"everyone has a soul"

Everyone has the seven worms of Ancient Atlantis breeding invisibly within their bone marrow. Our "proofs" are equivalent and equally silly.

"Can we see it? No. Can we touch it? No. Is it something physical science can deal with directly? No"

Then what evidence do you have? You go on to mention "self evidence", but that is useless to me when talking about YOUR Purported soul, right? Your "self" is clearly not me.

But how about you? Can the soul "self-evidence" itself to YOU? How? What other senses do you have to verify an encounter with something you did not feel, touch, taste, hear, smell, or see? You may say you thought about it; but thought does not prove the actual existence of anything, does it?

If the soul is supernatural and immaterial, then what did you experience it with? Describe something you experienced that was immaterial and beyond sensual experience. That would surely be a fun encounter to listen to!
