Since world population 2000 BC was under 100 million and is now close to 7 billion, it's not possible for every individual to own a single thread of multiple lives on earth. A good answer is to say there is no disharmony because there is no reincarnation. A double-down answer is to say that each individual has their own thread of lives but some are lived on other worlds or alternate worlds to our own. Sounds complicated but the alternate worlds has a place in modern physics speculation. A third answer that reconciles the numbers and keeps reincarnation as a not-disprovable hypothesis is to say all lives past and present are connected nodes of the same being. There are then many possible pathways back in time for you to trace, they just are not uniquely you.
How do you decide?. Or, what is a good test? What questions does reincarnation resolve?
The pursuit of happiness suggests that the choice that opens the most possibilities to you now is a good one. If two explanations exist, one boring and one exciting, and adopting either is low risk, why not go for the one that inspires you to experiment? The search for contradictory conclusions from the same premises so as to rule out a theory, is one I like better. The search for an absolute determination of truth is even better but how ever can that be done?
