Reincarnation
has been called by some to be the greatest unknown scientific
discovery today. In the last chapter of
Dr. Ian Stevenson's book entitled
Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation
(1967), he provides rigorous scientific reasoning to show how
reincarnation is the only viable explanation that fits the facts of his
study. He considers every possible alternative explanation for his
twenty cases of young children who were spontaneously able to describe a
previous lifetime as soon as they learned to talk. He was able to rule
out each alternative explanation using one or more aspects of these
cases. Later research has even bolstered his case in favor of the
existence of reincarnation. His study is also completely reproducible
which means that anybody who doubts the validity of this study is
perfectly welcome to repeat it for themselves. I believe it is only a
short matter of time before his discovery of the existence of
reincarnation is finally realized by the scientific community and the
world to be accepted as one of the greatest scientific discoveries of
all time.
Many people have
misconceptions about reincarnation. One particular misconception is that
it means we don't dwell in heaven between reincarnations or that we
immediately reincarnate after death. Near-death experiences prove this
misconception to be just that - a misconception. This is because time as
we know it does not exist in the spirit world. A person can literally
spend an "eternity" in the spirit realms, if they wish to do so, and
have the freedom to decide if they want to reincarnate or not. The
ultimate goal of reincarnation is to learn enough lessons from Earth
lives that reincarnation is no longer necessary. For more information

Many Christians would
be very surprised that there are a tremendous number of references to
reincarnation in the Bible. The most compelling references in the Bible
can be found within the teachings of Jesus concerning John the Baptist
as the reincarnation of Elijah the prophet. Here are the major verses:
