If not, why not?

If so, why did God wipe them out? angel grin

Maybe the Devil conned them out of all of their souls.

In the future do you think the EU and Russian space agencies will let the USA buy a small corner of their crafts for some experiments?

The entire premise of a soul is about eternal life so the idea that they were wiped out doesn't make much sense if they have a soul. If they don't have a soul then who cares?

Animals have souls so why shouldn't primitive primates?

All living creatures have a soul.



My fundamentalist Christian sister gets very angry when I say that. She believes only mankind has a soul.

Hogwash. If there is such a thing as souls then all creatures have one.

Neanderthals were one of 3 possible prototypes for the final production model.

In the end our alien overlords went with homo sapiens which were further refined into homo sapiens sapiens.

And since anyone who says humans have souls is basically making it up as they go, you should be able to invent your our soul-having cases, too, Badger.

I would also state that video game characters, mecahnical devices that repair easily, and cutting edge scientific instruments should also have souls, just because they make life worth living.

My opinion of souls is pretty much the same as my opinion of religion.

I do not think it's possible to know the truth. If you are a good person that should be enough for you, and if there is an afterlife for that too. By respecting all living things I respect them as if they have a soul. If they don't I'm still a better person for it. If they do I'll still get into heaven since my respect for living creatures outweighs all my "I promise not to finish in your mouth Miss" lies.

I can't believe whatever I want, it's a vocational restriction. laugh

I'm just letting Badger know that his position is just as valid as any religious one since they are all fabricated in the first place.

Letting people believe whatever they want allows nutjobs to justify anything they want and allows them to recruit new nutjobs to do their bidding. If nobody calls anyone on it, pretty soon you have lots of death and destruction. Probably better just to call them on it at the start, don't you think?

Or you could get more of these guys:

I have no clue wink but if animals do have souls i look forward to seeing all my beloved pets someday. Some people say yes..our pets will be in heaven, others no. I don't think it's worth arguing about, but i really hope so. I would get to see my horse again!

You question is impossible. Everyone knows the earth is only 6,000 years old and that Neanderthals never really exists. Neither did dinosaurs. Those bones are just lucky rock formations that just happen to fit together or something.
