Respectfully who agrees that reincarnation is highly improbable? How? Why? My answer: Respectfully, I believe reincarnation is highly improbable for many reasons including but not limited to:
0)Eternal salvation for all is the most probable afterlife.
1)The uniqueness of each organism, meaning if everyone and all organisms are unique then they unlikely share spirits.
1.5)Spirits probably individualize each being.
2)The low probability of absolutes, that would govern the reincarnation cycle, besides, the Holy Trinity(one entity in three different unfalsifiable forms which all double as survival heuristics).
3) More specifically, God the Father is reason, logos, the master of the simulation theory, the creator, Yahweh, and the unmoved mover.
4)Jesus, God the Son, is the perfect individual, humanity’s redeemer, everyone’s savior, and the gate keeper to the fourth dimension(http://www.math.brown.edu/tbanchof/Yale/project13/bible.htm ).
5) The Holy Spirit, the moral guidepost, observably vibes, empathy, etc.
6)My sources are available for more explanation.

How does one even begin to assess probability for an afterlife? (Plausibility might be a better term.) But I can't see why or how anyone would find eternal salvation probable (or plausible).
Well, it is not unreasonable to believe in the Afterlife considering that nothing is really lost.
It's a metaphyical and controversial quesion, and it is a good quesiton. Reincarntion is also an issue of traditional Buddihism.

I think it is very important to qualify the concept of reincarnation with a particular point of view of particular cultures and traditions, schools of thought or religion. For evolutionits, I'd say, reincarnation is probable and a thought of it is a reasonable one. This is so following that in evolution nothing is never lost as such. Things disintegrate or develop into something else. A into B. Thus, in a way, B posses something of A. Obviously, this kind of looking at the reincarnation is different from the Abrahamic, Buddhist or African perspectives just to mention a few.
Reincarnation is concept that involves the rebirth of a soul or spirit in a new body after death. This is often associated with religious and spiritual beliefs.
It is something rather controversial and philosophically complex issue

Actually, the concept of reincarnation has been carefully studied, and is still being studied under the auspices of the University of Virginia (the late Ian Stevenson began the program) among others. These studies have found support for reincarnation, although not specifically for it as associated with the general beliefs of cultures from the Indian subcontinent, but then at least three other cultures also have well-established beliefs in reincarnation also, they are just lesser known.
And interestingly enough, some of these studies also suggest a link with NDEs, another field that materialistic science tries to discount. In both cases though what is often done is to explain a part of the phenomenon and then claim that the entirety is explained. However, this is a logical flaw as explaining even 99% of something does not explain 100% by simple definition., but rather allows one to know where to concentrate their future studies. The unexplained 1% might well produce a result that requires a new explanation of the 99% as happens on many occasions in true science.
And to invoke the Christian concept of the Trinity in order to justify rejecting reincarnation is not a scientific approach but rather a faith dogmatic faith based one as the Christian trinity is itself an unproven, and indeed unprovable, concept. Dogmatism is the eternal foe of true research, whether openly religious or concealed as scientism or another ism.
