I'd tend to disagree as far as us being so far advanced because we have a soul. Eagles have much further advanced eyesight than us, but I wouldn't correlate that with eagles having souls. The same with dogs and their sense of smell. Our strength is the ability to reason and use language. That's what sets us apart from other animals.
thanks for the response, I found it very interesting and I agree with you about there being different levels of conciousness. Also the fact that conciousness seems to refuse to be defined. But I was curious as to what you thought about my idea of us being so advanced because of the soul? Compared to our primate cousins, even the higher ones, we have jumped leaps and bounds ahead of them and other species. so thats my only question for now. thanks.
