We've just discovered that most of the world is made of "dark" matter of unknown origin. Clearly, what we know is just a thin layer of reality. And even about this thin layer we know very little.

Yes there are clearly real magic questions like why are we, where are we etc but not if we have a soul

We can't even define what intelligence is, and soul is a much subtler matter.

The idea of a soul independent of our body is fantasy and not based on anything.

We know that you can't survive without a brain. We know that your personality changes if your brain gets damaged.

It's very far fetched to talk about soul as anything else than just fantasy.
