Look at it like this. A human is raised inside of a completely empty room his entire life. No contact with the outside world or other humans, ever. To this human being the world is this room. There is nothing more. He will never learn or understand there is a world outside of this room. Now apply this to us. We live on a planet, contained within this universe. Is there something else out there? A bigger world beyond our universe that we just don't have a means of understanding or even fathoming?
Look at animals. We don't consider them intelligent. You think human beings are the highest form of intelligent life in a universe that goes on for infinity? You have much to learn.
Does this have anything to do with a soul? No, not really. I'm just saying we don't know everything. And it's foolish to think to yourself you know exactly what happens to people when they die, because no one does.

Good points.
The very fact that we can not truly comprehend infinity says a lot also to validate the fact that the unknown is just that.
This week scientists came out with the theory that the Universe expanded from the size of a marble to 13 Billion miles in one trillionth of one trillionth seconds. That is simply mind boggling.
But it still brings you back to the chicken and the egg dilema. What came first? If the Universe at its birth was the size of a marble what was it existing within at that point? They say the Universe is now 13.7 Billion light years in size. Still you can't answer the question ok lets say it is that, then what is on the outside of the Universe?
Basically nothing computes when you start talking infinity. Same problem if you go in the other direction too. They say Quarks are so small they can't even be precisely measured. Yet to have a quark it still has to be composed of something else to exist. What is that something then?
Again your mind can not compute that either.
So if there is so much that is incomprehensible it leads us to the distinct propbability that there is a lot of stuff we aren't able to compute with our minds. Maybe dimensions within dimensions. Parallel dimensions. Anti-matter. Time displacements. Space warps. How about black holes?
Got to remember our eyes are extremely limited in what they can see. Its common knowledge that the electromagnetic spectrum is significantly larger and the visible light portion is just a fraction of it. Maybe there are conscious energy fields around us of people who have died in the physical sense but really only shed their physical body.
What about self awareness? How can that be explained without acknowledging that you have a soul, life force, etc. How can you think of your self without looking inward? If you are looking inward than it is from something outward. Where is the center of one's self? Close your eyes and ask that question. What are you seeing now? Its nothing but an energy force. And that in fact is what each of us really is.
