Ok, have we all essentially pulled off a miracle and won the lottery merely by existing and being born?
For example, if I was not conceived the day that I was, and instead my parents would have conceived a month later, then I would not exist, right? It would be an entirely different entity that was born. But would it be a different entity with my soul, or an altogether different soul and different entity?
This way of thinking is the best argument for reincarnation imo. Because where do these "new souls" just come from and how could there be an infinite number of them? Wouldn't it be reasonable then to assume that A) Souls do not exist or B) They are somehow recycled.
Honestly I think the argument of reincarnation is questionable at best but if one were to argue in favor of it, this might be one way to do it.
I hope this makes sense and I got my point across. Feel free to discuss.
