For example, there is no test to confirm whether Napoleon lost at Waterloo. What about things known only by deduction? What is the verifiable evidence that two parallel line never meet in Euclidean space?

The existence of a soul is not a 'God in the gaps' explanation. It is a theory to explain all observed phenomena.
