What Stuka says is very reasonable and well said.

I also know that I live on a infinitesimally microscopic bubbling mote of dirt, water, fire, and air that's whizzing around a huge flaming sphere at 65,000 miles an hour...in a space that is believed to be infinite, that is full of bursting universes inside of larger universes, cyclical tidal forces, explosions that hurl flaming matter at a million miles an hour, whirlpools a billion times larger than Earth, dark energy fields, and black holes. On this tiny, dynamic, volatile speck of material chaos that we call home...there are creatures that are animated by air that have a strange habit of occasionally supersizing or miniaturizing, every once in a while a mountain of stone and fire collides with the planet with interesting results, and when atoms are mined for their smallest components freaky physics things start happening "in there". And don't get me started on the oddity of the human being morphing out of monkeys with the ability to do trigonometry and fly to the moon, and whether we should even exist in an environment that we are physically unprepared to live in without compensating radically for a variety of seemingly missing features and essential capabilities.

So, given the nature of where we're appearing, I wouldn't rule out anything. It's pretty darn strange here if we look close and far enough.

As for literal rebirth, I don't know and don't care -I just do my best to be clear about where I am and what time it is here in Wonderland, where everything is odd (though oddly taken for granted by most). I'm here, and it's now...I find it hard enough to stay clear on just this...I don't need to get distracted by what is, at least for me, an abstractive imponderable that has no answer.
