If reincarnation exists how come the population is growing year by year?

In the Holy Bible, there is no reincarnation and there could not be reincarnation primarily because everybody will die and each of us on the last day will either go to heaven or to hell. If there is reincarnation, who will go to heaven or hell, the original or the subsequent or the subsequent to the subsequent, etc. If we believe in God, it should follow that we believe in the Holy Bible for everything is in the Holy Bible especially our knowledge of God.

first i do not believe in reincarnation due to the fact that the bible tells me man has but once to die and then the judgement also (Jb.14:12 so man lies down and does not rise; till the heavens are no more, men will not awake or be roused from their sleep. ) they will sleep until Jesus return when (Dn.12:2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. )

Funny question but it seems u r nothing wrong from your point of view. basically I didn't think to complex about re-incarnation like yours. And the answer lies in your question that may be there is no re-incarnation so the population increasing! and for your kind info I dont believe in re-incarnation!

I am a strong believer of reincarnation. For me, all the variety in life is explained by it. I must say that humans are not the only things that have souls. EVERY Being has a soul. You will not be able to count every being in this world, would you? And the second thing is that, the population grows steadily in some parts of the world, whereas in others, it is decreasing! In some countries, research says that less and less people want to reproduce. What would you say about that?

I've always leaned toward reincarnation. My proof was my daughter, she has always seemed to me that she is an old soul. However I believe that even in rebirth with reincarnation there still must be new life. I also don't believe all souls are reborn. There is a reason for rebirth. I in no way delude myself that reincarnation is real because how can we really ever know? But I feel the same about "god", how can we really know? With any religious belief we must realize that faith in something is only useful if it gives us comfort, it reincarnation, god or any other "religion" doesn't give your comfort and peace of mind, you should look to another religion or belief.

Nope. Reincarnation only happens to someone who attained Buddhahood. It doesn't only happen to someone who wants it. It happens for a definite reason. If your not qualified, you won't be reincarnated.

I do not believe in reincarnation. I believe in God and the Holy Bible as the word of God. There is no reincarnation in the Holy Bible and reincarnation is not possible if we follow the Holy Bible.

I was brought up to believe that reincarnation does not exist but now that I am an adult I have my own beliefs and views on things. In a way I would like to believe that it exists because it fascinates me that we can be re-born again and again. To me the things that cannot be proved are ones I like to believe in and research and learn more about. I do believe in God but there are so many things I would love to learn about. You bring up and interesting point. With all of the new births every day it makes you wonder if these are brand new souls or re-incarnated souls. Like the first person who responded said about her daughter being an old soul, I sometimes think my niece is an old soul and has been re-incarnated many times. The reason I think this is because she has always spoken like an adult. She is only 11 years old and acts more grown up than her own mother, lol. She just seems so smart and is so compassionate towards others feelings. She just reminds me of someone who has been through it all and has lived so long, yet she is so young. It is hard to say whether or not re-incarnation does exist but sometimes I like to believe it is true. To think that I might have lived long ago and experienced other things that I cannot even possibly imagine! It is fascinating, isn't it? Great discussion. I love talking about things like this. :)

Jesus spoke of 'many heavens'. * That leads me to a Multiverse, multiple dimensions, or many Earths or many planets with people or other sources of souls. In this big Universe, I don't think Earth is the only source of souls/life. * As Earth gains in population, a planet/dimension/other-Earth is loosing population.

Without religious conceptualization and that biblical idealogy, accept reincarnation for what it is: the continuous carnating of soul energy not as the same person but a new and different person each time the soul renews itself perfectly explaining why there is an over-population problem ! sharing the light and happy new year, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire http://www.enlightenment-psych.net/paranormal.htm

I think you might be taking the standpoint of reincarnation as the idea being that we only reincarnate here, on Earth. Being the science buff and have a love for astronomy and therefore the belief that we aren't the only form of intelligence in the entire universe, who is to say that "souls" don't incarnate elsewhere? and not just Earth? I know that might sound like an outlandish concept to you, but like gee could it explain why we have super geniuses? That their souls came from intelligent life forms way far in advance than our own human species?? Just a thought there :)

Hello dear onedollar. I am not sure whether there is reincarnation or not. But I often hear people say that when one is a good person, he will be sent to the good place where he will be led to and vice versa. I think that we still need to get more answers from scientists to see what they explain about this interesting puzzling issue. Thanks for your interesting discussion, dear onedollar.

That's trick, what about every life is a new life and soul and somehow by any reasons a couple of souls get back to earth participating in others peoples life - maybe a bribe is involved to get a second chance ... lol. Why the number of souls grows? The same reasons the number of star grows, they are being created - blow by HIMSELF if you wish. Animals are completely different they react to the environment, they swim searching for cold or hot water and have very delicate sensors for that. Once ruined they end up stuck on beaches no one has ever seem them before. Good and interesting discussion.

well it just shows that reincarnation is not true.right?or can one reincarnates in more than one person?
