For those that believe in evolution and a god, may I ask, at what point in human evolution did humans acquire a soul? Did Lucy (australopithecus) have one? This is our ancestor---did she have a soul? Were our ancestors souless? Lucy really was just an ape. Did humans evolve from souless creatures?
Define soul.
I mean, there are different understandings of soul, some that tend to confuse or blend it with spirit.
Psac Why don't YOU define soul? I mean, there are different understandings of soul, some that tend to confuse and blend it w spirit.

Well, I dodn't bring up soul or spirit, that I why I asked NC to define her understanding of soul.
In its simplest form and in most practical terms, a soul is a living being.
I'm 100% meat as well, but would require a substantial amount of butter, shallots, and red wine to be at all palatable.
I worry about you guys being 100% meat, WTF is holding you guys up and keeping you from being nothing more than hamburger ??
Bones, gentlemen, BONES !!
I never understood why people are so anthropocentric and stingy with souls.
Why cant everyone have one.
Bible states that all living creatures have a soul, so.
Yes.
Okay. So there is nobody on this board that believes the traditional view that humans have a soul, something separate from themselves, but that resides within them, and lives on after death?

Sure, but Ithink it isn't as easy as that.
Typically a Christian beleives that there is life after death in Heaven AND life after life after death in the resurrection ( though it may not be expresse din the way I said it). What survives death is the soul and/or spirit because Christian tend to, well, "fuse" the two even though in scripture that is not ALWAYS done ( but is done sometimes).
In short, we believe in life after death and after that, a resurrection of the body for a life after that life in heaven.
