nw,i got this from a website..
**************************************************
Attempted demonstrations of the soul as distinct from the mind
During the late 19th and first half 20th century, researchers attempted to weigh people who were known to be dying, and record their weight accurately at the time of death. As an example, Dr. Duncan MacDougall, in the early 1900s, sought to measure the weight purportedly lost by a human body when the soul departed it upon death. MacDougall weighed dying patients in an attempt to prove that the soul was material and measurable. These experiments are widely considered to have had little, if any, scientific merit. Despite the fact that MacDougall's results varied considerably around 21 grams, for some people this figure has become synonymous as the measure of a soul's weight. Experiments such as MacDougall's have not been repeated with current precision equipment and research tools, and snopes.com concludes of one researcher that:
"MacDougall's results were flawed because the methodology used to harvest them was suspect, the sample size far too small, and the ability to measure changes in weight imprecise. For this reason, credence should not be given to the idea his experiments proved something, let alone that they measured the weight of the soul as 21 grams. His postulations on this topic are a curiosity, but nothing more."
Researchers, most notably Ian Stevenson and Brian Weiss, have studied reports of children talking about past-life experiences. Any evidence that these experiences were in fact real would require a change in scientific understanding of the mind or would support some notions of the soul.
In recent decades, much research has been done in near-death experiences, which are held by many as evidence for the existence of a soul and afterlife..

so you see,no one can actually tell were the is,for all we know,soul is why we can think for ourselves.jz havin a brain a heart is not enuf for that..there are some people who are living as "vegetable'-where their body is fine,the heart is beating,the brain is functioning so that blood circulation is not stopped BUT the person cant move,respond,talk or do anything at all eventhough their ALIVE..in this condition it is usually said that the soul has left the body..
till any1 can proove it,we've jz goota hold onto what we know/think we know..
and about why God is testing us if HE knows everything-
the thing is,in my opinion NO ONE knows EVERYTHING.even GOD. thats why smtimes people say Women were made from the rib bone of a man after GOD realised that a man needs company in life,so you see,even GOD made a mistake thinking that a man can live on his own..so,there is no harm in GOD testing us because,as far it matters,GOD is trying create a flawless world by Learning from flaws himself..

God sustains his life with the school exams. If we didn't go to university, how will god exist. The soul tremors in between the heart and the brain. A shadow between the intent and the motion.

1. we don't really understand what the soul really is to know where it is,
is it even physical? if it was then we would be able to change it , if not now maybe in a hundred years.
2.although god knows everything, I personally would like to think that he gives us the choice to define our future by testing us, also the tests show god whether we will thank him when he blesses us with good things(which are also a test)
or whether we will not believe in him when he doesn't help us in a bad situation(also a test).

The brain, the heart is just a simple organ. The brain though, is far more complex. Complex enough to house the emotional extension of "the soul."

The question you just asked contains an assumption. It assumes that a soul exists. It doesn't ask whether or not it exists, it assumes that it exists and ask where it is located. We cannot scientifically design an experiment to prove that a soul exists, nor can we prove that it does not exist. Nor can we say that it exists through deductive logic. A soul may or may not exist, but I gurantee you, nobody will know for sure where it exists at this point in time. It may be in the penis/vagina for all we know.......

the soul is all inside of you everywhere in your body. The soul is an expression of God's love that he gave to you when he breathed air into your lungs. When your time on this Earth is done your soul brings you back to God in Heaven.
God tests us so that we may cling to him in times of hardship and so that we can better realize y he is there, but then again that's my guess only God knows y He does what he does.

1. The entire body.
2. God is testing our free will to make the correct choice so he can judge us when it comes the time: heaven or heck.
