2. "Science, indeed, demonstrates the impossibility of the resurrection according to the vulgar idea. If the debris of the human body remained consistent, even if they are dispersed and reduced to dust, we still conceive their meeting at a given time, but things do not happen thus. The body is composed of diverse elements: oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon, etc.;. by decomposition, these elements are scattered, but for use in the formation of new body so that the same molecule, eg, carbon, enters into the composition of several thousands of different bodies (we are only talking about human bodies, not counting all those animals) that such person may have in his body molecules owned by men of early ages and that these same organic molecules that you eat in your food may come from the body of such other person that you knew, and so on. The material in quantity is defined, and its transformations indefinite quantity, how each of these bodies could he recover the same elements? There is a physical impossibility. We can not rationally accept the resurrection of the flesh as a figure symbolizing the phenomenon of reincarnation, and then nothing shocks the reason, nothing that is inconsistent with the data of science. It is true that according to the dogma, this resurrection shall take place at the end of time, while, according to spiritist doctrine, it takes place every day, " Allan Kardec , The Book of Spirits.
