Godless,
Yeah, that is why I mentioned that Dr. MacDougall only performed his experiment on 6 people. It is woefully inadequete to be a conclusive experiment and, as EvF pointed out, even if there was weight loss it certainly isn't conlusive evidence of a soul. If the test WAS done more often and the same results were found I would see it as a step towards proving that a soul exists or some other vital part of us, that has weight, leaves upon death. It is a pretty weird experiment and hard to get participants without appearing ghoulish. Hmm, I was expecting harsher posts but I imagine I won't get any because I didn't make any strong assertion.
