I ask five questions for Christians.
1) Do you think aliens exist?
2) If they did, what would you think about them based on your beliefs? I didn't ask this in the video, but... Would the aliens have souls, and would we have moral obligations to them?
3) Which identical twin gets the soul?
4)In Chimeric children, what happens with the dual souls? Are the ultimate fates of both souls determined by the one individual?
5) In split brain patients, where two belief systems correspond to a single soul, what happens with the soul? Which half of the brain gets to decide the fate of the soul?
In retrospect, I might have been able to ask some of these to Muslims as well, except that Muslims differ in their belief of when the soul enters the body. Nevertheless, I hope some Muslims would answer the applicable questions as well.
I believe there are two Planes of Existence here in the physical universe where we are the meat people you see with your eyes and a spiritual universe where we are souls, the two exist together as 1. Our soul needs this simple earthly life to grow inside our bodies, people can damage their souls by corruption here in the physical world. When we die we should have a strong and clean soul to live beyond death.

1: if you see then you may believe
2: dependant on what type of life form they were
3: each identical twin looks out of their own eyes so each has a soul.
4: no dual souls, souls are not dependant on flesh and blood
5: the soul is not in the brain, but uses it as a receptor.

So as for identical twins. I believe God KNOWS that the singular organism will become two organisms so he already has souls prepared.

I actually believe that God knows exactly who is going to live on earth and eho isnt. Therefore I believe that our souls were pre-planned. God isn't the 'last minute' type. He plans ahead.

Just because a planet cam support life doesn't mean there is any. That's like expecting a drink just because you see a glass. Maybe God put those life supporting planets there for us to explore one day. Or maybe its something for us to do in the afterlife. First thing I'M gonna do is go ice skating on Pluto.

Wether you go to heaven or hell isn't decided until they day you die. You can literally switch beliefs on your death bed that will change your destination. God is loves unconditionally therefore he forgives all sins if we ask him to.

Question 3: The catholic teachings about souls really has a problem doesn't it.. Not surprised i was once a catholic. But i read the bible and renounced that religion.

Question 2: Alien forms if they exist could be in any form. The bible only states that We (human beings) where made in Gods image. So once again the bible does not confirm nor deny that other intelligent life forms exists nor does it state what form they come in.

I believe God created the universe so i qualify to have a go as your questions. I do not see any biblical support for the soul entering into the body at the moment of conception. And Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin. People can deny the existence of the Holy Spirit but then later believe and be safely saved. Question 1. There is no biblical statements either confirming or denying the existence of other intelligent life in the universe. So there may be.
