I must disagree that the original site proves the existance of a soul. The way in which systems of organisms interact is incredible, and the more complex the organisim becomes, the more delicate the balance becomes between each of the systems. Perhaps the 'sensations and emotions' that seem to be expressed by some organisms (like humans) is correlated with the interactions of the nervous system and a seemingly endless array of stimuli. As far as we know, humans have a relativly complex body and intricate nervous system. Our brain is relativly developed, and not exactly like any other organism. These emotions etc. that we experiance could be nothing but a series of chemical/biological reactions that affect the entire system.
I do not see how animals are just "biological robot(s), feeling nothing at all," or how humans are superior to the rest of the animal kingdom, as there are many animals that too, have relativly complex and developed (nervous) systems. Any animal may become frieghtened from a sudden sound or movemnet; we humans become scared, and we may scream or hide, but most definitly addrenilane (sorry for the spelling errors) is released in prepatation for fight or flight. The same is true for horses and even rats.
Certain animals are gregarious, and when secluded for long eriods of time, become nervous, depressed, or a number of other emotions. This can be seen in humans (childeren and/or lonely introverted people especially), horses (they may develop a habit of chewing on things when left a lone for long bperiods of time), and dogs. I'm sure those who have pets (esp. dogs) have at some point in time needed to leave for an extended period of time. My own dog chews the fur off of her forelegs when she's left in a Kennel for a week or so.
From what i have gathered of previous statements, if there are emotions and senstations etc, then there is a consiousness, therefore there is a soul, and the existance of a soul undoubtedly means the existance of a god. I do not see the nessecary connection between the consiousness and a soul, and i do not see how science can conclude that there is a soul, and that the things we experience as we do and not similarly experianced by other living organisms.
it is entirly possible that i have completly lost myself somewhere in here, so some sort of constructive responce would be appreciated.
