Omg. Bastardsword or whatever, pinned the question right down for me. I've ALWAYS wondered if there is a soul based on the whole idea of mental illness. I saw the movie 28 days later (yeah im aware it's only a film...anyway) and thought, geez the infected priest in that does, in fact, now have one hell of an ugly soul, based not on supernatural influences, but something biological. If his soul were to leave his body upon death, would he have still been mad as a hatter? Or simply snapped out of it and gone "wow, my brain sure went through one hell of a wild experience, Im glad that i, as a 'soul' have left it behind".
If that were the case animals may just be smart "souls" trapped in bodies with rather unintelligent brains. You take out a human being's frontal lobe from their brain and their soul vanishes completely (i think anyway...not much of a medical practitioner to be honest). Your 'soul' IMO is really just controlled by the brain.
Completely off topic, i hate people who hold the idea that animals have no souls or feelings. When a deer hunter gets impaled by a deer during their so-called "sport" i reckon suck s***t.
Nothin to do with the end of the world but...well, religious fanatics tend to contradict themselves a lot. I believe in jesus, and that he was a remarkable person, but i dont believe he was nearly as narrow-minded as half the christian converters i've had to listen to.
