Hi,
Perhaps yes. On a basic level, life on earth adapts and finds a way to survive but the question is: does 'all' life have soul, for instance plantlife .... do plants have souls?

1. I would like to have the definition of "soul"
2. If there is a soul, why would people exclude all other living things?
3. If only humans have souls, how do the others survive?
4. What is "life"?

No- Life is the soul. The body is just a vehicle for the soul. There is no life without the soul. We are the life; the body is dead matter. Anything living has a soul within it. The external thing is the body. Whether it be a fish, plant, animal, bird, insect, amoeba etc. Life comes from life. No one can create a soul; they are already created by God and are all eternal. Scientists can only put together what God has already created. He sends the soul to take birth. No man can make life.

That's centering on neo Buddhist subterfuge. Life hits of survival and reproduction or biological organisms. A soul necessary for life to survive is an overzealous conjuration..

I believe the soul purpose of life is for Spiritual Growth/Evolution so to me life couldnt be without the Soul.

Well, that's a pretty tall question considering the fact that we haven't been able to catch one of those pesky little things and take it into the laboratory for dissection. I guess my answer would be YES, life is sustainable without a soul, subject to change as scientific knowledge advances(catches one of those pesky devils) and proves its existence.

Good Question, BUT: I'm afraid, dwelling on "undecidable" semantics won't get us very far when it comes to Real Life. ... What happens to the soul when we lose consciousness or enter a vegetative coma? Does the soul interact with the spirit? Can a person be born without a spirit? Can a spirit be fundamentally defected? ......................... I'm sure you get the gist of the problem.

Soul is what differnetiates life from non living.
So I guess a life can not surviver without a soul.
Since if soul leaves or is absent the life will cease.

i guess it depends on whether or not there really is a soul. i mean if people prove that soul doesnt really exists then life can survive without one

How do you define a soul?
To the best of my knowledge, souls do not exist.
