Lev 17:11 the life of the creature is in its blood. The Jews had a more monistic view of mans identity linking the immaterial and material aspects such that neither could exist without the other. Hence the significance of the resurrection following books like Daniel. The Pharisees believed in this and the Sadducees did not. But all Christians believe in the resurrection. Various cults like JWs and Seventh Day Adventists use this idea to justify soul sleep. But the New Testament gives us examples of out of body experiences - which science has documented also and there is a description also of the intermediate state as being one in which our immaterial souls are conscious.
I guess since we are in the science forum here the only way you could really argue this is to show documented examples of where blind men see during near death experiences and describe things there other senses could not have known or where floating souls see a shoe jammed on a window ledge in a place that required flight to view. These would demonstrate that a purely materialistic scientific approach cannot explain certain higher aspects of our humanity.
