I don't know. I think this is possible.
What if there's a nuclear holocaust on earth and starting over isn't possible, or at least doesn't make sense?
If we humans are nothing but another animal, then the thought of death is so depressing because wherever we go, it's the same place where trillions of ants, worms and mosquitoes go when they die, and I'm pretty sure that's not some romantic place like heaven.
That is the exact point I was trying make about reincarnation. It is based on the fact that there will always be an
earth or other planets which is not true.
But as far as your second statement goes.
One would say such things as insects and other animals. Dont have souls.
Scientists say that we share 98% of our DNA with chimps. If we're that closely related, how can we be sure that they don't have a soul? And if chimpshave souls, I'm pretty sure that all animals have souls, including the worms, flies and all other insects that die by the gazillions, including evenbacteria. What is it that makes you so sure that animals don't have souls/humans do have souls?

If you noticed I also said "other planets".
But I def agree with what your saying as far as taking life as it is.

That's taking reincarnation from the standpoint that in the universe we are alone ....
This is a mere technicality. Okay, in theory, however implausible, there could be nuclear wars happening on all planets that support life simultaneously. Socoming back to live in the physical universe isn't an option. What then?

I also would like to state that as much as we may talk about it in society.
The theory of other life-forms outside of earth has NEVER been proven.
That is simply fact until otherwise.

If things were to come to that point then there would be no need for reincarnation ... meaning the desire knowledge and wisdom one wouldhypothetically seek through reincarnation would already have been satiated, and therefore one would exist as some sort of spiritual, sentient being or energyin its purest form
Let's take this from a theoretical standpoint .... (and by that I don't mean tin foil little green men) ... If one could feel the energythan runs through one's body whether through meditation or just from a state of being and there in turn feel the energy/ki or whatever you want to call itthat runs through those closes to you when you enter their proximity ... what sustains energy, where does it originate? ... and given that this runs throughall living creatures on this planet, while being replenishable or maybe sustained by sunlight...
.
.
Who is to say that in other galaxies and solar systems with stars of their own, that this same sort of life force doesn't exist.... I'd even dare saythat there are numerous scientific discoveries born out the idea or belief that what we conceptualize now will in the end be proven to be true whether in theform of our original idea or some variation we never dreamed existed

You are coming from a point as if man created the after life. Which is impossible.

I just can't fathom being dead. I don't really believe in any of that reincarnation/after life heeba jeeba, I think that death is just something thatwe can't understand, like how big the universe is, or the 4th dimension. But I also dont believe that when we die it will just be game over. Imma bethinking about this all night now

I don't quite get where you're seeing that
I see what your saying however a belief in some form of afterlife is not an excuse not to live in the intangible now ..... In fact what would bethe point of life if that was the case ?... I don't think or even believe that one is truly meant to believe in any form of an afterlife only that withlife there is death!

not sure...
but the native american "indians" had a interesting concept/theory, that we awake when we die, so in other words we are asleep at the moment.

I think about this at times and it's hard trying to come up with an exact answer. I mean it's kind of hard imagining that there won't be anything,so there has to be something, but what. Life on another planet? Heaven/hell/purgatory? Reincarnation? Who knows...the greatest mystery ever.

What you just described is a pseudo-science and has not been proven. There have been attempts at "scientists" to try tocharacterize and detect the "Spirit" (Ectoplasm)
These are hoaxes and there isn't any validity to them as far as I know.
The energy transfer that takes place isn't what you described. Living things die, decompose and chemical energy is recycled.

It seems like humans feel like because we can think logically and do all other types of amazing things while living, that we are entitled to an afterlife.
I disagree. As much as I don't want to I think there will be no conscious state, just eternal darkness.
That's why we should live it up
