Is 'reincarnation' an early attempt at the 'cellular memory' and DNA of hominids??
No seriously...I was thinking......
IF...as has been discovered, many 'genetic' ailments/ diseases are mostly to do with whether or not certain DNA 'codes' are switched on or off..... that the fact that you have brown hair and eyes but your brother has blonde hair and blue eyes is a matter of which DNA 'codes' were switched on or off at "conception"
.....further that YOU (or rather your body) is the end product of all your ancestral biology...possibly back to the original hominid that thought it would be great to walk on two legs because most of the predators had to sort out four legs to get at you and that this was an advantage..aka you survived.
Also understanding that religion has stopped most of this 'freethinking' : could it not be possible that the term 'reincarnation' was first coined to deal with this DNA issue??
Many religions (and I am trying to be generous here
) really do NOT KNOW why they celebrate the festivals they do.....I mean What was THE root cause??? A stupid book written by the uneducated for fools and the illiterate??
For example: Passover/ Oestara/ Easter/ Chocolate Festival...call it what you like but what does it REALLY celebrate ? Seems amusing to me that no matter what it is called or what dogma any religion attaches to it; it does 'coincide' with the passage of the sun accross the eliptic at equinox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system and posibly a better one would be

Any thoughts??
Granted that thanks to religion it is now mostly mumbo jumbo as to have no credibility at all.
