I doubt they would get rid of reincarnation as the whole point of the Dalai Lama is that they are reincarnated.

I got this quote from a facebook post by "I fucking love science":
"Science adjusts its views based on what's observed.
Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin.
Followed by a picture of Bill Nye debating Ken Ham with the caption:
What would cause you to change your mind?
Ken Ham - Nothing
Bill Nye - Evidence
The sad part, in my opinion, is these are points on which both sides will agree... Because, for religious-minded people, the assertion that faith > observation is true, and thus the whole point of the quote is misinterpreted. :(
