Unless you think someone without a brain but with a soul would be capable of physical cognition; there is no contradiction in believing in a physical intelligence that is absolutely distinct from the soul.
You are incoherent, and apparently unable to answer my simple questions.
What do you think the soul is composed of?
If someones physical Brain is damaged, is their soul damaged?
Does someone with greater physical cognition have a larger soul?
Your questions are irrelevant but I'll answer them to humor you.
1. I don't know.
2. No.
3. No.
I am not the one claiming that there is nothing about the human brain that cannot be immediately explained by naturalistic science, that was you. If there is any interaction between a person's soul and their brain it wouldn't be explained by naturalistic science.

No. I have a soul given to me by God. That is the “driver” that directs the machine.
Notice that I said that a “physical consciousness” necessitates a physical brain. I have faith that there is also a spiritual consciousness that is immortal and separate. The brain damaged may have trouble with consciousness, creativity, compassion, etc here on Earth; but the soul would not be impaired because it is immortal and separate and distinct from the physical brain.
And my argument was not just about brain activity, but all the elements that make the human brain a superior machine to less elaborate brains, a high performance machine that consumes significant resources in comparison to many other less cerebral animals.
How can the soul be the driver if every aspect of the brain can be explained with naturalistic science? I don't understand how you can reconcile your two religions.
What part feature or capability of the brain do you think that mystical or magical or spiritual forces need to be invoked to explain?
Our brains are wondrous machines, but they are mechanical in nature, and like any machine, some perform better than others, and all eventually break down.
No aspect of the soul could be explained or described by science. The soul is not of this world, where all things are as dust.
