Today's Question....

I just got back from english class, where I had a convorsation with a few of the girls. The questions brought up were as follows:

-Do we (people) have a soul?
-What is a soul?
-what charactarises a soul?
-what is the purpose of a soul?
- (least importantly) what does a soul look like?


so, my question today is... If I do believe that humanity has a soul (which I do) how do I go about answering these questions in order to logically have an explanation for a soul, and things such as preminition, life after death, near death experiences, out of body experiences, etc.? And how do I do this all in a christian mannor? Or is everything that we attribute to a soul just biological, and mental occurances? how do you explain extreme Fear and Love?
