His own words were quite clear.  In response to Kuhn's question, Moreland believes that single and multi-cellular organisms have an immaterial aspect to them.  It's borderline animism.

Paraphrasing, he said that any life that is greater than the sum of its parts has a least a rudimentary soul. He was also quite clear that he thought only humans have an immortal soul--existing on past the death of its body (so the title of this thread is nothing but made up, unhinged hatred for people you are just not equipped to understand).
