You mentioned that the existence of a soul is obvious. I'm asking what makes that obvious. Perhaps my question was confusing, but when someone declares that the existence of something is obvious, I cannot imagine it would be difficult to pass that along so that it is obvious to others.
Fair enough. Again, two people looking at the same thing and coming to different conclusions?
To me it is obvious in that the soul that contains the conscience is displayed in babies. It will never be “verifiable” scientifically because we will never be able to “view” the soul and conscience. .
Maybe I should have said “obvious to me”?
What about puppies. They have a brain. They develop personalities as they grow. What is it about puppies that don't have a soul compared to baby humans that show that difference? I don't know. I've always been told that God didn't see fit to give souls to animals. So there must be a difference and some way to gauge it.
Here, I can only refer to it in reference to my position as a believer in Jesus Christ and the scripture therein.
Yes, puppies have souls along with other created creatures. (Whether parameciums have souls or not, I have no idea
)
What differentiates animals from human beings is that man has a spirit made in His image and in His likeness.
