Most of the children studied are from India but there are other cases in other countries.
you are right to point out that Stevenson studied children other than Indians. However, many of these (eg the Tlingit case) seem to be in other societies which believe in reincarnation, and the wiki article on him does not point to much solid evidence: the one Western example (Edward Ryall) seems to have been discredited. I should remind you that extraordinary claims, such as reincarnation, require extraordinary evidence

Dunno about the others but, for me, debate means putting up a subject, idea or proposition that the other can read, consider and respond to. And then the process repeats until agreement or stalemate (hopefully friendly) is reached.

Now, if the proposition is that your god's word, as written in your bible, is the mode in shich we xhould run our lives . . . you are going to have to offer further, non-repetitive, non-cicular, evidence or proof, that this is so.

So far, despite being asked, you do not even come close to this.

In "our house" you abide by our rules.
I thought I had given you proof of God's existence and proof that He is the author of the Bible.

Here is proof God exists:

Before the universe existed there was nothing from which it appeared, which is impossible by any natural cause. Therefor the cause of the universe was supernatural, proving the existence of God. For details go here:

http://www.existence-of-god.com/existence-of-god.html
http://www.everystudent.com/features/isthere.html

Here is proof God is the author of the Bible: The Bible is filled with hundreds of accurately fulfilled prophecies:

http://www.raptureforums.com/BibleProph ... stdays.cfm
http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/
http://www.allaboutthejourney.org/bible ... filled.htm
http://www.reasons.org/fulfilled-prophe ... lity-bible
http://www.allabouttruth.org/Bible-Prophecy.htm

Here is evidence the Bible is accurate:

Archaeology confirms the historical accuracy of the Bible:

http://www.inplainsite.org/html/the_rocks_cry_out.html
http://christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a008.html
http://www.christiananswers.net/archaeology/home.html
http://www.ucg.org/the-good-news/the-bi ... cal-record
http://www.biblestudysite.com/arch.htm

The Bible is not a science book, yet is scientifically accurate:

http://www.inplainsite.org/html/scienti ... bible.html
http://www.eternal-productions.org/101science.html
http://www.clarifyingchristianity.com/science.shtml

No other book, religious or secular, comes close to those requirements.
your last statement - that may be true, but that does not support your claim that the Bible is reliable, still less infallible. Why should any, but any, ancient book be consistently true?
Since it has been proven that the Bible is the Word of God, it is true, reliable and infallible.

No, I had not noticed it ends at page 38, which does not include reincarnation. Sorry about that. I thought the site included the whole book.

I see no proof, I see only belif and faith, no facts, no concrete evidence.

The only evidence is that your god, granting for one fleeting moment its existence, is indiferent to the fate of mankind and his own "creation".

Looks like you need to thoroughly check your "evidence" before relying on it, Pahu.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

Oh, should have mentioned that your god seems to allow innocent, even good, people to die violent deaths whilst the evil literally get away with murder.

No good shirking off the responsibility and saying mankind is responsible for its own actions (which, of course, it is), that is sheer sophistry because to blame your god would mean looking at its true nature - once again allowing the assumption that it exists - and having to admit the truth of reality, which you seem unable to cope with.

Because it is evident when people die of disease, natural disasters, crime and warfare every minute of the day. Does your god, or any other god, care? Nope, because there are no gods, simply circumstances, luck or whatever you want to call the utter disregard the universe has for everything in it.

That is not defeatist, it is the sane acceptance of reality, of a universe where you and I have no more consequence in the entirety than has a grain of dust. So what? This does not stop me enjoying my life and hoping to leave this world just a touch better than I entered it. I need nothing supernatural to motivate me in this, why are you lacking this inbuilt drive? Why do you need an external entity to provide you with a reason to be?

The reason there is so much misery is because of sin, which is the transgression of God''s law. God cares enough to come to earth and shed His blood to give us the ability to repent of our sins and be forgiven. He is not willing that any should perish, but all should repent and be saved from the consequence of sin, which is eternal death.

Does God exist? Yes! Here is proof: Before the universe existed there was nothing from which it appeared, which is impossible by any natural cause. Therefor the cause of the universe was supernatural, proving the existence of God.

Is God the author of the Bible? Yes! Here is proof: The Bible is filled with hundreds of accurately fulfilled prophecies:

So, an innocent child in Syria has to due because an evil person wants more power? That child has to die beczuse of the sin? What a way to run a sorld. Your god is the truly evil one in tgat equation if he ckaims any power or authirity.

Tell you what, Pahu, you carry on believing that which you wish to believe and I will carry on accepting the evidence that I see around me. Should you die in agony ftom some disease, crime or accident you do so knowing you are obeying your god's will and can go happy in that knowledge. After all, you might get to meet him in the afterlife.

Peace upon you, goodbye.

Pahu, you don't really understand argumentation, critical thinking and logical fallacies do you? Ones particularly useful for you to understand are begging the question and circular reasoning.

Rapid Cooling

If the Earth began in a molten state, it would have cooled to its present condition in much less than 4.5 billion years. This conclusion holds even if one makes liberal assumptions for the amount of heat generated by radioactive decay within Earth. The known temperature pattern inside Earth is consistent only with a young Earth.

Never knew it was all so complicated!

Is all this in the bible or just out of sone-one's head, or from some-one out of their head, or...

Where does the bit about millions of years of bombardment (thus energy input) from sub-planetary debris (what we call asteroids, comets and meteors now) from the solar accretion disc come into the equation then?

Later: the author of the above, one Ken Pollinger, "PhD", did 4 years studying engineering and one studying dentistry it seems, well qualified to produce such stuff "out of his head". Searching on "ken pollinger wikipedia" finds a Wki entry about a 1980s TV programme called "The Blobs". So, not important or influential enough to qualify for a Wiki page.

About par for the course.
