I don't actually know how many living things have a soul. I believe that humans past some age do have a soul, but I suspect that there are other living things as well that have souls or spirits. Again, that falls into #3 -- God's business. There is some recorded evidence of worship from these other living things in the bible as well. One of my favorites is "the mountains and the hills shall break forth into singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands" (2nd Isaiah). There are so many Earth-focused peoples that believe that other living things possess souls and spiritual energies that I suspect there may be something to it. I don't have a great inclination to follow down that path, but I also have no inclination to look down at them or ridicule their beliefs. - Kris www.shamrocktrails.com, www.mcstyles.com, www.emryldlife.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
