Q

Do humans have a soul?

A

Decartes said “I think therefore I am.”
This means that your conscience shows you have self awareness and therefore provides religious evidence for a soul.

Others would argue and say you don’t have a soul as you cannot see it or measure it. We can infer we have a soul as we would assume that there is fire from smoke.
