    Reincarnation is real, in some way. I interpret reincarnation as this: One hydrogen atom in my body could have been the exact hydrogen atom which was part of Isaac Newton’s body. Or a carbon atom in me was one which was part of a bacterium’s. :) About the eternity of a soul, or even the existence of it, I don’t believe.

      That’s not reincarnation.

      That’s a permanent chemical alternation of the molecules that make “you” up. If we use hat logic, then we have reincarnated almost an infinite number of times in our current life. Every 8 years, each of us, do not have a single cell that was still physically a part of us 8 years ago. They have all been replaced.

      Reincarnation is the theory of the soul moving between hosts.
