Ah, but if we have not found a soul, due to inability to detect it, we don't know how it works.  The brain could very well be the interface, in which case damage to the brain would interfere with the expression of the soul.  It may be some part of the brain itself that we just never thought associated with such things before, of course.  The soul is a term that isn't very well defined; there are multiple interpretations with the primary thing in common being that it's supposed to be what makes us who we are.

As such, it is somewhat silly to discuss whether or not it exists, and I think it's far better to discuss the how of it if they do exist.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

What's soul? Could we equate it with personality? If so, it exist only in material world, because there are numerous cases of brain injury or lobotomy which resulted in a complete change of personality.

maybe a different soul took replaced the old one then got amnesia?
