Soul existence cannot be proved by science

Abstract:
Every week I write an article for the Sci-Tech section about the occult. For some reason, no one ever cares, unless I write about UFOs, in which case I receive grammatically poor death threats and get called names on the Triangle message boards.
As much as I wanted to write about UFOs this week to see what new words people would invent to describe me (9 out of 10 illiterate peasants seem to prefer "The Iron Craptic" instead of The Iron Skeptic, which is a reference to that show on the Food Channel where that Japanese Liberace forces cooks to do his bidding), I just couldn't help it....

Can it be disproven by science?

Aaron:

The human soul has weight and science has proven this.

Is the blood in yours veins boiling yet?

No, but seriously, you've convinced me.

There is no scientific evidence that Aaron Sakulich has a soul.

Have you seen any pictures of me? I'm sure mine is made of walrus blubber, so technically, you're right again; it is not made of meat.

Accursed Macs and their microscopic print; I made a typo Aaron.

I wrote "Is the blood in yours veins boiling yet?" when I meant:

"Is the blood in your veins boiling yet?"

Well . . . is it?

That would be kind of cool to watch.

Messy . . . but waay cool.

Why should the blood in your veins boil when you hear the mentioned comment? After all if you truly want to be objective you should in fact keep your cool and save the fury for the pub brawls :-) Science cannot "prove" anything.It may only disprove, empirically rendering certain explanations of naturally occuring events - erroneous. You must surely know what number one and number two major errors mean in statistics and science in general. Science did not "disprove" the existence of soul nor even the fact that the soul actually weighs something (however silly that may sound). So, untill someone flighty enough will replicate the doctors experiments and will show exactly where the doctor erred - one may merely shrug their shoulders at the possibility of soul having physical weight. We simply do not know. Blessed in our ignorance why should we be offended by ignorance of others who think that science is able to "prove" anything including the fact of soul weighing 21 grams?
Besides- we live in a world of infinite possibilities. Plus it scares me (and soothes me at the same time) to think how little we actually know about the world we live in :-)

"The human soul is not made of meat" well DUH! no fucking shit. The soul is immaterial and immortal.

There is no way to "prove" scientifically that there is such a thing as a soul, it's immaterial. How else would it be able to leave your body when you die? Therefore you're not going to loose anyweight because your soul leaves your body. Dr. MacDougall did not perform a good experiment to validate his hypothesis. And until someone does a better job of performing the experiment he did or come up with a better idea of proving the existence of there being such a thing as a soul, that's all it will remain to be; just a hypothesis. Then, again even if they did make it into a theory, that still does not mean it's true!
