You talk of rubbish such as "souls"and "breath of life" and "spirit', as if they were facts. Please present proof that this nonsense is a "fact".

 

 

Wow, you really dont believe in souls??? Seriously now?? I can see how someone can not believe in God or jesus or heaven but how can man not believe in soul???

 

Also, existance of a human soul is a PROVEN FACT.

A fact huh? Unless you're talking about that study they did when they figured out a minute amount of weight leaves the body upon death(this study is flawed btw)... There's no proof for a human soul.

Just as little nickpick here:
 A DVD with a movie written on it doesn't weight anymore than a blank DVD. Thus we do know stuff exist that has no weight

 To a blind man the color red doesn't exist.

That doesn't equate to proof or 'proven fact' as pizzahut451 implied. Just that the possibility of the soul existing is still present. You could say that about a lot of things.

Your DVD example is also flawed because we obviously have methods of measuring and reading the contents of a DVD. We also can't see Infra-red or wavlengths of light beyond the specturm of our eyes, yet we know they exist because we have instruments that are capable of measuring and detecting them.

Until a study shows measurable detection of the soul, there is no evidence to suggest its existence. Not knocking belief in the human soul, but saying that it's existence is fact and proven is wrong.

You got to have a "soul" reader just like an example of DVD. :) 

 THe DVD example is limited  since the DVD (or the player) is not examining itself. Thus to the DVD player movies doesn't exist. We as outsiders (apart from DVD and player) are able to understand "the movie". 

While you can't put a soul in a test tube our society is based on the idea (or fact) man has a soul or whatever you want to call it.
