Proof That a Soul Exists

There is no knock-out proof that we have something within us that is distinct from the biochemical and electrical impulses within our brain. However, two facts possibly explain the persistence in the belief that there is a soul. (1). Given that existence is energy, the energy that makes our thoughts and personality must exist separate from our body when our body ceases to exist with the closed system that is life; and (2). the universal belief, wish, or hope among almost all cultures and through time that a soul does exist.
