In Islam, we believe any living thing has a soul, this includes animals and plants. And they have rights too. \n\nI don't think they have a Day of Judgement as they were not born with a logical mind the way human beings are. They don't have the mental ability to differentiate what is right and wrong. Therefore I believe animals go to heaven :)

a ghost is only an image, i dont believe they are the souls of dead people, i believe they are sometimes made to look like people who have once been here, or even are spirits that used to remain in/on people when they were here. Ok i'm just gonna be blunt. ghosts are spirits of this world aka demons. there are only two spiritual powers here on earth and they are good and bad. the only way i know how to tell the difference is by reading the bible.Ghost exist? No. Everyday spiritual warfare? Yes. It is a very complicated and detailed subject. If you are serious about wanting to know more or are expiriencing some mystical sightings i would love to talk with you. Get at me dwalker4293@charter.net

Yes. Plants and animals have a soul. Why would humans be the only ones with a soul.\n\nGuess vegetarians are also commiting murder! \n"SAVE THE PLANTS"

Yes, I do. I believe people have souls. Life is too beautiful for everything to just be scientific. Besides, Quantum Physics states that mind is matter, so what you think to be true, is.\n\nTo Getta: Pick up a Biology Textbook. Humans are animals.

I woul say no "God" exists, nothing which "Rules" us or "Owns" us.\n\nWe do not have to obey any other beings but ourselves, do other animals have "Gods", do they build shrines? Are they nice to the environment and dont kill other animals?\n\nNo is the answer\n\nOk we take it a bit too far, manufacturing animals, growing them for food. But like animals we live on a planet that has gone through billions of years evolution, we was not "placed" here we evolved from the very animals around us. We are unique to our planet, but are we unique to our galaxy?\n\nI think not.\n\nThanks for stimulationg me... I like these descussions, and please i hope i didnt offend anyone who beleives in a "God" etc. Its really up to you, good day :)

No, God has put animals under the dominion of man. However it talks about dealing with them kindly. That would include if we killed them for food, for example, to do it in a humane way, and not to promote their suffering. (I know I'm gonna hear from vegetarians on that one, but I stand by it.)

We need to distinguish between Mind and Soul.  The mind is indeed a function of the brain, and the Soul is mostly indistinguishable from it while the brain is functioning.  We therefore leave open the question of whether the Soul is something quite apart, which can exist without the physical "housing" of the brain.  I personally think it is something different, and does exist apart from any physical structure, but my reasons are all spiritual/religious, and not in the least scientific.  The most scientific analogy is an idea or a concept, perhaps an archetype.  They clearly exist outside of any physical structure, and I believe the soul does, too.  My real question is whether it is an individual soul, and therefore there are billions of them, or whether we share souls at a higher dimension/level than we normally perceive.  The jury is still out on that one.

I believe in ghosts, but I'm not convinced that they are the souls of deceased people.  There are way too many other possibilities out there.\n\nJaime

A soul is an intangible, spiritual being.  I too believe that our pets have souls, but how can a soul weigh something if it is your deepest emotions and values?

I am LDS as well. First, soul, for us, usually refers to the united entity of both body and spirit. Since we believe that all living things were created spiritually before they were created physically, we therefore believe that all living things  have "souls. " (Doctrine and Covenants 72:2)\nWe also believe that, during Christ's millenial reign, we will live in peace with the animals (Isa. 11:6-9). Since animals are subject to mortal death and fulfil the measure of their creation, we also believe that they will be in heaven by the grace of Christ's atonement for all living beings. Hence, many prophets have spoken out against killing for sport or abusing animals in any manner.  Despite this, we also believe that meat was given to us for our sustinance (Gen 9:3) but that it should be used sparingly (D & C 89:12). President Joseph F. Smith said, "I do not believe any man should kill animals or birds unless he needs them for food, and then he should not kill innocent little birds that are not intended for food for man. I think it is wicked for men to thirst in their souls to kill almost everything which possesses animal life. It is wrong."\nThat said, we are not anti-hunting. I fish, spearfish, and hunt lobster regularly. I do not waste anything that I legally catch. While I could go to the store, my family and I prefer fresh sea food with all those rich omega three fatty acids!

They say animals dont got no soul but theyre conscious aint they? Its kind of separated, the study of science and religion I mean. So the soul is in religion and the consciousness is in science. I guess its coz you cant really study the soul scientifically, its up to you to believe in it and most people do. It is almost a fact that we have souls right?

Hmm, good question. I believe they have feelings, but not a soul. I think it's because the Bible doesn't say that they have one otherwise. i think they were created to remind us of God's unconditional love for us.

I have not, and dread the day it happens for I am sure it will be one of, if not the saddest day of my life.  Do not listen to answers that say the soul does not exist.  If you believe in the soul, and that it exists, than it does.  That is your belief.  I am sorry for your loss, and hope that with time, the pain will ease.  peace and love

As far as anyone can tell, there is no such thing as a soul.  When you die, you cease to exist.  End of story.\n\nADDENDUM:  To anyone who answers this question from the perspective that souls exist, you ought to justify your assertions with verifiable evidence or valid argument, not just make unsupported claims, otherwise your response is essentially worthless.  Oh, and quoting from the Bible or the Qur'an constitutes neither evidence nor argument...  :-)\n\nIt is a fundamental principle of rational thought that if you claim something exists, and you want people to believe you, then the onus is on you to provide argument or evidence to support your claim, not on other people to refute it.  The default position is non-belief, in other words.

Never, Only God can create soul, humans can't and won't. we don't understand what it is. We create AI and we did as a matter of fact, but their will be always limitaions. for we can't give the machines or computers "free will" or consciousness. so cheer up mate, they won't control you!
