We already know that the conscience is nothing more than a natural computer program played in the bio-chemical brain. There is NO MAGIC WOO required!
We know we can totally dick with the conscience with chemicals and probes, something that would not be possible if the brain were controlled by magic "Woo."
"Spirits of the type you are referring to, do not exist.
"What distinguishes us from rocks, trees, and fire hydrants?" What a fine example of christian brainpower with that question! Are you having trouble with this currently?
Besides the obvious material differences, we do originate from exploded star material, so in that way, there isn't any difference.
