No, that's a core belief of Buddhism. You move up or down as you achieve--or lose--enlightenment, and once you've extinguished all desire, you achieve enlightenment and nirvana. Hindu might also have beliefs in reincarnation, but IDK.

See, this is one belief system that is easy to disprove. Just look at all the people. Can anyone honestly say they've worked their way up? Are humans really the cream of the enlightenment crop?

Looks like someone is going down a peg or two next time....

Huh? No, of course you can't, because you'd first have to be able to prove that any person in question had lived a previous life, and that kind of belief isn't falsifiable.

If the whole thing could be proven or disproven, then it would be science and not religion.
