Starting over

Buddhist spirituality I like. What I can't figure out is how such sensitive and intelligent people as are drawn to that great religion can fall for such a logically incoherent doctrine as reincarnation.

The belief that I was someone else, say Guy Fawkes, in a previous life seems straightforward enough until the next person turns up claiming the exact same identity. What criteria could we possibly apply to distinguish the true claim from the false?

Hi, Im from Melbourne Australia.I came across your site via your post on Faith & Theology.

There is nothing logically "inconsistent" about "reincarnation" at all.

Please check out these related references that there is in fact a process which could be called reincarnation--except that it is much more complex than most people survive.
And that death itself is a living process in which we can consciously participate.
