Free will compared to the physical world, or free will compared to your physical body. It's the conciousness part that is biggest 'evidence' of a soul to me. At least there's a spark of free will or force that is untied to the neuronal network.
I can't see a comp get what we call a mind or conciousness, even if it's designed as an electrical network and has access to lots of outside stimuli input sources (like hearing, sight, smell etc). I feel it hard to imagine a comp having emotions for example. How does a comp feel pain or joy or anger like living organisms do? I have a hard time imagining that.
