Who has a soul?

  1. Every organism (micro-organisms, trees, worms, bugs, fish, animals, humans)

  2. Not every organism - not trees and perhaps not bugs but definitely humans and animals

  3. Only humans and their evolutionary counterparts

  4. Only humans

  5. With or without a soul, it's an illusory designation that expires upon approaching the absolute

  6. I have no basis of conviction for such "souls", hence this thread topic bears no relevance to me

    I don't follow... so it doesn't matter how far-fetched the claim, if people say it is true then it is so? Evidence would still be missing... which is why your China analogy doesn't work.

    No - there is the epistemological question

    well its the same reason everything in the name of science is not accepted as science .... in other words knowledge is qualified by epistemology and not merely labels like "science" or "religion"

    LG... Have you ever seen the episode of Father Ted were the Bishop comes to vist, and when he asks them a question they have no answer for, they always say "That would be an ecumenical matter, Bishop Brennan".

    That reminds me of you and your 'epistemology'.

    If insist on seperating knowledge from epistemology there are many things that are simply unapproachable - I fail to see the connection between the words epistemology and ecumenical, except thatthey are probably both words you are unfamiliar with
