I can count to way further than 11 with something called Mathematics. But if you have trouble counting to 11, you can use your toes. You will have trouble counting to 21 tough, but alas, you can get someone else to get to 40, someone else to get to 60... and so on... Ah man Math induction gives me a hardon.
As to the rest, my philosophy teacher tried to present roughly the same case you are, some odd 18 years ago. Needless to say I can imagine the tooth fairy, witches, ghosts, ET's and a shitload of imagination figments. They all lack the same: evidence. What happens to your vaunted 'soul' when a person suffers trauma that changes the brain structure, completely changing his/her personality? Here you have it if you truly want to know more:

Another thing, If you think 'studying' philosophy gives you some credit, you are wrong. You do philosophy, you don't learn it. Sure a course might help one to avoid the task of reinventing the wheel, but taking said teachings and twist them to indulge your own confirmation bias is very known characteristic of christians and their apologetics.
