This difference seems purely semantic to me; whether there is an entity we can call "soul", or the brain is what fundamentally drives us, our consciousness is still what it is, and our experience does not change from this distinction.
Now, if you are looking at it from the perspective of the potential afterlife existence, then it is a different question no one has an answer to.

What do you mean by the 'constraints of time'? As is well documented by Brian Greene, the difference between past, present and future is an illusion. This helpful video proves it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idsw99SSwKc

Any one of us believes in many myths which our irrational brain interprets as objective truth. For example, if someone you trust tells you that they went to McDonalds earlier, then, despite you having zero evidence of that happening, you will likely not even think of questioning it. Granted, you could logically justify it by saying that you do not remember them ever lying to you, hence it is statistically likely that this time they are not lying either - but you still lack hard evidence of it.
But, of course, there is a difference between believing in a myth as a result of basic statistical analysis, and believing in a myth just because someone made some random claim with no serious attempt to back it up.
