Where do you have this from?

What makes you so sure that there is no soul?

Is it just because no one is known who ever saw or touched it (the aged argument)?

If so, you should take into account that you can't see or touch music eigther - nevertheless it exists!

Music is audible, quantifiable, notatable, mathematically describable and is a phenomenon that is trivially replicable. What actually constitutes "music" is a matter of opinion.

The "soul" is only the last of the things above, i.e. a matter of opinion.

"Soul music" does not constitute proof of the soul by induction from proof of music.

I beleive the human brain can live more than 2 centuries.

After 200 years the axons would be so demylinated, that it would take an hour to remember it's own name... I won't even go into the problems of mitochondrial death (working with all that nasty oxyen and it's free redicals), It would be about as intelegent as a banana.*

*Not a slur on the intelegence of Bananas.

If I recall, during the old biblical times, people lived 200 years or more.

It is rather ambiguous, isn't it.

I take it by that remark that you've never seen Borings Mother in Law before? ;-)
