I guess one would just have to take it as a matter of faith, just like immaculate conception, and rising from the dead after being crucified.


Oh? Does this kid or reincarnation have two religions going back 5000 years based around it and was it fortold in the old testament which is written in a language preserved and still in use today?

1. Religions that believe in reincarnation pre-date Christianity.

2. The Old Testament is used to foretell many things, just like the writings of Nostradamus. I don't put much credence in either.

3. As for preserved language, no language exists today in substantially the same form it existed a few thousand years ago. Teaching oneself to speak Aramaic or Latin just doesn't cut it as evidence of anything except one's linguistic skills, certainly not the basis for believing or disbelieving something written in the language.

Reincarnation is a central tenet of Buddhism which is far older than Christianity. Pardon me if someone else pointed that out, I didn't feel like reading the 80 or so other comments.
