Observation has shown that natural law is unvarying across the universe. The laws which govern particles, enery and time on this planet are exactly the same as those across the other side of the universe.

It's already been established that souls do not exist. It is not narrowminded to state that. It's already been covered.

I've not stated that I have all the answers or that everythign is explainable. You simply pulled that out of your ass to make yourself look stupid. You're getting very upset.

You misunderstand that the word 'theory' means something different in science.

A scientific theory may also correspond with a fact. For example, there is a theory of evolution and a fact of evolution, a theory of gravity and a fact of gravity.

How is it possible to back myself up with proof that souls don't exist. It's up to those in teh affirmative to prove their case, not the other way around.

It seems that this thread has run to three pages. It would seem to have accomplished quite alot of interest.

Based on sound reasoning and the laws of physics or not, a theory is still just a theory.

See above.
