I can't remember where abouts in the Bible it disagrees with reincarnation,
but there are plenty of places, as I recall.  The general sort of
feel I get from the Bible is that when we die, we sleep until the
end of time, when we are all resurrected at once.

As for re-incarnation, I read a book once, by a chap called John Gribbin,
who had all sorts of theories about how time and space curve and bend
so much, that quite separate bits of space and time get pulled close
together, and people may come into close contact with people in the
past or future.  This may explain what we interpret as the "symptoms"
of reincarnation.

Or maybe not.  I don't know - it's just an idea.
