A bubble doesn't exist, then it exists for a brief time, then it doesn't exist. Are you saying this bubble can realize life again by coming into existence as a tree or an alligator?

I still don't see why or how you are linking non-existence with reincarnation. Many things don't exist. You're correct that an unborn child, a dead man, and a flying brick wall that eats ogres and shits elephants all don't exist equally. But what's your point? None of these things are any more likely to reincarnate from a non-existent state.

But obviously an unboron child somehow comes into existence froma non existent state. How would this be any different than a dead person being reborn? It seems that they would both be the same process, the only difference being that the dead person has existed before. But this would seemingly have no effect.

The unborn come into existence based on the combination of genetic material from their parents. This produces their unique brain, biochemistry and concept of self which religious people would call the soul.

For a newborn to be the reincarnation of a dead person would require them to have the exact same genetic code as the deceased. Even then, the thoughts of that person would be different than the deceased (nuture vs. nature).

Sorry, there is no way for the dead to be reborn.
