Question by Javad: Does the “string theory” or “parallel universes” disprove “reincarnation”?
A number of old time (e.g. Antiphon and Parmenides) and modern philosophers (e.g. McTaggart and Julian Barbour) have hypothesized that, time is not a reality but an illusion. This means that “time is not a continuum as it is perceived” and “everything which has happened, is happening and will happen, is happening in a moment”.
Also, according to “string theory” an infinite number of different versions of our universe (parallel universes including even those with different law of physics) compose the concept of reality. Meaning that there are myriad number of universes parallel to ours in which our souls are experiencing universes with different levels of similarity to ours (calculated to be 10 to the power of 500 parallel universes).
I know that these theories are not scientifically proved and are only based on pure mathematics. But if some day they are proved to be true, would the string theory lead to rejection of reincarnation?? (If our souls are experiencing all the possible versions of reality (and all in a moment) what is the need for being reincarnated). Does it make sense?

Answer by Emily
The very nature of the theory itself (time being illusion, multiple paralell realities, etc.) would only reinforce the idea of “reincarnation”, though not on a linear frame.
For example, the perceived notion of life “ending” within this dimension or universe while continuing or being “reborn” in another parallel “world”. If one’s consciousness experiences or percieves one of these parallels at any one time, it would be an acceptable argument that, upon completion of consciousness within one paralell, consciousness reverts or jumps to yet another… being, in a plain sense, a “reincarnation” of consciousness within another world or life.

The Message – The emerging ‘new’ Christianty—with its substitution of riches for righteous, a crown for a cross, and an imitation for a new creation—is shown to be a direct result of the wording in the new versions. Documented are the thousands of words, verses, and doctrines by which new versions will prepare the aspostate churches of these last days to accept the religion of the Antichrist–even his mark, image, and Lucifer worship. The Men – Each page opens a door exposing new version editors–in agreement with Luciferians, occultists, and New Age philosophy–in mental institutions, seance parlors, prison cells, and court rooms for heresy trials–and most shocking of all–denying that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ. Five have lost their ability to speak. The Manuscripts – The Greek manuscripts, critical editions, lexicons and dictionaries behind the new versions are examined, revealing their occult origins, contents, and yet unreleased material–a blueprint for the Antichrist’s One World Religion and government. 2 1/2 hour video – video.google.com THE TEACHERS and their 74 AUDIO MESSAGES with filenames: www.wgcr.org More: www.warneveryone.com Quotes by Evolutionary Scientists Against Evolution – www.warneveryone.com Live broadcasting with instant …

Question by Dream Little Darling, Dream: What philosopher shaped medieval theory in Early Modern Europe?
I have been looking for the answer to this question everyone, and I still cannot find it. I am writing an essay on this subject, but I cannot find the philosopher that I am looking for.
Best answer:
Answer by Dave P
What would you call early modern Europe? Do you mean someone who was medieval and shaped philosophy during that time or someone later who shaped how we think of the medieval period. If it’s the first, the biggest names in medieval thought who had a lasting influence were probably Thomas Aquinas and Roger Bacon.
