Well, I have zero experience of anything for which I would want to use the word 'soul' (compounded by the fact that I don't know exactly what people mean when they use the word). I have no concept of soul or self that isn't simply the result of brain function. I exist, I make assumptions that others exist as I do. However, the questions I asked are because I have no idea what people are talking about when they make statements that seem to indicate that self precedes conception. It sounds, frankly, fanciful and without any basis at all. So, if you and others can answer those questions perhaps the use of the words will make sense to me. Care to answer them for yourself?
