Regarding the second, I am challenging your assumption that evidence is necessary in order to hold onto a hypothesis.
Why don't you just tell us what constitutes evidence for you. Is there a different kind of 'evidence' out there that's equally valid?

So tell us, how can you possibly know that God exists, then? You are part of the physical world, and so is your brain, so if God is interacting with you in some way or another (or interacting with our bodies or 'souls' after death, more to the point of this thread), I fail to see why the interaction can't be measured. I suppose you could say that the 'soul' is also non-physical and immeasurable, like God, but then you'd have to explain how such a thing could exist within a physical and measurable human body and brain, yet still be separate from the natural world.
