alt Hacker NewsAny argument that a "soul" exists or that consciousness does not arise from the physical world (eg our neurons) is literally unfalsifiable. It cannot be disproven in the same way you can't disprove the existence of God, and so arguing with people that believe in it is largely pointless.

Yet the mere fact that I am conscious is a greater truth than any of my perception of the "physical" world.
Neither does pure materialism rest on falsifiable beliefs, in that I could claim nothing exists outside my conscious experience.
Argue with someone who gathered evidence scientifically to demonstrate that we really, really don't know what we're talking about when it comes to the human soul:

EDIT: Downvote all you want, materialists, but reincarnation is the spanner in the works nobody wants to confront ..

This is an metaphysical discussion, so falsifiability is kind of irrelevant. All metaphysical positions are ultimately unfalsifiable - including materialism and physicalism just as much as dualism or monism or theism.
