The side bar tells me to earn a Bible Degree, but I don't want a degree in how to read Fairy Tales.

Most of those issues (apart from the soul) can be worked around. You could say we're all parts of one consciousness. When you die, you're reincarnated to a different time period (i.e. you can be put in the past). You are everyone. You are hitler, and those he killed. Once you've lived all human lives, you're born as a god, into a new realm, with all the memories of all human lives. Each body could only hold a tiny fraction of your mind.

Still bullcrap, but definitely fun to think about.

Nice way to sum up philosophy :)

@14sJakeB190 Oh, well, brain cells do get replaced regularly up to a certain age I believe, then the whole ordeal becomes slower. Obviously, when brain damage is massive, the brain won't simply grow back, just how a broken back won't just heal, or an amputated hand won't grow back.

@Wotanraven Thar's cool and interesting. I've got to look it up. I always heard once brain cells die, they don't get replaced. Which is why brain damage is permanent.

[Wotanraven]

@14sJakeB190 Of course brain cells get replaced. Cells have a limited life span. They die too, and the atoms that compose them are rejected, replaced, recycled.

[14sJakeB190]

@Wotanraven What about brain cells. I don't think those get replaced.

[14sJakeB190]

@ThatGuyYouArent2 It could be explained as the one-electron universe hypothesis, commonly associated with Richard Feynman when he mentioned it in his Nobel lecture, postulates that there exists only a single electron in the universe, propagating through space and time in such a way as to appear in many places simultaneously.

[Wotanraven]

The part when he explained the "we are our memories" reminded me of the very interesting book "A short history of nearly everything" which explains that, if you're an adult now, not a single atom composing your body was there when you were a small child. Not one. They have all been replaced. That's pretty crazy when you think about it.

People are FOREVER claiming to be the reincarnation of ordinary people - usually serving wenches or soldiers. But what interests me, is that people only ever claim to be the reincarnation of some job position that they are familiar with and can mimic. You never get some burly dock worker who believes he is the reincarnation of a japanese silk worm farmer in the 12th century - and then he can tell you all about it.

@Mar2623 Looks like you now have no argument what so ever. So good resorting to pointing out a typo, you are incredibly intelligent and witty for doing so.
