    I don't believe in souls.
    I'm too deep in science to believe non-fact things.
    Show me a soul and I will believe in them.

    Science is about establishing facts and understanding reality and even scientists have to believe in non-factual things to actually disprove their fictionality.
    For something to be scientific, I think, it must stand the test of negation, and in that sense, souls are very scientific, because, you can't prove that souls don't exist, so until you do that, you can't claim to be scientific by stating your disbelief in them.

    Are souls completely immaterial if people can sense or see that they exist?

    Anyway, people have been known to imagine all sorts of things an word of mouth is the only way I have known the concept of 'soul' so I don't believe theres much of a concept around to DISprove.

    How can you disprove a concept of something for which almost every human being has a different definition anyway?

    You can DISprove the existence of souls. There's a concept you can DISprove

    hmm, is that sarcasm? My sarcasm detector is broken.

    I believe in Karma to an extent. Balance. But there are exceptions to everything.

    And I do not believe it souls. It is possible, but it seems too far fetched for me.

    ...is this a joke?
    a simple attempt at more spam?
    or a true belief on your part that isn't quite true?

    i dont believe in karma...what makes you think "everybody" believes in karma?

    I feel that souls are a kind of energy that was left behind when someone dies and I do believe in them.

    Think of it this way. Your thoughts, emotions, feelings, and what-have-you, are all millions of electrical impulses flowing through your brain, right? Electrical impulses=energy, right? Eienstein said that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, right? If this were true, then after you die the energy that was, in effect, you, has to go somewhere. It simply doesn't fade out. It is quite possible, at least in my book, that your thoughts could live on after death. Or something. Hell I don't know. I'm tired.....

    Actually he said matter cannot be created or destroyed. Electric impulses are not a form of matter. That'd be like saying the radio waves that a T.V. station puts out are matter, and that they don't disappear, but rather group up and clog up space in the air.

    It doesn't matter to me about NOT proving if they exist.
    It just matters about proving if they do exist.
    I don't think there are any scientists trying to think about souls.
    Because you can't detect them with any of our senses.
    Why should we worry about these things?
    Religious people should worry about what we're discussing.
    Souls can not be studied, if you do, it will just fall into a different category.
    To sum it all up, a soul would be difficult to try and find.
    Nobody should worry about it.
    It's all about personal conception.
    Either you believe it or not, you can't prove anything.

    Actually proving something doesn't exist is a highly important part of science. There were a good many completely wrong theories about what light was, for instance, which have since been DISproved.

    If you can disprove something then you don't waste further time trying to prove it, you get what I mean?
