They cold talk and every thing?

We already make robots that can talk and act quite human.
Do some research into the "Turing Test". We already make software programs that are capable of fooling us into thinking they are talking to another person.
To your question... the soul is unprovable. Which makes is impossible to disprove. And, sentience does not prove or disprove anything.

Don't you mean cyborgs rather than robots?
How would their ability to speak disprove the existence of the human soul?
You mean if they proclaimed, "I have no soul, therefore neither do humans possess a soul!"
Such an invention would only have the ability to say what it has been programed to say.
Bad programming, bad information!

We know how a robot is put together...bolts, solider, but humans....well we know the biological beginning egg+sperm = zygote, but just how that zygote gains LIFE is still a mystery. Why do some embryos grow to a fetus, and some disintegrate? The only One who can answer this question has given us a book of knowlege - The Bible.

Even if they gained consciousness (aware of themselves), I think people would still debate it.

Souls don't need to be disproven. They need to be proven, first.
