Thinking came after brain development, not before.
That would seem to work against your position.

Maybe they'll lean into the idea that all of this life is the explicable result of biology, and therefore, human beings and even a specific race of human beings are the intentional product of a biological machine.
Maybe.
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!

they could always resort to “even if the rise of the flesh is explicable by comprehensible processes the rise of soul can not”
If asked to show the soul exist they will say “soul’s existence is proven by the fact it is so defined as to be undisprovable.”
If asked what unfalsifiable propositions prove they will say “plato this or st augustine, or jesus and Muhammad never needed falsifiability to pontificate, who are you”

Faith is not in the business of trying to be right. The business of faith is never admitting to be wrong despite having done nothing to be right.
