Hi shadowspeak,
I'm new to all this too, but for me the rebirth thing makes more sense than the concept of 'heaven'; here's why.
Every living thing on this earth came from the elements and when we die and our body decomposes we go back to the elements. in time, these grow and change as we have done through our life and develop into other things and i think that is what will happen to us to after we have lived this life.
As I said, i am very new to this stuff, so would appreciate any comments or guidance on this belief.
