I’m confident ABC News will finally resolve this thorny issue.
#1-hilarity!
how in the world do they resolve the fact that there are more people now in the world then ever has been? we cannot all have lived past lives..even if i didn’t believe in God and heaven, i wouldn’t particularly wish to live life again; life is difficult most of the time for all beings on the earth. i would rather meet God and all my ancestors in heaven and have some rest and not worry.
2. Reminds me of a tongue in cheek science fiction short story I read. The idea was that there are a finite number of souls, which until a point in the story were more than was needed at any given time. Suddenly people started keeling over dead for absolutely no reason. After a period of research, it was found that the unexplained deaths exactly matched the number of births. So the solution was to nuke China and India. 😉
Somehow this reminds me of vital research done which proved scientifically that prayer had no effect on the lives of others.Now it may not, for all I know, but the SCIENCE was hilarious. Larry
Isn’t it funny how people who believe in reincarnation never remember their past lives as a weasel or an aardvark?
