Well, I aggree with you as far as we cannot emperically "prove" any of this. And you are totally right that it ultimately comes down to faith on the whole soul/spirit matter. However, i belive it was in this thread that someone stated faith is a decision made without reason. So i suppose i ask, if there is no emperical evidence of a soul, is it reasonable or rational to assume its existance? It would appear to me, that when trying to approch such a matter, it would be best to error on the side of caution to suggest that what we see and think we know of the brain's function is the source of consciousness. (if it sounds too aggressive, i mean it totally for the sake of discussion, and no offence hehehe)
