The United Nations calculates that the world's human population has reached 7 billion. And at the Guardian, Ed Halliwell asks a question -- "Can population growth be reconciled with Buddhist reincarnation?"
Mr. Halliwell's answer isn't bad, but I can tell most of the commenters didn't bother to read it. The comments are mostly the standard knee-jerk responses you get from people who have made up their minds that reincarnation (as they, not Buddhism, understand it) is superstitious nonsense; e.g., "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." Etc., etc.
Since rebirth in Buddhism really isn't about the continuation of an individual self, I'd say the answer to the question is "yes." And if you want to know how, stop looking for "extraordinary evidence" and educate yourself as to what Buddhism actually teaches about rebirth. To me, looking for a one-to-one ratio of reborn individuals is like assuming there can be only a fixed number of waves on the ocean.
