i'm not saying that all inexplained qualities are due to "soul"

It's an empty placeholder for an explanation. Science at least provides a partial explanation of the unknown by describing the boundaries of what we know. If you say the soul is whatever human qualities haven't yet been discovered by science, then the soul theory is falsified every time a scientific discovery about humanity is made.
I'm just saying a soul is an explanation, if an unprovable one (as things stand). Think of it less as a "scientific theory" and more of a "philosophic idea"

Do you think there's some kind of spiritual substance in the universe?

On a gut level, I think all substance is teleologically tied to one or more kinds of consciousness.

aaah but who says we can percieve all there is to percieve in relation to our persons?

But merely positing a soul (as a spiritual substance) doesn't actually explain anything.

I think there is definitely a spiritual force that underlies the unity of all things

Not the way I'd put it, as jh notes, but unquestionably.

The material universe precludes a purely natural cause.

That makes it more complex, but I agree the same basic problem persists.
