If I was a scientists, I would be able to defend my notion that our RNA is our soul. It makes no sense to me at all that behavior traits can be genetic in the same way as our hair or skin or eye color, etc. is genetic because we can change our behavior traits at will in an instant but never our genetic appearance, for example. So if scientists say that behavior is genetic there is a big difference btween one kind of genetic and another kind.

Yet I agree that our behavior is not just learned but for the most part is incarnate upon us from our forefaters. If they are genetic (like the color of our eyes) we would not have a free will. If they are incarnate (via the soul or subconscious mind) they are not ours but ours to recollect and therefore infringe upon our free will, (our vice and virtues are not just learned behavior but towards which we are inclined to respond via recollections from the soul).

The short answer would be to say that in fact WE do not exist but our soul does. By we I mean our ego identity and by our soul I mean our true identity.
