Reincarnation seems plausable. It would certianly explain a few things such as: Child prodigys, dejavu, unexplainable debilitating personal fears, memories of living out another person's life in the past as if it were your own, speaking a language you have never learned in this life or even heard other people speak before, going to a new place and feeling like you have been there before and being totally comfortable with it, knowing where things were and the local history of the people and environment as if you had lived there yourself. It would explain like some people constantly feel they were meant for "bigger or better" things or why some people have a natural ability to do things that no one else in their family has any talant for or interest in. It would also explain why you can meet someone for the first time and feel like you have known them your whole life and instantly connect with them as if the two of you have a history together.
Like I said, I really don't know what I think of reincarnation at this point. I think it is plausable like many other things are plausable, I just haven't made up my mind on it all.
