A belief that was enormously popular during the dark ages and led to a thousand years of
philosophical dead ends; not surprising really, confusion is inevitable if you insist on
trying to make sense out of gibberish.
So you think the existence of soul or spirit is not just false but incomprehensible. I
disagree since there are experiments (e.g. healing prayer, NDE tests) that could have
provided evidence for these extra-physical phenomena. By their null result they provide
evidence against them. But on your view there cannot be evidence for or against because
the concept cannot be given any meaning, much less an operational meaning that can be tested.
