There are a few major plot-holes when it comes to reincarnation.
It doesn't answer where souls originally come from or where they go to eventually, or if they continually reincarnate, then who set that in motion.
Since there are more people born than die, that means that there has to be a continued new supply of souls. So why no use fresh souls for all the bodies.
Also what's the point to reincarnation, like so what if we become more enlightened as spiritual beings, if there is a godlike-being responsible for our journeys through multiple lives, then wouldn't that same godlike-being be able to make us as enlightened beings from the start rather than as these blank slate souls. It would save the god-like being a lot of effort.
I believe the idea of nothingness is terrifying to most people, that's what leads to this magical thinking. It could even explain the popularity of religions.
