Do you believe in reincarnation?
And does it even matter, since you can't remember your last life?

No because there's 7 billion people and there used to be less. The logistics behind it are convoluted.

I believe in heaven/hell but not past lives/reincarnation.

It's no more/less a waste of energy than any other afterlife belief system, so why not?

The only way it makes sense is the theory that the entire Universe retracts after a gazillion years and all goes back to one point, then we have another Big Bang and everything comes into existence all over again. However, that would mean every single thing, like every atom, planet, stardust, person would be designed the same exact way...almost as if it's a timeloop where history repeats itself. But that is probably not the case.
It also doesn't make sense because humans did not exist at the dawn of time. How could we be reincarnated before there was even any life on Earth to begin with, or during the dinosaur era? |

What if you were some alien cat-like being on the opposite side of the universe last time...? Or something of a higher intelligence in a better world and your mildly negative 'karma' got you this life on Earth in this period of time? Quote:

Is the universe an open or a closed system?

Does reincarnation even matter if it's real or not. It's essentially just recycling battteries, so a reincarnated person don't gain the past selves memories or skills, it's back to World 1-1 but a new game with new controls and no recollection of previous plays.

My present pretend theory... A bunch of universes individually existing like a bunch of bubbles all stuck together. Closed, but together?
edit: Or maybe there are many, but we're just atoms inside a snow globe, alongside many other snow globes sitting on a shelf of impossible size. Last edited by IndigoErth; 07-26-2017 at 02:04 PM. |

Okay so reincarnation is out, but the system is closed.
So the number of souls is fixed, and there's a heaven and hell end point for them all. So where do they start? And what happens when the bank runs out?

I'm open to the idea of it. Some things years ago reminded me of a few dreams I had a kid, so I guess it's possible.

When they were created. What do you mean by that? When the universe ends? |

Were all these souls created at the same time? And if so, what do they do prior to being born into a body?
And yeah, what happens when all the souls are sorted into Heaven or Hell. What happens after that?

They stay where they belong, unless the souls change or something. |

Yeah, but we're assuming reincarnation is off the table.
So that means all souls were created at once, and they all exist now, but just aren't here. And that after they're here they're sorted either to The Good Place or The Bad Place. And then...

Player 1 or Player 2 wins the bet?
