Your "evidence" is based on the theory that the personality and soul are linked. What if that supposition is not correct, and personality and soul are not actually linked (scientific theories can be proven incorrect with new evidence, so can religious theories be incorrect in their basic assumption). It is sloppy science at best, inconclusive at the
very least.

Look up Phineas Gage. See also books written by Antonio Damasio or enjoy Oliver Sacks' book: The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat and Other Clinical Tales.
If souls do what we are, then why is it possible for our personalities to so completely change when our brains are altered? It makes more sense if brains do what we are.
Here's Antonio Damasio on TED:
