A Science Myth of The Soul

Evidence

What about the belief in Far East? The Hinduism contains many variant beliefs on the origins, purposes, and fate of the souls. "For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever – existing and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain." (Srila Prabhupada). In Islam, the soul is immortal and eternal. What a person does in this life is recorded and will be judged by God.

But do we really have souls? Scientifically speaking, there have been numerous experiments to test if we, the human have soul or not. Most famous one would be the experiment by Dr. Duncan MacDougall, in 1907. He made weight measurements of patients as they died. He claimed that there was weight loss of varying amounts at the time of death. His results have never been reproduced, and was generally regarded either as meaningless or considered to have had little if any scientific merit. Nonetheless, he measured out of six times in his experiment that whenever a person dies, he or she would lost 21 grams, and he claimed that it is the weight of the soul that departs the body. But he did not take into account that the heart stops working so there is no blood stream movements in a human body as well as the temperature drop could affect greatly the total weight of the body.
