dhw:If, as you believe, animals have souls, the soul and consciousness are one and the same, and the brain is a receiver of consciousness, is it not reasonable to conclude that animals will have the same soul-to-brain problem-solving mechanism as humans?-We're back to the debate over degree or kind. You know my position. Animals have some problem solving ability. Ours is enormous. Analogy: Model T ford vs. Rolls Royce. Both are autos. That is, we come with an animal body but the brain is so far superior as to be different in kind. We've settled our positions before. I see nothing new.
