Either the soul survives death or it does not, and there is no scientific evidence that it does.

Skeptics question the validity of a particular claim by calling for evidence to prove or disprove it.

Scientific prayer makes God a celestial lab rat, leading to bad science and worse religion.

Religious faith depends on a host of social, psychological and emotional factors that have little or nothing to do with probabilities, evidence and logic.

Dualists hold that body and soul are separate entities and that the soul will continue beyond the existence of the physical body.

Claims that cannot be tested, assertions immune to disproof are veridically worthless, whatever value the may have in inspiring us or in exciting our sense of wonder.
