Ross has a right to his belief as do we all.
For me, in my life I've had holes in the soles of my shoes and I've bought shoes in Seoul. It's a wonderful life so why question someone else's thoughts?

Does Ross have a soul? Of course he does! We all do. Your soul is the real you that lives inside of your body. It is the essence of life itself, without which, you'd just be a pile of bones, organs and skin.
Think about it this way:
- the body is a hardware;
- the soul is a software runing on this hardware.
It's a pity there's no external storage for software backups though. :(
Very good analogy John.
When the existing hardware wares out the software migrates to a different type of hardware in another reality. Conservation of energy is the scientific explanation.
You handled that well...
(I don't really believe in a "deity" my-self either)...
I like your analogy but I prefer to think of it differently....
I would say the software would refer to the mind.....
Having access to a fact does not make a machine or person sentient for I think you will find your awareness present regardless of what the object of its attention is.
All we are is a pile of bones, organs and skin, and certain other scientifically proven matter and processes. Anything else is just an opinion, however fervent one's belief in that opinion. And a fervent belief in something isn't enough to make it fact.
And that is probably as much as should be said about this particular subject :)
Steve, if you are my imagination I'm in bigger trouble than I imagined. Errr, huh ? :confused:
Hmmm, if the soul is the software, I think I am long overdue for some patches. ;)
Like you have bugs or what? :D
