You can't make an analogue between the UFO phenomenon and reincarnation. There is nothing to independently verify reincarnation and no scientific evidence in support of the claims made.
But it’s ok for you to make an analogue between a bunch of villagers in Brazil seeing a vision of the mother Mary and reincarnation?
One is a subjective experience that nobody else can verify, where as the other we actually have records of the deceased’s life, that the person saying they existed as them can verify. Factual things such as their name, their spouse’s name and family names, their vocation, the cause of and time of death, and personal information that even close relatives thought nobody knew about etc.. all these are variable evidence, that the person claiming to have been the deceased will state with no way of knowing these facts, that a researcher can verify for themselves.
Yet you keep ignoring this point as if nobody has done this research.
On the other hand we have evidence for the existence of some unidentified flying objects (photographs and videos)
Plenty of this particular evidence has been faked, everyone in the community knows this.
recordings from civilians and the armed forces measuring speed, acceleration, distance covered, and other physical quantities.
Physical qualities that often break the laws of physics, but let’s just ignore that, it doesn’t fit your selective scepticism.
The evidence we have show there are unidentified flying objects and not aliens flying these objects
How do you or anyone else know that aliens aren’t flying them? This is just an unverifiable claim which you present as a fact. For all you know they could be flying unicorns or spaghetti monsters…

Memories cannot be linked to reincarnation because we don't know if these memories are true and even if they are at some degree we don't know how they were obtained in the first place.

Reincarnation is what is actually taught in the Bible...
You will find that Christianity is quite hostlle towards the idea of reincarnation and I am quite puzzled why posters on this thread and other threads who are Christians argue in favour of reincarnation which goes against their Christian beliefs but most importantly there is no evidence to support reincarnation.
www.christianity.com...
Nevertheless, we, as Christians, believe that reincarnation runs contrary to our beliefs. After all, why in the world would Jesus Christ die on the cross and resurrect for our sins, if he doomed us to repeat lives here on earth, with no or little inkling of past lives? Even when some religions seek to find Nirvana or Enlightenment, to break the cycle of past lives, none provide a clear path on how to achieve this.
A person has no way of knowing how many lives they have to go or why any deity would doom them to repeat life cycles over and over again.
In this article, we’ll discuss what the Bible has to say about reincarnation. We’ll also discuss the problems with the concept of reincarnation, and ultimately, why this matters.

You obviously did not watch the video.
The entire point of the movie I made was to prove that reincarnation is Biblical, and that Christians have been lied to.
The ignorant Straw Man argument you posted just goes to show that the average Christian has no idea what the Bible teaches, including you.
Jesus did not 'doom us to repeat lives here on Earth'. What a stupid thing to assume. I see the simpletons here are gullible enough to fall for your lies of 'no evidence'. Talk about Clown World.
Congratulations on being part of the problem instead of the solution. Please educate yourself next time you post.

I know Christianity and the other Abrahamic Religions don't accept the concept of reincarnation. How do I know this? Nobody that I know of who is Christian or Muslim has ever talked about reincarnation because this violates the principle of each and every human being having a soul.

You haven't looked at any of the information provided.
People have had memories and information that they couldn't have gotten in this life. Those memories and information have been investigated and found to be true. You can't say that memories 'cannot be linked to reincarnation' ... because they COULD BE. That is the one possible explanation for what happens.
You really should be looking at the information people provide about reincarnation cases. And look at it objectively. As a Christian, I don't believe in reincarnation ... but I have to be objective and say that there could be something to it.
Reincarnation is a highly contradictory and controversial philosophical-religious and cultural concept. Belief in reincarnation has some epistemological implications. It is a belief in the absence of valid empirical data. There is no scientific evidence to prove reincarnation. The suggestive cases of reincarnation (past-lives” testimonies) cannot be independently verified, and there are psychological and cultural factors that can influence such claims. These testimonies are the products of social conditioning rather than actual memories of past lives. From a scientific and empirical standpoint, the concept of reincarnation remains unproven and subject to skepticism.
Biologically, reincarnation is explained in terms of the expression of dominant genes that come from the ancestors. People acquire the genetic information of their past relatives. Those who oppose the concept argue that reincarnation originates from selective thinking and from false memories. Reincarnation is a hypothesis and up to date it’s not an evidence-based reality. There is no definitive data supporting the reincarnation hypothesis. So far no one has done controlled experiments in reincarnation.

Then your opinion means nothing. You have no business speaking on the topic of Biblical Reincarnation.

There are plenty of Christians who believe that the Bible teaches reincarnation. Who are you to speak for them? As for the Soul, it is what Biology calls a Genome. Any life form that has a Genome, has a Soul.
The video I posted is the result of decades worth of research. What did you do? A five-minute search on Google and now you are an expert? Seriously, leave this topic to those that actually have done their homework.

Reincarnation is based on beliefs and religious faith without any empirical evidence to accompany the claims made in favour of reincarnation. And just as the article states: There is no scientific evidence to prove reincarnation and no independent verification of the claims made.
