But the blog post at the link doesn't prove that at all.
Its definition of a soul is:
Quote:they have in mind some sort of blob of spirit energy that takes up residence near our brain, and drives around our body like a soccer mom driving an SUV.
Since they don't (and can't) describe what "spirit energy" is, they can't tell us anything. Is spirit energy like regular energy? Is it detectable by scientific means? (This is even leaving aside whether this is a fair description of what believers talk about.)
Even the definition in the blog post is too ambiguous to prove anything.
At best, the post makes a persuasive case that IF souls are made of detectable and well-understood energy of the type science studies, then we would be able to study them.
Beyond that, it says nothing.
Like Jehanne, you declare victory by begging the question. You assert, without proof, that a soul is made of measurable energy, and then say it hasn't been measured.
