Boxxy - The soul is simply an ancient assumption about the nature of man, not at all rooted in scientific discovery.
There is no good reason to believe that a soul exists other than wishful thinking, the soul is in absolutely no way required to explain anything at all about the human condition so it's an utterly pointless assumption for one to make - the only reason you would do so is because you want there to be a soul, because it conforms to your preconceived fantasies about reality, but we all know that thinking in such a way is simply an act of futility - it is fine to entertain the idea or study the potential truth but at the end of the day you have to accept the following: The truth does not in the slightest give a damn about what we believe to be true or what we want to be true, only what is true - and that is something entirely external to our tiny role in the cosmic perspective.
