Most Christians regard the soul as the immortal essence of a human - the seat or locus of human [[will]], [[understanding]], [[morality]] and/or [[personality]].

Scientists generally ignore or dismiss the soul as unsuitable for study. To be precise, the [[methodological naturalism]] of modern science is unable to handle the concept of the soul. Anything which is not material is deliberately excluded{{fact}} from consideration, and as the soul is not a material thing scientists accordingly refuse to study it{{fact}}. This has implications for the study of human [[Psychology]]. There is also the question of when the soul enters the body, as this is important for the debate on [[abortion]] from a theological position.

It should be noted that there was once a study made at the turn of the 20th century of the loss of weight at the time of death. The scientist doing the measurements concluded that this loss of weight was due to the soul leaving the body. No known attempts to follow up his work have ever been made{{fact}}.
