the bible talks about the soul - so science has nothing to do with the soul - it's something spiritual - atheist do you think that the spiritual world exist - if you say yes - God is a Spirit which is another proof of the existance of God
if the soul exist God exist too -conscience is the center of the soul which tell us want is good and bad - it always remind us the wrong things as well as the good things we do!!
example:
conscience is real - have you heard a little voice inside that tells you Hey don't do that is not correct" " hey don't go there is dangerous" or "hey why did you took the _________ that was not yours. etc. etc.

I have heard this before, the existence of a soul proves the existence of god. Well, prove the existence of a soul. You can't do it. You can know you are alive and thinking, but you cannot prove that your mental self can live outside of your body. You cannot prove that your mental self is something seperate from your brain. This is not an proof of the existence of a god or gods. If you did consider that evidence of some sort, you could just as easily say the same thing but have aliens or a matrix style computer taking care of your soul. Don't expect people to blindly believe. Give them proof of what you are saying. In this case, prove the soul exists.
When you die, the brain will not have its energy or oxygen and will die too. The chemical reactions will stop and the neurons will stop firing. What was there is gone. You are not downloaded to a different world or pop up in a new body or float away to valhalla. You are dead.

Well, the existence of a soul or a spiritual world wouldn't necessarily "prove" the existence of a personal god.
I don't believe in either.
Also, the conscience is a part of your mind which helps you decide what decisions to make. I believe it is based off of your past experiences, the things you have been taught and exposed to, and your personal decisions of right and wrong, etc. If it were evidence of a personal god, we'd all have the same conscience, which is untrue. (example: In some societies, it is perfectly moral and acceptable for a family to marry off their children at puberty. In our society, that is not acceptable.)

I apologize for all the folks on here who made rude and stupid comments about your avatar's hair. Idiots.
You say that if we think the spiritual world exists, then that proves the existence of God because God is a spirit. This is irrational and illogical, whether God exists or not.
It is like saying this: I believe that bears are real, therefore that proves that Winny the Pooh and Bre'r Bear exist.
Believe in God if you will, but base it on reason and logic, not on presumption and false assertions.

Religion is a man made construct to explain the un-explainable. Like your example, science has yet to explain the conscience. I do not believe that the voice you hear is the "God" person you speak of. I believe that your conscience is your inner-self having a debate with your inner-self. It could also just be yourself talking to yourself in your mind. Just because we can't explain, doesn't mean that "God" is behind it. I do believe in ghosts and science or the bible has yet to explain either of them. Sure you got the holy spirit and what not, but I have also seen Elvis's ghost.

Conscience is the sub-conscious mind producing involuntary emotional response based on instinctive and adapted social behaviors. Humans have a conscience, so do dogs and bonobo chimpanzees.
In its own way, our conscience is a means of the sum of our genetic education contacting our immediate awareness. Self preservation is an instinct- and we have many more insticts as humans based not on preserving ourselves in the immediate sense, but on preserving our family and our community- which is self preservation at the genetic and social levels respectively.
Far from proving the existance of god, the conscience and the way it interacts with our physiology is the strongest proof for evolution of which I am aware.

No I don't believe in a soul. There may be a collective consciousness, but it is of no consequence to me. I don't believe a spirtual realm exists. I don't beleive a God exists. That little voice inside you isn't a spirit or another little person, it is part of who you are, just as dreams are not things that happen in another life.

lol so if we claim the soul doesnt exist? whats your point?
conscience is not your soul btw.... no more then your memory. and if u claim memory is part of your soul then ur saying when u die u remember everything. and if that be the case then when you die and go to heave, and see all the rest of your family in hell being tourtured and tormented, you are still going to be happy? as christians claim there is no sadness in hell?
conscience is more to do with your "live and learn" self. if you get slapped for taking a cookie once or twice, (or until you learn) in the future when u take it you have a built in fear of being slapped. its nothing more then natural instict. (perhaps helped out with empaty - the ability to feel another persons pain)
if that be, then why are you equating the conscience with the soul if you get a new one anyway. they ahve no relation to eachother.

Yes I believe in what some may call a soul it's like an inner energy that never dies, and my conscience, that's just me, I know the difference between right and wrong.

Souls spirits gods angels demons, all stories.
Even if there was some useless thing called a "soul", it in no way proves god.
Conscience is a conditioned reaction. We feel bad because people tell us we are bad. or perhaps it is in the DNA as OJ Simpson and other sociopaths do not seen to have one.

I don't believe in spirits...because i have no reason to believe in them. There is no evidence for them beyond a books' say-so.
The conscience is not anything divine. It is an awareness of cultural mores and conventional morality. It has nothing to do with divinity. The conscience of an aboriginie will react to different things than an American's will. There is no "inborn" morality, only what our culture teaches us.
