Dualism is simply another form of mysticism. Its the same old
premise: we don't understand something, therefore there must 
be a paranormal phenomena at work. 

I take the historical perspective: this argument has failed in 
so many contexts, as science one by one develops the understanding, 
that we should expect this sort of argument to fail again.

The 'soul'  has hopped from organ to organ, as each organs
function has been elucidated. It used to reside in the heart, 
and at another point, the kidney, and its come to its final resting
place in the brain. The brain is harder to unravel than than the heart or 
kidney, but folks are making steady progress, and I'm sure we'll 
live to see it exorcised from the brain as well.
