There's never been any evidence for a soul. Period.
     If, in inventing the soul, people happened to guess correctly, then big deal.
     I could guess that all christians are actually homosexuals. I wouldn't have any evidence to support that, but I could make that guess. And if I happened to guess correctly, then big deal.
     I could state as fact, based only on my guess, that all christians are homosexuals. Why not? Christians state as fact, based only on a guess, that all people have souls. There's no difference at all.
     If christians happen to be soulful homosexuals, then everyone wins. But, basing everything on nothing more than a guess, stating these things as fact would be the act of a fool.
