I think the bigger question is, how can you ever know that reincarnation exists?

Clearly they aren't the same person.

I think the idea behind reincarnation is that the same life force is creating another person.

So it would be like salvaging the wood from one house to make another.

Different house same wood.

Believing in reincarnation makes as much sense as believing in God.

Your hostility towards other ways of thinking is indicative of an insecurity about your own beliefs.

I have a hard time believing you have as much faith as you say you do.

James Leininger's parents want their 8-year-old son to have a great life -- his own life.
But for the past 5 1/2 years, the Louisiana boy has been reliving pieces of the life of another James -- Lt. James McCready Huston, a World War II fighter pilot from Uniontown who was killed near Iwo Jima more than 50 years before James was born.

At 2 1/2 years old, James began expressing aviation knowledge that surpassed not just a typical toddler's ability, but that of his parents.

The child began reciting a collection of information and had recurring nightmares about being shot down by a Japanese plane with a red sun on it.
