Moles views are silly .I Think all life has a spirit t and I think there is a connection with DMT.
I must have missed his/her comment, it's likely that the viewpoint of some individuals will be thought off kilter to others but variety is the spice of life.
Though I very rarely agree with Mole's opinions, I still respect the opinion & put it in deep storage rather than outright dismissing it as merely being silly.
I'd agree that all life having a life sustaining substance pumping through it's body is extremely likely to have a spirit.
As far as souls are concerned, it's my opinion that after the combined egg/sperm meld together, a DNA blueprint for new being is produced & a soul is present immediately prior to the instant cell division begins.
The new body to be built requites the spark of life (the soul, created by sperm fertilizing an egg) to enable DNA's 3-dimensional digital coding to establish biological software that begins cell division according to the DNA blueprint.
I highly doubt there's no spark of life, no soul until X number of weeks, because were that the case then how is the blueprint of new life established & how does cellular division begin to occur.
I'm not referring to a soul as a heavenly sent entity that angels guide into an embryo or newborn fetus, I've no opinion as to religious viewpoints.
IMHO the soul is the spark of life that's created by the mixing of parental donor DNA. The instant their combined DNA is organized into a new 3-dimensional digital code & results in biological software beginning cellular division, the soul is complete & exists.
If people are concerned regarding the ramifications of "the soul" being tied to religion then maybe it's best to coin a new term for the biological spark that occurs when a new life begins.
