Does reincarnation occur or is it all just hoax?

Sam gets on my nerves after a while, but he can be very entertaining.

As a point of curiosity, will u tell us
whether u 'd find it saddening,
if u knew that your conscious life wud endure
in good health, despite your human body molting off ?

You've made a graceful departure from our previous track, so I'll try to follow suit.

It doesn't bother me when people express their beliefs. If you had done just that I might have tried to explore your viewpoint with you. What bothers me is when people express a belief and then try to claim that it is supported by scientific evidence (and is something more than a belief) when it actually isn't.

My interest isn't in destroying your beliefs, it's in protecting the veracity of science and protecting the deep value of what scientific evidence provides us. When people make claims about science which are indefensible they are spreading disinformation and undermining humanity's best tool for seeing the world clearly. And that's worth defending.

And to answer your question above, no, I do not find it saddening to think that conscious life might endure despite the disassociation of physical structure. Why would I? I would find it surprising given how illogical it is, but if it comes to pass I will accept the illogic and just be curious.

I am personally satisfied by my own experiences of conscious, excarnate life and by similar ones that have been related to me by friends or acquaintances.

U probably already know that one of the most important elements in being a good scientist is keeping an open mind; yet Einstein informed us that the progress of science is from funeral to funeral to funeral. Einstein complained of much historical conservatism in the Establishment of science, un-willingness to deviate from the Newtonian paradigm, and of the emotional investments that he found endemic among scientists who delighted themselves in rejecting his thinking.

Logic has to do with an accurate understanding
of the relationships between facts (your premises).
If the latter are inadequate, then your logic (or "illogic" as u put it) is . . . .

As a psychiatrist friend of mine once said, "hallucinations can seem quite real".
People have been fooled by much less.

yet in later years it has been proven that water can carry information

Nature asked for the results to be replicated by independent laboratories. The controversial paper published in Nature was eventually co-authored by four laboratories worldwide, in Canada, Italy, Israel, and in France.[1] After the article was published, a follow-up investigation was set up by a team including physicist and Nature editor John Maddox, illusionist and well-known skeptic James Randi, as well as fraud expert Walter Stewart who had recently raised suspicion on the work of Nobel Laureate David Baltimore.[2] With the cooperation of Benveniste's own team, the group failed to replicate the original results, and subsequent investigations did not support Benveniste's findings either.

Oh yeah . . . quantum entanglement . . . why didn't someone else think of that . . .

Lemme ask u this, Mr. Rosborne, just out of curiosity:
if an acquaintance or relative describes having had
what amounts to a near death experience
or to another out-of-body experience, and 15 or 20 years later
and a few 1OOO miles away, someone else tells u something
of the same nature, and this happens to u several times,
(such that the declarants do not appear to have known each other)
woud u deem that anecdotal testimonial evidence to be "scientific"

Woud your reply be affected if the experiencer had accurate, verified ESP remote viewing during his time of death, as per hospital records ?

What is strange is that people prefer believing crap...

we are engery.
