discussing quote:
I died a mineral, and became a plant. I died a plant and rose an animal. I died an animal and I was man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?

"As it is appointed unto man once to die and after that, the judgement." The Bible There is no progressive rebirth/reincarnation. There also isn't progression in nature. When things change, they deteriorate, they don't get better. Nature doesn't move from simple to complex.
