I'd like to collect the local soul-believers' answers on this topic, but if you don't believe in souls, feel free to add more questions.
The soul is made of information that exerts downward causation on matter and energy. Information isn't matter, but matter embodies information. Information isn't energy, but energy can transfer information. The idea of a 'materialist' solution is just so 19th century.
Independent of energy or matter, is there such a thing as information? Not saying there isn't in the sense that information could be stored in numerous matter and energy combinations. But is it possible for information to exist without matter or energy? And is there any information that is not about matter or energy?
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
