What's the problem with having a well-stocked vocabulary? You prefer people having a lower level of language and not use more advanced terms?im not even saying there is any explanation im just laughing at the way you speak.
"furthermore" oh my GOD.
look at this next you'll say "per se" i bet thats in your vocab.
You wouldn't laugh at other's lingo so why do you have a problem when someone is speaking English correctly?
I am unaware if English is your native tongue but I'm currently making some efforts conversing in a foreign language.
You should try elevating your own language instead of punching down people for using terms you are unfamiliar with, that would be much better for you and the others.

We exist in the same way animals, vegetal and fungi are existing on this planet.You don't need scientific evidences to know the existence of yourself.
Now if you want to argue that those have a soul as well it's up to debate but the lack of actual empirical research (since it's currently not possible to see the soul itself) makes it harder to do the scientific method.
We could also say that existence in itself could be debatable but this would be more on the domain of philosophy than purely science.
Consciousness and the presence of a soul aren't mutually exclusive. We could argue that at least one has a presence in the brain (as far as the definition of consciousness goes) which is still not entirely understood. The other is more of a metaphorical concept seen in religions and other cultural beliefs. As I said before it's not scientifically backed up.What about consciousness? The general consensus seems to assume that one's consciousness will automatically transfer over into data but I'm not convinced it's that simple.
For context, consider sleep-talking; it's something I have a history of doing when I'm stressed. I've held conversations with people that I have no memory of because while I could recognize the person and understand context of the conversation enough to respond in a sensible way, I was asleep the whole time. Unconscious. It's like my mind is perfectly capable of running on autopilot without me. In other words, my consciousness isn't necessary for my mind to carry out tasks I used to think I needed to there for.
Is scanning the brain and converting it into data enough to ensure that one's consciousness follows? How do we know if the end result isn't just a robot body with a mind running on autopilot? The lights are on but no one is home.
There's also the subconscious which could be the explanation about sleep talking but then again dreams aren't entirely understood.
