> dhw: Sorry, my question obviously wasn't clear. I meant which organisms do you think have souls? I'll assume that “animals have souls” = cats, dogs, horses, but what about worms and bacteria? Where do you think the borderline starts between organisms with souls and organisms without?.....
 Once you establish your personal borderline between animals with and without souls, please tell me if you believe there are gradations of consciousness/soul complexity between, say, the chimpanzee and the duck?-Hadn't thought much about this, so you are helping me in developing a concept. Since I think the brain is a receiver for consciousness and is the interpreter of the soul, animals with brains have souls.-> dhw: Have faith, dear friend!-I do, in you, and in more than you.
