Why do people accept the idea of reincarnation?

There is a theory of reincarnation in Hinduism. This is one area where Hinduism faces lots of criticism. True this concept is there but it may not be as people commonly understand it. To understand we need to remember a few things. We start our life with an instinctive worldview. Here we see ourselves as an enjoyer with the world arranged around us. This worldview is known as samara. This view is full of dualities, Good and bad, right and wrong and so on. This dualist worldview gives rise to lots of false concepts like supernatural and afterlife. From this worldview the concept of reincarnation appears superstitious. But what does the theory of reincarnation actually say? That the soul is not lost and it takes a new body after death of the old body. So to judge whether theory of reincarnation is right or wrong one has to understand what soul is. There lies the difficulty. Who can say, what the soul is? Soul can not be understood by one who still has the samsara worldview. So one has to train the mind to realize what really is soul or reincarnation. Hinduism itself says that the Samara worldview is false and one should go out of it to find the truth. So there is a bigger truth than what reincarnation actually appears to be. Hinduism does not tell one to accept the idea of reincarnation. It tells one to find the truth. Hindu scriptures say when you find the truth you are free from samsara. One at that stage, is above birth death and reincarnation. We should not see reincarnation as a chance to continue to carry the individuality of this life to the next life. As far my knowledge goes, Hindu scriptures do not say that. Suppose we say there is no reincarnation what is the alternate theory. We live that can not be denied. One day we die. What happens to our consciousness then? Is it extinguished like a lamp when the oil is finished? A person who find idea of reincarnation unscientific, does he or she find the idea of judgement day rational? It is only one human's idea vs another human's. Modern science gives many theories about consciousness. It sometimes does not treat consciousness as a real entity. It is considered an artifact arising from natural processes. Science sometimes even denies the existence of consciousness apart from brain activities. Do all those who find reincarnation superstitious really understand the implications of those views and can intellectually analyze them? Most of us do not want to go to that depth. For people like us Hinduism provides a world view based on 'reincarnation' and 'karma'. It provides a personal God with whom we can develop a bond of love and lead a happy and prosperous life. Those who find this superstitious can find out the truth beyond this reality. Hinduism provides enough support to the seeker in their journey to find the truth.
