IA Here is a Serious Question.

the bible doesnt specifically point out if animals have souls. BUT the account of creation in genisis does not say God gave them a soul. also, in the bible no where does it state that animals have an after life or that they will face judgement. no where does it talk about animals recieving eternal life or damnation so i conclude as do many others that they have no soul. and QD in all fairness you did say..."Geoff, I'd love to see where, in the Bible you find that it says/interprets that animals have no soul, spirit, conscience or whatever".

and to zimabog...the bible only speaks about God breathing a soul or life into men. i personally dont believe relatives(primates) have souls because the bible doesnt say they will be judged and they cant worship. as far as other forms of life, the cat, cells, ect...i dont believe they have souls either. God gave us a soul and along with it the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. an animal or cells or bacteria or plants cant do that. they learn right and wrong cuz you beat an animal or yell at it for doing wrong and praise it for doing right. a dog does not feel remorse for biting someone or for stealing another dogs bone. a tree doesnt feel remorse for dropping leaves on your lawn and making you spend a full day to clean it up.

p.s. zimabog i loled about the carrot top thing. and yes he does have a soul too

But it also doesn't say they DON'T have souls either? So because it doesn't say so in the Bible, that means it isn't to be? So in order for anything to be so and just, it is required that it be in the Bible?

and QD in all fairness you did say..."Geoff, I'd love to see where, in the Bible you find that it says/interprets that animals have no soul, spirit, conscience or whatever".

"In all fairness?" Huh? You didn't show me anything. What do you mean by this comment? Later, QD.

oh so when we go to heaven, there are no cats, dogs, or turtles for us to keep as pets. If heaven was perfect I would at least love to have the beautiful aquarium I have been dreaming about.

Also I dont think I could exist eternally with out raspberries.

Isn't that exactly what your parents do when you are very young?
