And do believe that I, this random guy on the internet has a soul

I personally don't believe that I anyone else has a soul. From my standup I don't se any reason to believe that our consciousness and our so called "soul" would be any more then something our brain is making up.

There was a woman who said during an alien abduction that she saw a glowing light taken out of the top of a dying man and put into a younger clone of himself. Where afterwards the old body died. So talking about this as if what she said did indeed happen:

If it's possible to transfer consciousnesses between bodies, the collection of electric energy in our body is our soul I guess, and the rest of us comes from the unique layout of our cells/nervous system which this electric energy runs along.
