as a snake sheds its skin, but I – the eternal soul – can never die.\n\nDeath and Rebirth\nAt the moment of physical death, the soul withdraws its energy from the organs of the body and vacates its seat in the middle of the forehead. It takes with it the impressions accumulated in that life and enters into the body of an unborn baby, while that new body is still being formed in its mother’s womb. This normally happens between the fourth and fifth month of pregnancy. A human soul only enters a human body. The type of body the soul enters and the conditions of birth are determined by the past actions of the soul in its previous life or lives, and the cumulative account of give and take that it has built up with other souls. Without proper understanding of this process, the leaving of one body and the taking of another is often an experience of great fear and anguish; but the details of the old life are soon obliterated by new experiences so that the soul is not overwhelmed and confused by past memories.\n\nReincarnation: What You Take With You\nBy the time the baby’s body and brain are developed, the soul has all but forgotten the past and become accustomed to its new conditions and to the parents of its new body. However, although the soul cannot usually remember details of its past life or lives, it carries with it—in the form of attitudes, tendencies and personality—the cumulative effect of all that it has experienced and learned. All that is genetically brought to the new life is the physical make-up of the body, the racial type, the colour of eyes, shape of nose and so on. And although the environment in which a child is raised – as well as the personalities of those around the child – definitely exert an influence on the child’s development, its tendencies and reactions to people and events are not biologically generated but are inherent in the soul from previous existences. Those predominant impressions recorded in the past life soon begin to manifest themselves and are expressed in the new surroundings.\n\nRelationship in Other Lifetimes\nHuman life is based on inter–relationships between souls, which in turn are based on the different impressions present in each. These impressions determine the course of life, the nature of the soul’s activities and its physical placement in a particular environment. Thus there is typically a link or an ‘account’ between two souls who have formed a relationship in one lifetime; that link will bring them together again in other lifetimes. This explains why many people have the sense of having met or known a person before, even though they are apparently meeting for the first time. Or they experience meeting someone with the feeling of either attraction or repulsion even though they don’t know them well enough in the current life to have developed those feelings. What is taking place is that the soul is recognizing the other soul – even though they have different bodies – from the last time they met.\n\nReincarnation: Process of Rebirth\nReincarnation is a process of rebirth. With each death comes a new birth and the opening of a new chapter in the never ending story of life. With each new birth the soul carries on with its journey through eternity where it left off in terms of its ‘accounts’ in the previous birth. The soul is not the victim of an angry or vengeful God condemning it to a lifetime of deprivation or suffering for no apparent reason. The soul inherits a past created by its own self. The fact that the precise past causes for the circumstances of the
