      no. in fact, many neuroscientists think that the soul does not exist.

      You could equally ask is there any way to scientifically prove that people don’t have a soul. Something that scientists aren’t able to do is prove a negative. It all depends on what you think the soul is as well. My opinion is we can understand conciousness by studying brain chemistry, but I think when it comes to what you classify as the soul it is as much up to what you want to believe as it is up to science to prove or disprove anything.

      I don’t think so – you’ll have to take this on trust if you want to.
