Sure, I can see how that could be confusing. I’ve updated my wording in that paragraph. Like I said, the specific mechanisms are not actually important in the reincarnation process. This is more of an appeal to the rational mind than an argument in favor of reincarnation. “You” exist right now. You didn’t in the past. If you can come into being once (through any means) why can’t it happen twice? I only mentioned the MWI and the flat universe because you brought up how unlikely it was for your specific atoms to reform yourself. Well, it’s just as unlikely to happen again as it was for it to happen in the first place. The MWI guarantees that it will happen again, even if the universe isn’t infinte.
My argument for reincarnation is:
Collective Unconsciousness + Hero’s Journey + Ian Stevenson/Jim Tucker
All I’m saying is it happens. I don’t know anything else.
