How can you prove that the 'Soul' exists?
Someone says there is no such thing as soul, buts it biological, a female egg and a males sperm can create the soul.

Let us first know the definition of soul according to the Bible.
Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
So a soul is the totally being of a man consists of flesh, bone & spirit.
Is there a proof for that?
1Peter 3:20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

Yes the soul exists in format of same as water.
If you drop colour in water then it changes colour to whatever it is, if you drop lets say ROTTON RONS into yourself everyday well we all seen that on TV supersize me, so also if you drop bad things into your brain and heart then you will also have a bleeding soul... so that is more than enough proof for now but if you need the ultimate proof let me know I have just the thing!

There is no way that a proof, passing the test of scientific, physical methods, can be presented to the effect that a soul exist. The issue is realy whether God exist or not and we are the product of his creative activities.

I can't prove a soul exists. I can't capture and measure it. I can tell you about the origin of a soul in scripture.
Jeremiah tells us in the Old Testament the God knew him before he was in the womb. He was talking about pre-existence. We were around a long time before the we came to earth.
Paul writes "we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?
Heavenly Father is our literal spiritual parent.

This is what the Bible teaches about the soul:
When you examine the way “soul” or “souls” is used in the Bible, it becomes evident that this word basically refers to (1) people, (2) animals, or (3) the life that a person or an animal enjoys.
People. “In Noah’s days . . . a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water.” (1 Peter 3:20) Here the word “souls” clearly stands for people—Noah, his wife, his three sons, and their wives. Exodus 16:16 mentions instructions given to the Israelites regarding the gathering of manna. They were told: “Pick up some of it . . . according to the number of the souls that each of you has in his tent.” So the amount of manna that was gathered was based upon the number of people in each family. Some other Biblical examples of the application of “soul” or “souls” to a person or to people are found at Genesis 46:18; Joshua 11:11; Acts 27:37; and Romans 13:1.
Animals. In the Bible’s creation account, we read: “God went on to say: ‘Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens.’ And God went on to say: ‘Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind.’ And it came to be so.” (Genesis 1:20, 24) In this passage, fish, domestic animals, and wild beasts are all referred to by the same word—“souls.” Birds and other animals are called souls at Genesis 9:10; Leviticus 11:46; and Numbers 31:28.
Life as a person. Sometimes the word “soul” means one’s life as a person. Jehovah told Moses: “All the men who were hunting for your soul are dead.” (Exodus 4:19) What were Moses’ enemies hunting for? They were seeking to take Moses’ life. Earlier, while Rachel was giving birth to her son Benjamin, “her soul was going out (because she died).” (Genesis 35:16-19) At that moment, Rachel lost her life. Consider also Jesus’ words: “I am the fine shepherd; the fine shepherd surrenders his soul in behalf of the sheep.” (John 10:11) Jesus gave his soul, or life, in behalf of mankind. In these Bible passages, the word “soul” clearly refers to life as a person. You will find more examples of this sense of “soul” at 1 Kings 17:17-23; Matthew 10:39; John 15:13; and Acts 20:10.

The 'soul' is merely the animating force that powers ANY living thing. The fact that it is alive proves the soul.
As to an IMMORTAL soul, that cannot really be proven, because immortal means it will live FOREVER. That's a LONG time.

There is a scripture in the Old Testament. (sorry I need to look it up)that states that God knew us before we were in our mother's womb. That sounds pretty soulful to me.
