Scientific Acceptability of Rebirth

Dr. Dharmawardena points out that the reason why classical science cannot explain rebirth is due to inherent limitations in classical science. Modern science has transcended these limitations, and therefore rebirth is within the scope of modern science. Modern science accepts rebirth as a scientifically acceptable phenomenon through the same tests used to prove scientific acceptability of generally accepted modern science phenomena.

This is the only material in which I found something related to physics (it's a shame it's so brief and still influenced by Buddhism philosophy, which can lead to a biased opinion). But as I recall it, it quotes Einstein and stuff. Anyway, you can look for more info on the names mentioned in this book and study what these researches are doing in the physics field

thanks for the link I am reading it now.


I always find this stuff interesting mainly because I have never been exposed to it. So it is all new to me .

Oh, and would you please then explain your concept of heaven and hell which undoubtedly shows they exist?

26. Some people have an unexplained ability to predict the future. (It depends: sometimes it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what happens next )

Heh, if you take it that way, then anyone has that power. Still, the question was about predictions which can't be reached by exclusively using logic and deduction.

This article is nowhere near proving any of your points. It draws parallels between electrons shifting orbits and humans reincarnating. You know, humans and electrons aren't quite the same thing. They both have some unique features that the other side finds hard to replicate. Comparing those two things is like saying "well, a firecracker can blow up once it's lit, so a bucket of water might as well". It also says Einstein's theories transcended "classical" scientific thought and are closer to budhist teachings. Well, to put it shortly, it's not true. Their effects are quite observable, and he didn't pull them out of his sleeve. While they were certainly a breakthrough, and while it indeed required a genius to think of such things, their introduction was based on some provable and at the time unexplainable phenomena. Reincarnation is not provable. The only "proof" that guy offers is that some kids babble about former lives and can learn things quickly. Come on, you can't take everything a 2 year old says seriously. Neither does fast learning of a few wunderkindern prove that they already had that knowledge before, it just means their brains are more acceptable to learn those specific subjects.

well it seems that the authors proof comes form childrens stories of previous lives that have bee researched to be true. There are cases where a child wrote egyptian writtings, and there is the story of the woman who taught buddism but has never learned it, she was a monk in a previous life.


my question is, population rate is increasing, I am assuming new immaterial parts are being created. Plus I am unsure of the process in which the immaterial part enters a fetus. Is the fetus without an immaterial part for a time, and if it doesn't get an immaterial part when does it form a new one?


I don't expect answers but these are questions I have. I'll keep looking into this since it seems so very pertinent to my interests.
