If you answer yes:
1) Do you think there are more or less souls than there are living things on the earth suitable for reincarnation?
2) In other words, would there be a "queue" a soul would have to wait in before getting back in the game?
3) What do you think is the ratio of souls to suitable vehicles for "incarnation"?
I've just never really taken the idea seriously so if these are dumb questions sorry.
1) Do you think there are more or less souls than there are living things on the earth suitable for reincarnation?
I'm a Buddhist; I believe that it depends on what you do in life. I think some people are capable of coming back. Some people will re-incarnate into something that is more than physical and not inhabit a body.
2) In other words, would there be a "queue" a soul would have to wait in before getting back in the game?
In a Buddhist prospective, no. There are multiple levels of re-incarnation depended on how much good karma you had in your life and how much enlightenment you received. Here are the different levels explained. You can go up and down in rank of existence based on merit. Here is a rank of lowest existence to highest.
1. Beings in Hell - The lowest and worst realm, wracked by torture and characterized by aggression.
2.Hungry Ghosts - characterized by great craving and eternal starvation
3.Animals - animals and livestock, characterized by stupidity and servitude.
5.Humans - both good and evil; enlightenment is within their grasp, yet most are blinded and consumed by their desires.
4.Asura -anger, jealousy, and constant war; the Asura (Ashura) are demigods, semi-blessed beings; they are powerful, fierce and quarrelsome; like humans, they are partly good and partly evil.
6.Deva - heavenly beings filled with pleasure; the deva hold godlike powers; some reign over celestial kingdoms; most live in delightful happiness and splendor; they live for countless ages
3) What do you think is the ratio of souls to suitable vehicles for "incarnation"?
Like I said before, I think this doesn’t matter. Everything re-incarnates. If there were no more physical vessels left I would assume that we would all be stuck in the top 2 and bottom 2 of the scale and still re-incarnate between the 4 because of free-will.
