But how do you falsify that a soul is reborn, if there is no trace of the original soul in the newborn? And how do you falsify that people reach Nirvana (निर्वाण, 涅槃), if the only thing you can go on is their own tales?

Falsifying Religion
Buddhism is the most powerful of religions. Not because it is the truest one, but because it is so cleverly designed that it is impossible to falsify. Christianity could theoretically be falsified, if it were shown that Jesus was not God. Islam could be falsified, if it turned out that the historic facts in the Koran (القرآن al-qur'ān) did not take place.
But how do you falsify that a soul is reborn, if there is no trace of the original soul in the newborn? And how do you falsify that people reach Nirvana (निर्वाण, 涅槃), if the only thing you can go on is their own tales?
