And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don't believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don't se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called "soul" would be any more then something our brain is making up.

It hasn't answered it because it simply isn't within the scope of science to be able to answer it. As has been pointed out elsewhere, you can't point to any peer reviewed papers listing the evidence against a soul.

At best you can play the "no evidence" card, which underlines my point that science cannot prove/disprove it because it's out of scope.
