EvF,
So you honestly consider your responses to me well thought out?
It isn't necessarily proof of a soul but it could lend some insight into what happens after we die.
That fact that you don't believe it does not mean it didn't happen. Besides, I said the reason "I", me, the author of this thread, believe is because of personal experience. The fact that you think I am saying YOU should believe is just your erroneous reading of my post.
When did I say it was immaterial? I said, "The soul for me would be comprised of the energetic part of the body and the mind."
You refer to the Kirlian photography link that I said was a dead end.
The whole point of my thread was to show that there isn't any conclusive, objective evidence of a soul but there might be some interesting follow up to Dr. MacDougall's work.

Quote:1. Why would losing weight after death, suddenly jump to the conclusion of it somehow being a "soul?". Isn't that kind of like, God of the gaps, only...'Soul(s) of the gaps' Instead?

Quote:2. How is your personal experience evidence? It may be a reason to believe from your point of view, but over 70,000 people...70,000 in Portugal, Fatima, claimed to see the Sun crash to the Earth - but did it happen? Personal experience alone, is not evidence - it's not objective.

Quote:3. If the Soul is really immaterial, as it's so often claimed to be ( or even non-physical altogether), how would it have a weight?

Quote:On one of the links in the OP, I forgot which one now, it said that the claims could easily be debunked. And one of the suggestions was, that it is simply moisture leaving the body.
