Why? The scientific method works perfectly well for everyhting else on the planet. Why should the existence of soul, or god, be any more a matter of faith than the fact that earth rotates around the sun?* Why should existence of something be an opinion? If it exists, the it exists and is provable, if it doesn't exist then it just plain doesn't exist. No need for opinions or faith here.

*(Or actually, rotates around the center of gravity in the solar system which happens to be very near the center of the sun, but anyway.)

Because "proof" is under the sway of "perception" and "understanding" which continually evolve. If you want to apply the "At this time, we believe:" to every fact that is presented by scientific conclusion, then it would be accurate. Science continually disproves other previsouly scientific facts, or finds and creates theories to plug the holes in otherwise grandly adopted factual systems.
