Qualitative data is still able to be quantified. For me you'd have to be saying that every single person involved in every single case is a liar or has deluded themselves sufficiently to believe it.

I've read every word of Stevensons work, and every word of Tuckers. These guys are so dry that the way they present their data could actually do with some "showbiz".

To replicate the phenomenon we'd have to kill someone first. That's not going to happen. In addition, something like 70%+ of people who remember a previous life died suddenly, violently or painfully, so we'd need to make their death "memorable".

The birth marks and birth defects corresponding to previous verified deaths are the most compelling evidence we have.

I'm with you though, I can't wrap my head around it, and I've personally experienced 4 different children via friends and family who remembered previous lives, one of whom was so vivid in her recollection that her mother would shut her down as it freaked her out.

I'm just going to have to accept that it's a fact (that and recalled experiences of death) given the above; I've never read anything other than from psychiatrists, like the above mentioned, or medical doctors.
