No it's not. It's redefining the word so that it fits something we can't deny.
:rollseyes: Yes, of course, please reread the first paragraph as to what a radical argument is. We do similar things in maths & physics all the time. The fact that we spend a lot more time arguing on a proof from a more mechanical basis doesn't make the conclusions anymore or less when based on subjective axioms.

Edit : In short the argument , a soul, is unproveable from any angle, its just a concept.

Edit2 : so your definition of the soul is ??

See the previous post:

"what was being discussed was the soul as commonly described by many Christians. That part of you that survives physical death, the bit that sits before the Lord in the afterlife and receives judgement according to your performance in your worldly life."

That's incompatible with evolution theory.
