One I recently overheard on TV involved the child of a down to earth American couple where the child recalled his life as a WW2 pilot involved in dog fights. (I think I have that straight) There has always been plenty of evidence to support the reality of past lives, but it seems to be something that upsets the status quo, so it generally goes no where, and really I don't think it even matters. But if you are trying to make sense of things, at least for me, it is a necessary pre-supposition. Whether or not the fact (if it is a fact) of reincarnation then requires a belief in God, I don't know. I think it probably does, or at least a higher power of some sort.
