Question about "faith"

[Mister Agenda]

And why did we conjecture souls in the first place? We lack records but experiences of dreams, hallucinations, and psychedelic drugs give a reason to suspect we leave our bodies and go to some different place where the rules of the waking world aren't preserved. 

I think that anthropologists would strongly take issue with the notion that we lack records.  Sure, dreams...hallucinations, drugs..but these are all just sub-groups of a larger set.  Human experience.  Our everyday human experience also provides us with the intuition that we are or have a something we routinely call a soul.  We credibly employ the term even when we don't believe in spirits.  

Our inability to comprehend the processes involved lead us to fill that conceptual void with the specific contents of our immediate mythologies - and it's worth pointing out that immateriality is the exception to the rule on that count.

I think I was unclear. We lack records of when we first started to think we had souls, and why. Since that would have been before recorded history began, we lack those records. Of course there are records of soul issues after we started making records. My apologies for not being more specific.

You care enough about the bickering to consistently get things wrong. That's more than chance would predict in statistical terms lol.

I would think not caring would be quite compatible with getting things wrong.

That's the equivalent of non-scientists claiming science isn't reliable because scientists disagree. I don't believe truth is established by unanimous vote, perhaps you do, and we can disagree about that.

No, it's not. It's more like the outlying scientists claiming they represent the scientific consensus.
