NO but science has proven that at the moment of death (when the Bible says your soul goes out of you) there is a small but measurable Loss of weight in your body. and this occurred in 100% of the studies at exactly the moment of death, much before any body secretion loss of weight.

You can't disprove things for which there's no evidence in the first place.
Science also can't disprove that there are little invisible purple fairies dancing around my head right now. But that doesn't mean they're very likely to be there.
You can come up with pretty much any crazy idea you want to ... but the inaibility to scientifically disprove it is NOT proof that it exists. That's a logical fallacy.
I have to agree with Twilight -- is this the best they've got? They appeal to the authority of science, but then try to discredit science? You can't have it both ways.
LOL at the thumbs down. I love you fundies.

No. Because scientists can not see, feel, touch or experiment on soul. This is why most scientists are atheists or they are not devoted to any religion deep in their hearts.
They can not understand spiritualism. They have hard time believing God whom they can not seen. And religion requires believing the unseen. Doctors can not believe that it was patient's time to die written by God and they keeps trying to find the cause of death.

No, it can't disprove anything that doesn't exist. You can't prove Unicorns don't live in the forests or that goblins live in cupboards.
However it makes it very, very unlikely. One argument from theists naively using arguments from science (notice how they love the respectability of science and use it as much as possible then throw it out the window when it contradicts their beliefs) is the law of conservation of energy.
When we die the energy can't just vanish - therefore there must be life after death. Wrong. The chemical energy stored in your body just gets eaten by bacteria or insects. They're not eating your soul, are they?

Well, the Bible already does that. The Biblical soul is simply the breath of life plus a body. No eternal orb of consciousness needed.

The soul, i.e., self-consciousness, is the one baffling (for science) immaterial thing that stands between man and animal. Science can't deny it, they can't get around it, and they can't get over it - so they try to dismiss it. All serve to discredit evolution.

you use the old:
Argumentum ad ignorantiam (argument to ignorance). This is the fallacy of assuming something is true simply because it hasn't been proven false. For example, someone might argue that global warming is certainly occurring because nobody has demonstrated conclusively that it is not. But failing to prove the global warming theory false is not the same as proving it true.

No. Neither can science disprove life after death.

The soul only exists in the mind.

can science disprove the fsm? invisible pink unicorn? can it disprove the existence of anything? NO!
