'If you attempt to argue that personality is a product of the soul, and not of the brain, then consider this: if you jab a pencil into someone's frontal lobes, their personality changes.'

Yet more science-trite. How about someone is deprived of consciousness and only understands at the information processing level. How then does his personality change by jabbing his frontal lobe. Surely it is only his behaviour than can be said to change.

Also why do you talk about soul and brain as though seperate entities?
