There is a lot of talk in this forum about god

67. No, there isn't 'a huge amount' of such evidence

And no, none of it has been 'verified'.

There are, of course, simple numerical problems with claims that humans get reincarnated, with a population that has increased hugely over thousands of years. It requires an idea of a soul that can hang around indefinitely in a non-material world, retaining memories, and which then, at some random point, decides to attach itself to a brain, and then be capable of remembering things from past lives, but not the early life of the human it has attached itself to. It then becomes entirely dependent on the physical working of the brain to create, store and recall memories, until the moment the brain dies, when it suddenly becomes an independent entity again.

Does this soul obey the laws of physics, like gravity and the laws of motion? If not, are the past memories you claim there are huge amounts of evenly distributed around the world, so that there's as much chance of a person born in the modern USA having a memory of a seventh Chinese person as a seventh century European?
