Well, this is because, since Christians are created in their God's image,
they all actually have +three+ souls, not one. Reincarnation happens, but
involves shuffling. The saints are simply ordinary people who have been
excited into a higher-religious-energy state, often by direct divine
perspiration... which also explains their notoriously shorter lifetimes.
[And there are a certain number of antisouls floating around out there;
they can also combine in threesomes, to create for example Hitl^H^H^H^HStalin,
or can combine with a soul to create one of those grey unrememberable people
that the world is so full of. Plus there's more exotic combinations
available which give you things like leprechauns and dragons. And angels
just have souls with different quantum numbers and no free will, so they
can't decay into ordinary folks, the way God decayed at the beginning of
time...]

Alamos? Well it was, and you can ask Matt, only not _that_ Matt, a different
Matt, the one who was working on wormholes with flat sides...
