A possibly comforting argument about death not being final: The Infinite Monkey Theorem
Post Body

The Infinite Mokey Theorem states that a mokey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. How does that relate with our sub, you may ask? Well, the theorem can be generalized to state that any sequence of events which has a non-zero probability of happening, at least as long as it hasn't occurred, will almost certainly eventually occur.

Can you firmly state that ressurection, reincarnation or anything of the like is downright impossible, with absolute zero chances of happening? There's no scientifical proof of that, at all. Therefore, the theory applies here. I find this theorem comforting in the sense that eternity is so long that anything can happen in the meantime. That includes we being born again, and coming back to re-experience life. And again. And again.

Basically, the idea is that, unlikely as it might be for some of the more skeptical, rebirth (or whatever you wanna call it) will almost surely happen at some point, since eternity goes on and on. Really, anything can happen in this timeframe. Even our own universe may have died before it was reborn with the Big Bang!
