huh? medyo magulo ata yung sinabi mo sir. Science is based on logic so that is a null argument. regarding Jesus, majority of scholars belive he existed but the same scholars question or have little agreement on his divinity. so just because Jesus existed doesn't mean necessarily mean that there is a soul.
What I basically said was Science should be under Logic. Its not above it. Its methods should be logically sound in proving/or disproving things. One should be "testing the tests".
So far we cannot "test" the nature of the soul therefor its not the Tool to find out if it exists or not. We can therefore use Historical data and interpret it. Then have the only logical conclusion.

Jesus' divinity is also questioned in every religion (e.g. INC he's just a man but should be worshiped).
I also didn't get you here, Is your conclusion a soul do not exist because there are discussions/disagreements about Jesus divinity?
Anyway Jesus existing is just one example, there is also about God existing due to a number of "proofs" e.g. The Creation, (i.e can something come out from absolutely nothing?) The Moral Arguments (we discussed some of this in the Emphaty thread) etc.
Maraming ididiscuss about that na I have no time unfortunately.
Basically its God exists therefore the Soul exists. (then loop sa taas, about testing its/the soul's) existence via Science.)
And do not fear those who kill the body, but are unable to kill the soul; but fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in - Jesus in Matthew 10:28
biglang nanakot eh noh?
Fear can sometimes be the determinant of good action. Who/What do atheists fear? Are we saying that they are innately doing good out of habit or are simply guided by the knowledge they've obtained from grade school textbooks on morals and values? I see religion as a discipline much like how the law is implemented in a state. Without fear of consequence, what then drives an atheists to do more good than bad?
Fear of consequences can be put out in the equation naman, Morality is also founded in Logic or logically sound, which is mostly I believe there is "Someone" who put things into place so doing good works makes sense, and the answer to "What is good?" also makes sense.
Some of the atheists I know have gone through personal tragedies. A common picture for a believer to convert. I totally understand their predicament. But for others who have made the transition just because who knows why, keep it to yourself. Di ba? Alam mo na pala yung sagot sa buhay eh. Let others discover what you've discovered on their own. You guys are way ahead of us in terms on enlightenment. Good for you, but most of us don't care.
I basically agree with leomarley on this one. Dapat pwede lahat siguro hehe.
