And if we have a "soul" what about other animals, or even insects and bacteria? And when in our evolution did we gain them? What are they made of? Where do they go? -- if to another body, then by what mechanism? If to some spirit world, then where is that? And if we can exist happily as spirits then why would we bother with living in these incredibly complex bodies that took billions of years to evolve to where they are now but still can go wrong so easily?

This is based on the assumption that all is centered around biological life. I used to think the same way, but I don't agree anymore. Instead, I believe more and more in all this being a projection. A thought that you will encounter time and again as a "holographic universe". Incidentally, I just recently bought a book by that title, but haven't yet had a chance to look inside. Still other books coming before that.
Anyway, what I am getting at is that our souls don't "go" anywhere, because they are not in us. They project our physical reality, and when this earthly existence ends, it is similar to when we die in our dreams - we wake up to fully realize who we are.
So the soul doesn't need to go anywhere, because it is always there. I feel psychics simply have a direct connection, as if a character from out of your dreams could really talk to you and thus get guidance on how to proceed in the dream.
From where I stand, death is nothing to be afraid of, but nobody can make you feel the same way I do.
As to the "why do we go and live here when we're all happy somewhere else" - why do we daydream? Why do we picture ourselves living fantastic adventures in our imaginations? Why do we create and watch movies?
Because we wonder what it would be like, and we enjoy acting it out, or living it inside our dreams. Because it is fun. Because we learn from it, even as we know that we are the creator.
