I keep having this prevailing thought that, of all the organized religions, those who believe In reincarnation are the closest to being right scientifically speaking. Let me explain. Biologically speaking humans, and all animals and organic things are designed to reproduce and pass on as much genetic material as possible. You are currently half your mother half your father so essentially they have successfully sent some of their "soul" onto the next life while keeping some for themselves. Once they die, and you as its inevitable, you begin to decompose. By decomposing you're giving the rest of yourself back into the rest of the world. Whether plants use you as a means to grow or a scavenger gets ahold your energy is passed onto them as they grow part of you is still present and do by the time that animal or plant decides to reproduce you'll be passed along with the offspring. Now back to human kids, human children will be a much more direct line of passing yourself on as you can

Physically see yourself in your offspring but a part of you continues to live on in your offspring after you die and as your offspring have offspring the cycle continues. You live on infinitely, whether you're aware of it or not.

Not really. "You" are nothing special. Once you die, you cease to exist, and just get recycled. Sort of. Cemeteries kind of impede that. But "you" are gone, and the fact some of your molecules are part of something else means nothing.

When did i say that "you" are something special. All I'm saying is that the individual is part of something larger than themselves.

No. The individual ceases to exist.
