Reincarnating Aliens

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

I ran across this interesting article about the statistical likelihood of the existence of aliens. Usually I would dismiss such things, but this article showed a fascinating analysis of scientific data to suggest that it would be wildly unlikely that an “advanced” alien civilization has never existed (though none might exist at this current time). Definitely worth a read.

One thing that I kept thinking about as I read is how that possibility impacts reincarnation.

Do our souls sometimes incarnate on Earth and sometimes somewhere else? Is each planet a closed system with its own set of souls? The first seems more likely than the second. That means we may have already experienced alien worlds. Isn’t that an incredible thought?

I hope that it’s true because that makes me feel a bit less stressed about the dark age we are currently living in.
