Even chimps and dolphins "think, feel and will," and are animated and self-aware, for example.

If you can't observe a thing with any of your senses, why should you believe it exists? Because the bible tells you that you should believe in it? Try doing some reading on how the bible has come to us -- how it was actually written and about the parts that were left out. I suggest you read Carl Sagen's "Demon Haunted World" for help in understanding the world around you. You said, "It (possibly) can leave the body and last forever." Try re-reading that with an objective mind and see if it makes any sense. I suggest you believe in what you can measure in some way.
