Billions of people and hundreds of cultures have sworn on the existence of reincarnation. Now supportive research has been done on the subject by PhDs from many fields, with the most famous being Ian Stevenson.

Find his book /sci/ it is rigorously and meticulously document. It will challenge your belief about the world.

Compelling evidence. If only you'd put in the effort to get the book.

"Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation"

It might be in your library; if not, tell them to order it.

Yeah, no.

This is what I need to believe in reincarnation:

1. Proof of a soul
2. Proof that souls are recycled after death

>> No.2247021

YOU want to prove reincarnation, YOU have to present evidence. Yes, YOU - We wont go looking for it for you. Provide links to strudies/articles from credable sources, and im sure everyone here will read them, but we are not going to hunt down some random book for some retard on the internet.

If you can give is proper credible sources, do so, and we will read them. If not, Get the fuck out of my /sci/

You do realise thats a 'review' right?

I'll read whats there, anyway. Do you have any articles from a credable journal? or is this it? Becuase the only reason i'd be intrested in this book is to find where his sources came from and read them directly.

Do you have a copy of the book? If so, find the sources and see what ones you can find online.

Read some of the book. It's laughable.

They guy basically tells stories that are unusual, but nothing suggesting supernatural events. For example, a kid recognizes someone to whom he supposedly owed a debt to in a past life, but was unsure of the amount.

This is easily explainable as the debtor trying to scam someone, and then arguing over how much money to pay.

it's all bullshit. Give me a research article, not a book. Especially not a preview to a book that I have to buy.

You guise are a bunch of assholes.

"Tucker said that toward the end of his life, Stevenson felt his long-stated goal of getting science to consider reincarnation as a possibility was not going to be realized in this lifetime.[4] According to his University of Virginia obituary, his greatest frustration was not that people dismissed his theories, but that in his opinion most did so without even reading the evidence he had assembled.[3][10] Stevenson died of pneumonia at the Blue Ridge Retirement community in Charlottesville, Virginia, on February 8, 2007"

Here's the explanation for this "evidence."

Kid: "Oh, all these adults are going on about something big! Reincarnation? What's that! Uh oh, everyone is looking at me expectantly! I don't want to disappoint anybody, I'd better tell them what they want to hear!"

"Wow! I got all kinds of attention and stuff for that! I'd better tell everyone I've been reincarnated!"

Reincarnation sounds neat and stuff, but to be honest I couldn't care less if my memory is reset in the process. What's the point of being born again if I don't remember anything? It's just a different person.

You could compare it to cloning, my clone will live on, but it won't be my consciousness anymore.
