Nah, I define the soul as entirely embedded in the body. Quite dead when the body dies.

If soul=consciousness then it is entirely attributable to the brain and therefore must die when the brain dies. Your definition excludes the possibility of any eternal existence.

Burden of proof fail. It's necessary for the claimant to provide evidence for their position. Until such evidence is provided, the claim remains unsubstantiated and can be ignored.
