When do we cross the line from 'animal' to 'person?'

If the mind is not developed enough then it will be driven by instinct and therefore will end up in an animal body, if on the other hand it will be developed enough will end up into a human being body so according to me your analysis only deal with the physicality which in no way can answer where the mind or instinct come from.

Thinking

Bit of a monumental flaw in your logic here, which is that you haven't provided an answer to that question at all. See, unless you can actually demonstrate this soul thing, or the method you've described for what god does with it, then all you've done is make an assertion. Anyone can do that, it doesn't make a word of what you've said true. And this "beyond physical reality" stuff is just a cheat so you're not held accountable to standards of evidence, and unfortunately for you most of us here simply won't buy it.

Gotta love that "according to me," part though; I expect it would be much easier on you if you can dictate the terms of the entire argument beforehand, slanting them in your favor, but that's not how this works either.
