Just as relative identity is made possible by causal continuity without a Self or Soul, so death can issue in rebirth without a transmigrating Soul. In a single life, each thought-moment flashes in and out of being, giving rise to its successor with its perishing. Strictly speaking, this momentary rise and fall of every thought is a birth and death. Thus even in a single life we undergo countless births and deaths every second. But because the mental process continues with the support of a single physical body, we regard the mind-body continuum as constituting a single life.

What are you debating about?
I suggested how reincarnation probably came thru Olcott's Theosophical Society to the West which was probably in the 1870's. If you look at most Eastern teachings that came thru that conduit, they did not come across correctly.
