Reincarnation life accumulation

[Ashrend]

This is a little bit of a follow on from my last reincarnation question. It occurred to me that unless on another planet we don't know of has had an apocalypse event or the other planes of existence have a lot less beings inhabiting them, new souls are being created here on earth since the human population has dramatically increased in the last 100 years alone. This is with the belief that reincarnation is a thing and we can choose are (our) next lives including being human again. Even when taking into account the amount of animals that are killed to supply us with food and plant life ever, there are too many humans in exsistence at once for their to be a finite amount of souls going in loops with reincarnation. So what is creating this new life? Is it the various gods? Is it through force of will in creating another life? Does this mean that there are young souls and old souls? What are your thoughts and explanations?

The whole more alive now than people who've ever lived thing is a bit of a myth, by most counts. http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-16870579

That said, I don't believe earth is the only place in the universe with life/we only reincarnate on earth. I also do believe that, yeah, new souls can come into existence still. They are created by whatever creative force creates everything else, whether you want to see it as a creator deity or the churning of the universe itself. That there's some primordial material that souls are 'made' from that exists, and creation is still occurring in some way.

From the website it arms to be stating that although there are more dead than alive, the population has increased which in turn does mean that more souls have been created, it's simply that in older times people died young, but there still wasn't the over 7 billion alive compared to the tax records that showed only 3 billion in 1800.
Since magic beings can be, does that mean they have a soul too? Or is it still the idea that they r simply given the appearance of life.

When it comes to spiritual teachings I don't take things too literally. Who's to say souls can't split and multiply? And maybe there is only One and it has multiple facets? Like Mickey D, 7 billion served.

I think humans always reborn as humans, dogs as dogs, and cows as cows. I think souls have existed for a long time, and are born in different places in the universe. But we have a soulhome, and it usually is this planet for this planet's beings. We can have several lives at same time. But we always born the same day.
