What's really important is the present and how you can improve that. That's what fellowship with Christ enables.
If the soul isn't biological, chemical, physical or psychological, then we either are missing a vital science that could show us what a soul is, or then there is no such thing. For me personally I need research and evidence before I'm convinced that I've got a soul. The things you talk about are to me psychological, alas, it has to do with the psyche and not necessarily a soul. And don't get me started on the morality of the god of the Bible, but I think I'll leave that to another debate.
Science, as it defines itself, does not cover the metaphysical, only the physical. So if you're waiting for scientific evidence then your wait is for science. If you're waiting for current science to prove the metaphysical then that's illogical.
If you disagree with the morality of the Christian God then you disagree with the Christian premise and you won't be addressing Christianity. That being said many forum members here would gladly join you in such debate on a non premise.
