If someone could conclusively prove that life is created by chemicals, that would destroy Krishna's claims in the Bhagavad Gita about the soul.

...really? So bacteria have souls? Not only has there never been any evidence for a soul (and, in fact, evidence against it) it has been proven that non-living matter can turn into organic matter. Likewise, synthetic lifeforms have been created by inserting genetically engineered DNA into a cell that had no DNA.

Could you please explain exactly what part of life is the 'soul' if it has nothing to do with DNA or vital functions?
