And yes, almost every living thing can count, and while I did not address your kitty cat example, I did address the same topic to futilethewinds. All animals have a soul. However, there are abilities that they lack that we have. Therefore, there is a unique human soul.
I don't understand. The human soul is what we ordinarily refer to as our mind, or our consciousness?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
