> these religions can always claim that you are simply not enlightened enough to understand the "scientific" process by which reincarnation works.

You just proved my point.

Non-testable, non-falsifable claims = meaningless noise, net information content: zero.

With the scientific method, we observe the world, we posit a testable hypothesis about the world, we devise an experiment to test the hypothesis. Then, with the additional information that the experiment gives us, we go back to step 1.

With religion, we merely accept a priori claims of all this ghosts-and-pixies stuff, which vary wildly around the world by culture but which pretty much universally have in common the idea that everyone is bad and stupid and in need of "enlightenment" or "salvation" or "good karma," which the grinning old guy in the robes can give you if you give him enough money.

Testing the claims is impossible because they have been crafted deliberately to be non-testable. See also, Thomas Aquinas. See also, sophistry. See also, casuistry.
