Michael Augros:
Should the trait of immortality be encoded somewhere in your genome? Of course not. Yet such are the tools and terms of biology. And they are quite excellent for their purposes, too. Only, they don’t function very well as detectors of immortality, or finders of souls, whether such things exist or not. To the degree that biology restricts itself to terminology that is fully reducible to that of chemistry and physics, of course its methods will be inept for determining whether you have a soul and what its nature might be.
