If souls exist in this game, what do they do? What functions does not having a soul prohibit, and what function that we think are done by the brain are actually done by the soul? In addition, how does the soul interact with reality, and how can it be observed? If I created a perfect copy of a living brain and put it in a perfect copy of the corresponding body, what would be the result? What is the soul made of? Do souls significantly vary? Where are they stored in the body, or where are they physically when attached to a thing?

 Kind of like energy or matter, which can't be created or destroyed?

As a side note, matter is destroyed and created all the time. Pair production produces it, and matter/antimatter annihilation destroys it. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it is constantly being tied up as more entropy, so that sucks.

Speaking of pair production, how hard would it be for a deity to make some antimatter? I would figure if we can make a skyscraper in an hour or two, we could make a pile of protons with their chirality swapped over without too much difficulty, if we really wanted to fuck everything up. Even excepting antimatter, though, I know you say we can create an explosion, but it seems like it would be much more time-efficient to just make a skyscraper of tnt, or your regional equivalent, and light a match.
