"Nonsense. There is absolutely no scientific proof, or any proof, that a soul exists, or survives death." Science is involved with a practical application of the physical/Temporal Universe. Why would I agree to argue that it does or does not prove the existence of things that extend beyond the temporal? Science or proofs as you call them provide evidence of physical phenomenon but fall short of proving a great deal. We accept the existence of love and emotional bonding because we can do surveys and social observations etc. But the real evidence is self evidence and existed before the social sciences were ever imagined. There are many self evident truths that neither require scientific proof nor are they qualified by scientific proof. There are many kinds of evidence to forces both seen and unseen that are not explained by scientific proof. Scientific proof after all is really not absolute proof any way. It is a system of providing evidence for things, the nature of things, and phenomenon in the temporal universe. A rather transitory system at that. Definitely not a final word on much of anything. You don't actually have proof of anything Robert. Time to start over.
