Proof and evidence will always equal Science

I don't know much about other religions, but Islam acknowledges that the soul is undefinable, unknowable: 

"And they ask you about the soul. Say: The soul is one of the commands of my Lord, and you are not given aught of knowledge but a little." (Qur'an 17:85)

This line of revelation purportedly came to the Islamic Prophet when a group of Jews challenged him to reveal the reality of the soul. 

Alternately, a false prophet would have dissembled and said, ‘It’s a secret that only God knows’.  Oddly enough, this is exactly what Mohammed did.

Go figure.

 One of many lies found in Islam. (most if not all religions contain some lies)   Two of my favourites is the stubborn instance that chunks of the Quran are not lifted from the Torah. The other is that Muhamad dictated the Quran. That's up there with the Orthodox Jewish and literalist Christian claims that Moses wrote The Torah.

I guess that once a person is willing to believe in god(s), it's not hard to convince them of all kinds of loopy beliefs. Having had 1500 hundred years more practice than the proddies, the Catholic church remains the master in Christendom.
