Skeptics of the soul cite phenomena such as [[brain lesion]]s (as in the case of [[Broca's aphasia]]) and [[Alzheimer's disease]] as evidence that personality is material, and furthermore, exists in discrete components, contrary to the philosophy of an immortal, unified soul.

----
The [[human]] [[personality]] is identified with [[mind]] and [[spirit]] held together in functional relationship by life in a [[material]] body. This functioning relationship of such mind and spirit does not result in some combination of the qualities or attributes of mind and spirit but rather in an entirely new, original, and unique [[universe]] [[value]] of potentially [[eternal]] endurance, the '''soul'''.[http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper111.html#2.%20NATURE%20OF%20THE%20SOUL]
