you were the one to bring up soul in reply

Well reading it I’m not seeing any real studies or math or anything, just back and forth with people saying “Well it looks like we can’t find a soul anywhere, therefore without any real evidence consciousness is just an illusion and we as people don’t really exist, just sort of… believing we do because of brain juices.”

It quotes plenty of studies that have data. This is an aggregate analysis of a lot of prior work. It's hard for me to take your comment seriously when you ignore this.
What I actually pointed out was that you've demonstrated lack of understanding of what science is in your comment. I even explained specifically what the nature of your misunderstanding was.

I no longer see any reason to respond to this discussion.

At least you know when to stop digging.
