"Any description of a soul, in terms of any faith, cannot be dealt with adequately by the scientific method."

No of course. Souls lie beyond the reach of science so science has no business denying their existence.

But science - or rationality - does get a small handle on the question of the existence of souls when it asks a believer the simple question - so when in the evolution of man from "animals" did man first gain a soul? If the answer makes you giggle, because it implies the first possessors of souls had parents who didn't have souls, the rationalist can claim that his guess looks rather more sensible than the guesses of the faithful.
