What do you mean by prove? Prove each point you made in this thread. Let's see if you can do that. You see, scholars on my side say the soul is immortal, according to the Bible. Ezekiel 18:4 says "the soul that is sinning itself shall die." Easy. Your turn.

When claims of the supernatural are said to intervene with the natural world, science very much has authority and is the ideal method by which to test such claims. Consider Joshua 10:13. We know these events did not happen. Claiming science can have no opinion on supernatural events doesn't make the events any more plausible.
Edit: I also find it curious that you directly attempt to invalidate science's ability to opine in supernatural matters, yet attempted to gain credibility for your position by citing scientists that presumably agree with you.
In discussions like this we tend to be somewhat lazy and over confident. Correct me if I'm wrong. Joshua was there. A witness. He said it stayed daylight for a prolonged period of time. I don't think he knew how this was done, but the impression given was that the sun stopped. You and no person of current science was there. No person including yourself knows whether or not the spirit being known as God exists or not. No one in the history of science at this point can establish with certainty if the standing still of the sun is actually possible. It is all overconfident conjecture. If I had to guess I would guess that the Creator made it seem like the sun had stood still, much like in the Book of Revelation it says the sun will be no more and Jehovah God will be our source of light.
I would confidently conjecture that you have never not believed in a god (in adult life after indoctrination). Just doesn't cut it for me sorry. Next.
