God or Monkeys?

I was just thinking about the issue of science and spirituality... Personally, I'm of two minds on the whole issue. On one hand, the scientific-minded side of me finds it intuitively pleasing that capturing the entirety of someone's being should be possible via physical means, e.g., by identifying the entire quantum state of a person. I'm also curious as to the possibility that there are yet undiscovered facets of our physical world that may affect our being. For instance, as you may have read, string theory in physics suggests that there are 9 or 10 dimensions, rather than just the 4 we perceive in our everyday life. Could there possibly be some information about our reality tucked away in these (yet unproven) extra dimensions? On the other hand, as a Catholic, I believe that theres a certain je ne sais quois that eludes physical description. After all, if we as Christians believe that this body is just a wrapper of sorts and that we'll be reborn into new, glorified bodies....then the sould really conveys all the relevant information about "me," however one defines that.If i lose a limb (God Forbid), my quantum state has drastically changed, even so far as to affect how my brain processes information, I'd still say im the same person at my core, so there has to be a limit to which our physical incarnation defines us.
