hat the human body and brain is necessary for cognitive function is understood. The soul could not develop without a body. However, the body without a soul is dead, whereas a brain damaged body is still not dead and could be conceivably fixed if we had the technology. Essentially, life is still a mystery.

Cognitive scientists are sneaky alright. They do all that throwing up of the hands and groaning "darn, we need a soul to account for that." when we aren't watching.
