Is my argument against afterlife an equivocation fallacy?

IE that unconscious people (souls, in exchange) might not have temporal awareness doesn't show that they don't exist. It would be informative, though. If it really is a problem for souls..that exist... to account for time (or remember) then we're positing that souls suffer from something we'd call a disorder.

I think that saying "Souls are timeless." is an ad-hoc hypothesis. It makes the theory more complicated, as one would not expect that from "The brain is the antenna for the soul.". In fact, it makes the theory significantly more complicated, as now you need to explain how can a soul which exists outside of time communicate with a brain which exists within time.
