The reasons for not believing in reincarnation are that there is good evidence that our consciousness requires a material brain to exist, and the cases which suggest reincarnation generally are localized to cultures that accept reincarnation as a common belief. The reasons for believing in reincarnation are that it is a common belief in some cultures, and that it seems to afford for a just world if our reincarnations depend on karma. The latter is a very comforting belief for some who feel that there is no rhyme or reason to justice in this world. To me it sounds like wishful thinking. Why do you find it an appealing concept?
