Buddhism is an obviously incorrect religion

I never implied to know what you believe. I simply assumed that you, like most people on this site, live in a mostly Christian society, and therefore you are influenced by the common beliefs of this religion and might perceive other religions that you don't know much about, like Buddhism, as being similar in structure to the Christian faith that you know. This in no way means that I'm implying you are a Christian (even though your profile says you are).You also claim that I failed to rebut your main point again, however, you main point cam be summarized as: Buddhism appeared after human civilization, therefore, it's laws (i.e.: reincarnation) couldn't be applied to people who lived before the rise of Buddhism, and they'd have been trapped in Naraka, without reincarnating.I believe I've proved that for Buddhism the fact that the religion was created after human civilization doesn't mean that the law of karma and reincarnation didn't apply to the non-Buddhist people who lived before it, since this law governs every soul¹, independently of they being Buddhists or not. Besides, Naraka is not exactly a place for disincarnated souls¹, but rather, another plane of existence, therefore, going to Naraka is in itself a process of reincarnation. I also pointed that Naraka is a place for the punishment of really bad crimes, not for everybody who isn't Buddhist, as you imply. People who aren't Buddhists can very well be reincarnated in other conditions other planes other than Naraka, including the human world. All of this disproves your claims and assumptions about Buddhism, so I'm pretty confident that I did rebut your main point.Now, you make an interesting point about the relation of reincarnation with the increase in human population, however, you go from a false presumption that humans only reincarnate as other humans, but as I stated earlier, in Buddhism, humans can and do reincarnate in other forms and planes, Naraka, for example is one of them, dedicated to the specially bad people, however, beings in this other planes can also be reincarnated in the human world, or in other planes. In total, Buddhists believe that there is six realms, a and each of them is the destiny for those who had certain attitudes and actions in their past lives. The six realms are: (1)The Deva Realm: Deva is sometimes translated as gods, but they are not gods in the Christian sense, they are just supernatural creatures that live in a state of bliss. They are still under the law of karma, and therefore die and reincarnate in other realms. Those who accumulate a lot of good karma can reincarnate as devas.The Asura Realm: Sometimes translated as demigods or demons, the Asuras are realm between humans and devas. They have less suffering than humans, but they envy the devas, and therefore is a realm of jealousy. It is usually destiny of those who had good intention but still committed bad actions.The Human Realm: I guess you probably know about this oneThe Animal Realm: This is another realm where souls¹ can be reincarnated. You probably know about this one too. People who act with ignorance and prejudice are usually reincarnated as animals.The Preta Realm: Preta is usually translated as "hungry ghosts", they are beings that live in constant hunger and thirst but can never satisfy this needs. This realm is the destiny of those who are very possessive and have strong desiresThe Naraka Realm: This one was already mentioned. It's a realm of deep suffering, but not exactly like the Christian hell, since, as in any other realm, those who are there die and can reincarnate back again in other realms. By the way, what can send you to Naraka in the next life is cultivating hatred - so, unless you believe all the greeks and mesopotamians who lived before the rise of Buddhism were very hateful people, your assumption that they all went to Naraka doesn't make any sense.So, as you can see, the increase in human population can be explained by the fact that more creatures from the other five realms have been reincarnated in the human realm then humans have been reincarnated in those realms.Note:¹ - I believe that the term "soul" isn't exactly the most appropriate term for the Buddhist doctrine. Buddhists don't believe in a soul the way we conceive it, but since I'm not an expert in Buddhism, I'll stick with the term we are more familiar with.Sources:(1) http://en.wikipedia.org...
