Kyu
I think I pointed out (or I should have) that this is only a hypothesis. Most theories start of with a hypothesis and then evidence is acumulated which either proves the hypothesis or disproves it. At the present time, I have no possible way of taking my hypothesis beyond that point. As it is only a hypothesis, I need less evidence than if this was a theory.
Evidence? I must say my evidence is not concreate. First of all there is past life recall. This I do not put much faith in. It seems to me to be rather suggestive and can only relly be used in conection with other evidence.
Secondaly, there is the Dali Lama/Buddhist Lama's. Have you read the accounts of how the Dali Lama was discovered? There is a lot of coincidences-too many in my opinion.
For instance, the Dali Lama recognised his old life freinds and his old life cloths WHEN they were hidden among other cloths etc.
What is more, the regent of Tibet at the time had a dream which pointed out the Dali Lama's province, county and actual house.
Then there is the cycles. There is the cycle of the seasons; the cycle of the planets; the hydrological cycle so why not the cycle of birth, death and rebirth?
I would be intrested in the evidence against reincarnation.
As to why the population keeps going up, I don't know if the animal population keeps going up at all. In fact, many animals are constantly heading for extinction and the population figures can't possibly be conclusive enough for you to make that alagation, in my opinion.
