Likewise, is the soul something that can be empirically tested?
I was just trying to clarify EnochRoot's idea that neurons can create free thought. I wanted to see what he actually meant by that. My guess is that he would agree with you, but that still makes me wonder what free thought means to him.

I do agree with him (based on his answer above).
I don't know what it means. Unpredictability appears to exist (at least within the limits of our understanding to this point).
However, unpredictability exists within other things, such as random mutations in evolution. They don't negate the scientific method.
