..Or natural
......Or non natural
............Or natural
Honestly....? Pick a lane Tack, lol.
This is a requirement of your own insistence. I'm suggesting that you are, in fact, wrong...just as you concede you may be. That was my point. I see, above, that you've floated the notion that a brain might merely be a hard drive. We know this to be untrue. You know this to be untrue. You continue to argue in bad faith. Perhaps you merely believe in bad faith, with conflicted articles of that faith? Whatever the case, and whatever it is that makes you post this stuff, we will not be having a fact free conversation, you and I. You'll have to go elsewhere for that.

So far, you've failed to establish that "soul" is an explanation for six of those eight things. Saying "We have a soul" doesn't explain mind or how we have qualia or qualitative consciousness. It doesn't even make the attempt. "We have a soul" adds no information to any dispute between determinism and free will. A soul may be determined, a soulless creature may be free. Morality?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
