When answering the question, please could you add the effect or use of having a soul as I 'believe' (shudder) that the way we see the soul working has some impact on the way we see its' existance.

Coffee House maybe?

Your soul is simply your entire being.

So your soul includes your hair and teeth?

Re: I second that.

I conclude that it is not.

On what basis do you draw your conclusion?

Catholic Scientist writes:

So we got this brain that has no nerves attached to a system of nerves that the brain is constantly recieving input from. The brain 'feels' the seperation from the body that makes people think that they are something other than their body (brain included). But this is a self delusion resulting from the constant nervous input to the brain with no input from the brain.

This is not quite true, the brain is (in part) an arrangement of specialized nerve cells. It has no afferant or efferant nerve cells. It has none of these because there is no need for them in organisms. They would just take up space.

The brain and the spinal cord (CNS) are what gives meaning to the data from the affernt nerve cells and are the origen of the signals transmitted by the efferant nerve cells. So there is out put from the brain.
