You are so wrong it's incredible. Trusting one's own experiences is the least-accurate way to know something. It is the antithesis of science. Our perceptions are so flawed it's not even funny. That's why science dictates multiple independent observers, or at least consistently-repeatable experiments. You are apparently espousing the "if someone somewhere says something happened, then it happened" school of learning, which is ridiculous. I guess all the people with mental illness that makes them see and hear things which aren't there are actually seeing and hearing real things. Because that's what your logic dictates. And clearly that's not right.
Thank you for illustrating your irrational thought processes so well. I now know it's pointless trying to have a rational discussion with you, as logic doesn't mean squat, apparently.

No. It's the logical vs. the illogical, leaps of faith vs. objectivity. Don't try to spin it any other way, as that is clearly not the case.

Really? You don't know about any of the studies involving the electrochemical activity of the brain during different human experiences? Such as memory recollection, thought, emotions, reactions, etc.?
So far there is not one aspect of the 'soul' that hasn't been explained away by examination of the working of the brain. Not a single one.

Really? You don't know about that? Just read the wikipedia article on it, as that will have a whole host of new information for you.
And yes, the 'soul' is just a short way of saying 'the pathways of neurons in our brains and the messages passed over them'. Just as with every tangible thing else described in the Bible, we can now know what it is, and not have to settle for these half-assed pseudomystical explanations that try to put what is a basic function of the human brain on some untouchable pedestal of supernatural, otherworldly, perpetual mystery. It's good to learn.

Yeah, the sensory information travels across the nerves, through defined pathways. That's how the brain works. Memory is just one aspect of brain function, all using the same equipment. Similar to an analogue computer, but organised in a completely different fashion.
If you can't even be bothered to learn some basic biology before leaping into the realm of the fanciful, that's not my problem. Be my guest.

"immaterial energy",
better laugh at that before asking you :
what exactly is material energy ?
