Quoteps : there's a very nice psychiatric approach to the matter of poeple "remembring" things from their past lives in here : http://ajp.psychiatryonline.org/article.aspx?articleid=177497
Thanks, I thought it was interesting. I simply haven't studied reincarnation enough to be convinced either way. Right now there are approx. 7 billions humans alive on this planet, and presumably way back in the beginning there were only hundreds of humans, so the numbers simply don't match. Unless you're talking about the majority of humans today being reincarnated from the animals of the past that are now extinct or fewer in number including insects. :icon_e_confused: In that case people would be remembering past lives of being for example a mouse, with its hard life looking for food and fear of being caught by a predator. Edit: IF there is reincarnation I think it would only be from humans to new humans (not from animals).
I have a theory—since the age of the earth has to be somewhat similar to the age of the stars—some galaxies are visible to us now where the light took 100 billion light years to reach us. There could be a planetary shift every 6000 years or so which takes humanity back to the stone-age with only maybe hundreds who survive, and most of the planet's surface is destroyed. Perhaps Genesis 1 was one such re-creation of the planet's surface. Genesis 1:2 apparently means in Hebrew that the earth became formless and void, after verse 1-- "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (billions of years ago). Perhaps the Creator/Intelligent Source of the Universe has created a billion billion inhabitable planets similar to ours. He assigns 'Sons of God' or 'Gods' to rule over each planet. These 'Gods' are allowed to set up the history story-line any creative way they wish. We are all well aware of how our story-line went—plants and animals (re)created, Adam and Eve ate the apple, so we need a Savior to save us from our sin punishment, etc. Perhaps the Creator created about 7 billion human souls max (our intelligence and ability is on a completely different level than animals), and he coordinates the population growth rate to come to the full amount when the time cycle comes to an end around every 6000 years. Maybe that's why the Great White throne judgement is at the end of this long time period when all the dead are resurrected. And we are nearing this time period for the grand shake-down. 7 Billion people, 6000 years going into the 7000th millennium. Mankind has learned to use all the resources he was given on earth and has pretty much subdued it (destroyed it). We're pretty much max on fast travel, world-wide communication, technology, knowledge of most everything through the internet. People are starting to figure out the basis of good and evil on earth, the system of TPTB trying to take over the earth. So then soon next we'll have the major Revelation scenario take place where the earth surface is decimated by things falling from space, earthquakes, UFO's, demons/aliens, fires, bombs, etc. Perhaps there are a few select rescued (raptured) aboard Mother-ships while this is going on, and when earth has recovered, they are put back down, with some new commands from their assigned'God' to create new religions and new history. This might have happened already a billion different times. In that case each of you are a billion or so years old. I know, just a silly theory, but trying to make sense of things. :) Okay throw your rotten tomatoes!
