The soul is also that which distinguishes human beings from all animals. Animals do not have souls, they mey be 'aware' in animalistic way that humans have them.
I also note, 'souls' are implicitly what is capable of 'freewill' although a better phrase would be knowledge of good and evil. Souls, if worthy, are what experience Salvation. Ascribing to an animal characteristics implicit of having a soul is blasphemous. I would advise the Christers here to suppress their odd urges in that direction in my presence. I also think a strong case can be made that people born deformed or grossly disabled do not possess souls. I would entertain discussions as to when a person disabled or disfigured outside of congenitally might no longer possess a soul.
Another fact about souls is that the presence or absence of one is the determinant of whether or not a specific Christer is deemed to be alive or not.
And if all of that sounds like it was processed through a 3 graders head while in a small midwestern Sunday school by a Sunday school marm that while sincere, might have been a tad less than intellectually rigorous about her beliefs, go get yourself a celebratory non-carbonated, non-caffeinated beverage !!!

As for the actual topic, disproving the soul, understand that while the physical traits ascribed to them in Holy Scripture are ludicrous, Christers are 100% stuck with every odd jot and tittle Inerrantly recorded in the Bible about them.
And the consequences.
