Thinking about things like the existance/substance of consciousness (which can be considered in the same regard as a soul) makes me slow down and not get things done. Just like "what happened before the big bang?"
My view is that thsoe things do not affect my life now, so why worry about them. There will always be another question whenever one of those deep questions finds a partial answer. Even things like string theory. Who cares if it is how things actually are if the results/equations work out and we can't prove the stuff beyond that?
I feel that for those big questions it is just easier to say "An eternal God created the universe at this point and this is how it has evolved over time." Much simpler than spending one's life searching for a scientific answer that might never come and which is not of any practical use.
That is why I like engineering. Applying math and science to the real world.
Oh, and I like freewill, too.
