Of course, some like this will generate efforts to discredit ~ debunk, etc. In spirit of fairness and full consideration, I present this;If you can't get something from nothing, would seem probable that if there is a "Creator", "It" would have to create from It's own substance and if that Creator is eternal, then Creation would also be eternal. Think on this in depth and it sheds a different perspective on concepts of souls and the "afterlife".
So, "Submitted for your consideration";
Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation of a World War II Fighter Pilot
by Andrea Leininger, Bruce Leininger,
Ken Gross (Contributor),
Carol Bowman (Foreword)
...
This is the story of James Leininger, who-- a little more than two weeks after his second birthday-- began having blood-curdling nightmares that just would not stop. When James began screaming out recurring phrases like, "Plane on fire! Little man can't get out!" the Leiningers finally admitted that they truly had to take notice.
When details of planes and war tragedies no two-year-old boy could know continued-- even in stark daylight-- Bruce and Andrea Leininger began to realize that this was an incredible situation. SOUL SURVIVOR is the story of how the Leiningers pieced together what their son was communicating and eventually discovered that he was reliving the past life of World War II fighter pilot James Huston. As Bruce Leininger struggled to understand what was happening to his son, he also uncovered details of James Huston's life-- and death-- as a pilot that will fascinate military buffs everywhere.
In SOUL SURVIVOR, we are taken for a gripping ride as the Leiningers' belief system is shaken to the core, and both of these families come to know a little boy who, against all odds and even in the face of true skeptics, harbors the soul of this man who died long ago.

EXCERPT:
...
At first, Bruce wasn't willing to consider the possibility of his son having lived a previous incarnation. This was due to Bruce's Christian beliefs. The book chronicles how this unwillingness lessened as the boy was able to state what kind of airplane the little man flew: "A Corsair"; the name of the boat that the airplane took off from: "Natoma" (USS Natoma Bay); and even the name of a friend: "Jack Larsen."
Surprises often confronted the Leiningers as they observed their son and researched the details of the dreams and memories he described. For example, at Christmastime in 2002 Bruce asked James for an explanation about having named his GI Joe action figures 'Billy,' 'Leon' and 'Walter.' James answered, "Because that's who met me when I got to heaven." It was found that among the 21 men killed while serving on the Natoma Bay were Billie Peeler, Leon Conner and Walter Devlin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~
While Sudduth in the above trio of links goes to great lengths to 'nit pick' details to supposedly discredit the Leininger's and this book, he makes a few detail errors himself. Such as the claim that the "AT-6 Texan" was a WWII era fighter plane when in fact it was only an Advanced Trainer (the "AT") and not used during that war in a combat role.
He also excludes what we see above regards the episode of naming James "G.I. Joe" figures.
Also nothing about young James meeting and having a discussion with the aged sister of James Huston and both sharing intimate details of their childhoods together during the 1920-1930s.
