what can a human being do that cannot be explained by our cells allowing us to do such things?

Think and act consciously, speak, use mathematics, etc.

And believe in religion.

Animals can't do any of these things, except perhaps the first. While this isn't definite proof for the existence of a "soul", it does show that we don't "know" very much at all regarding what makes up the human mind, and how it came to be created.

dont we have scientific theories for the first though? (I thought they were part of how our brains work?)

also, we ARE animals

Yes, we're animals, but we are clearly vastly superior to any other animal species in the world.

To such an extent that we worry about them. Do you see rabbits worrying about the financial crisis, or deer worrying about swine flu, or sharks worrying about global warming?
