If you falsify this proposition, by showing man does indeed have a soul, it would refute the existence of my particular God. I would have to join Hinduism or Islam, or any other religion with a soul-predicting God. Or at the very least reinterpret my churches beliefs to account for the information.
No we mean falsify god, not a particular religious belief, there is as so far no evidence of a soul.
The soul itself is so described as to be beyond falsification the meaning (in religious context is) ''the spiritual or immaterial part of a human being or animal, regarded as immortal.'', you claim science is about disproving rather than proving, how would you go about disproving (or proving) the soul ?
Out of interest John, what denomination are you ?
