Would this be decent evidence for reincarnation?
#44
RE: Would this be decent evidence for reincarnation?
It's not just children making up stories, but they could be unintentionally or accidentally be fed information by someone asking the child questions. It's like how some investigators fed children who were suspected victims of sexual abuse the answers they wanted to hear, and the children parroted them, leading to false convictions.

But what Zone doesn't seem to understand is that before reincarnation is a "good explanation" for a child seemingly being able to recount a past life is that he has to prove that the mind can be separated from the body upon death to begin with, let alone be inserted into a new body.

I think Occam's Razor needs to be used here, in that the simplest explanation is the most likely. And I think the child is either making up stories or being fed information to make his story sound credible. Like I said, it would have a tiniest bit more credence if he could describe a part of the world far away from where he lives, but even then it's not evidence for reincarnation. There could be a chance he watched a documentary on TV when he was a toddler, for instance, and is just remembering that as something that actually happened to him.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
