Studies like this are more evidence than you guys have (none): Humans are notoriously dumb and believe all sorts of wild things, sometimes in large numbers. For thousands of years literally every breathing person thought the sun went round the earth, but as it turns out "A lot of people believe a thing" isn't actually evidence for anything other than a lot of people believing a thing.

residual lives occur when the subdimensional spiders that feed on our brain beans at night accidentally spit up some life lean from a previous prey. the upside of this is it triggers vivid dreams weaved together from the patchwork of lives now connected by the spider thread of psychedelic jazm

People that say nothing happens when you die don't need any kind of evidence to support that notion. They're not proposing anything. They're not putting any idea on the table.

Studies like this are more evidence than you guys have (none): It's actually scientific, not legal, but our specific venue isn't relevant, and a lot of people believing something doesn't make it any more likely to be true. You made a positive claim, that reincarnation is an existing phenomena. I made a negative claim, that it is not. The onus is on you, the maker of the positive claim, to either prove it, or to not expect to be taken seriously. Your claims actually make even less sense if you consider the number of believers to be evidence. Fewer people believe in reincarnation than those that believe that the modern amalgam of three ancient Hebrew deities exists and sends souls to Heaven or Hell upon death. So by your logic, the Heaven/Hell wins out, at least until those beliefs fall out of popularity, in which case reality will then shift to meet the newest popular belief system.

Just got back from the afterlife. I'm sorry to say but Heaven's legislature has just passed new regulation which means even more paperwork on entry. You're looking at a couple of millenia of paperwork before they even let you in the door.

Reincarnation is very immortal-phobic. Immortals are absolutely a thing that exist, and you can just google and see how many people believe it to be true. So really we need to collectively cancel reincarnation.

What if there were some spiritual organization out there dedicated to collecting souls before they had a chance to reincarnate?

I'm totally over this thread, but ultimately my biggest point would be the universe is 13.7 years old, to our best knowledge, and you will live less than 100 years of it. Most of this time is spent by stars exploding, like snuffed flames, and the higher elements they create spread out, only to enstar before exploding again, release even higher elements to create the building blocks of life. If you completely cease to exist when you die you would be dead right now. Honestly I think you're just trying to make yourselves feel better by thinking your life is so unique and important, and nonperiodic in our cyclical universe

Woah, I didn't realise your biggest point was no point at all lmfao "We can't just die, the universe is really old" is a bold stance like, "I can't be broke, my employer has been in business for 100 years!" But you're right, it's everyone else that is trying to feel special lmao

Here's a cool related thought: We are on the 3rd generation of stars. Our Sun is a 3rd generation. The first generation were the very first stars, colossal stars that lived and died exceedingly fast, exploding all across the new Universe, seeding it with heavier elements like carbon, oxygen, even gold, which then partly made up the second generation of stars, which were still huge and exploded all over, but no so much, not all over. And they seeded the new Universe with even more elements, like iron. And lo, one day a ginormous gas cloud spun fast enough to start spitting out new stars, with little tiny solar systems, all made up of the remains of the previous two generations. And of course still primordial hydrogen, of course. Mostly. The same primordial hydrogen in you right now. And this became our Sun, our Earth, one day, you and me. Namaste.
