Since the very concepts of reincarnation, heaven, and hell all follow logically from these scientific characteristics (from saying, "from what we have discovered in this century about the natures of the two havlves of the mind, what would happen if each half survived death, but separately?"), if reincarnation, heaven, and hell do in fact not exist in reality, their descriptions should not have existed at all prior to the discovery of the natures of the two halves of the human psyche. They should never have been heard of in any legend, never written in any document.
Since, however, these legends did exist prior to the discovery of the science that now predicts them, one is forced to admit that one of the following two statements must be true:
(1) These afterlife legends really do refer to facts existing in reality.
(2) These afterlife legends, although not true, are all that remains of an ancient prehistoric science. Once before, mankind must have arrived at recognition of the qualities of the two halves of the psyche just as we have today, and once before mankind asked "what would happen to these two halves if each survived death, but separated from the other half".
And since these traditions seem to occur in isolated cultures all
across the world and throughout history, it would indeed be hard
to argue that all of them are the inter-related descendents of
such a prehistoric science. Thus, the anachronism seems to
function as proof for Division Theory.
