Talk:Rebirth or Resurrection:Non Verifiability of the Theory of Resurrection

By Vishal Agarwal

According to the Semitic texts, no one but the Prophets can visit Heaven or Hell before the Day of Judgment. The accounts of these places given by Biblical prophets like Ezekiel and St. John and by Muslim texts are self-contradictory and symbolic interpretations that raise questions about their literal validity.

In contrast, numerous documented cases suggest that individuals have recalled past lives, a phenomenon that aligns with the Hindu Dharma's perspective on rebirth. Hindu scriptures assert that through the disciplined practice of Yoga, individuals can gain insight into their past existences. Furthermore, advanced meditative states, such as Samadhi, are believed to facilitate communion with liberated the Atma who have attained Moksha. This experiential approach allows for personal verification, making the Hindu understanding of life and death more compatible with the principles of empirical inquiry and the scientific method.
