Naturally, I believe we do have a soul. This is based on my Christian faith and my understanding of the Bible.

Aviendha, Consciousness- what makes people aware of themselves first?
In the 17th century Descardes explained that consciousness was like an "observer" in the head, a higher function, seperate from the workings of the physical brain. Neuroscientists have traditionally treated the question of consciousness like an unwelcome geust- irrevelant to understanding the brain. All the work that one imagine being done by bits of the brain. Those brain tissues are not concious and do not know who you are- but their activity adds up to a " conscious you. We think the intentions cause the actions, and we get the feeling we have willed what we do. The hard problem is hard because no explanation of brain processes will explain subjective experiences- Why does the law of gravity hold? Why would the brain ascribe intension to only some of its actions? I truly believe that we do have our own unique energy myself but I can't prove it....just my opinion..
