In response to Devan's question... "Do you believe a scientific method to determine whether or not the human body contains a soul could ever be created/invented? Why or why not?"
I dont think there could ever exist a scientific way of proving the existence of a soul because I don't see the soul as following scientific principles. I see the soul as more of an incorporeal belief, an ethereal concept, than a physical, provable substance (see my last post). I think such an endeavor would be similar to trying to prove the existence of God, whatever form he/she/it/they make take. We all have our own conceptions of who or what God is or is not, and most of those beliefs do not even give him/her/it/them a physical, biological presence in the first place. With our current scientific ability, we can not prove or disprove the existence of a God in the same way that we cannot prove or disprove the existence of a soul.
I believe that the only possible way to answer the question of a soul lies in one's own religious or personal beliefs rather than science. If you believe in a soul, then it exists to you. If you believe that the soul does not exist, then it does not exist to you, in your own reality.
Q: How do you, personally, define the soul?
