Is Reincarnation Real? - What Religion and Science Says

When he was only two years old, James Leininger became very interested in planes. But what started out as a natural interest soon became quite sinister. James would wake up screaming at night with vivid nightmares of flying over the ocean, only to be shot down by enemy fire. These dreams were about a World War II fighter pilot named James Huston Jr., who was killed in action over the Pacific Ocean. The case of James Leininger garnered a lot of interest, and many, including his parents, saw it as a case of reincarnation. The idea of reincarnation is primarily a spiritual or religious belief and falls outside the realm of empirical science, which deals with observable phenomena and testable predictions. Reincarnation is the belief that a person’s soul or consciousness will be reborn in a new body after their death. This isn’t something that can be measured or observed directly with current scientific tools or methodologies.
