In reply to the discussion: Searching For The Science Behind Reincarnation [View all]Science is discovery.
As if right this very moment we know all there is to know about everything in the universe and then some.
I'd rather do more experiments waiting for new discoveries and new understandings and new truths (until they're proven false) rather than cling to what we know contemporarily as the all knowing truth that can't be re-understood.
