Which is why for me to believe fully in rebirth is just as silly as disbelieving it since there is no evidence either way via science or ones own experience (unless one has some memory of it)
In my practice i dont make deffinite statements about if there is or is not rebirth/kamma result after death any more, since i have no knowledge either way its just speculation on my part, kamma and rebirth in this life however i can begin to see and understand so i focus on that
I see no evidence to disprove it so im perfectly comfortable with the notion of rebirth etc and i trust Lord Buddha when he states that not all kamma plays out in one life so i can tend to lean more towards there being rebirth than there not being one, but i still recognize this as just logical/speculative thinking that may be flawed so i dont put much stock in it

A person claiming to have a scientific view of the world cannot believe things such as kamma and rebirth unless evidence can be provided to justify these beliefs
