Do you think insects have souls?

Question

come on,

Answer 1

There is no such thing as a soul, so the answer would be NO.

Answer 2

The soul exists more in the mind than anywhere else. For bugs, I give a No.

Answer 3

Although they are part of creation, they do not have souls.

Answer 4

Man is the only life form on earth that has self-awareness. That is the scientific term for it. A soul is the Religious term for it. No matter what anyone calls it, only Humans have it. Therefore, the answer to your question is "no, insects do not have souls, nor self-awareness".

Happy New Year!

Whatever creation that is alive has a soul.

Answer 7

It's an useless question

Answer 8

no by definition they can not. Soul by definition only relates to humans.

If your asking if I think we are better,smarter or more important then insects. I have to say no. We are only different.
Just a small offering of proof. For as long as there have been humans, will kill wasps on site, destroy their nests, their offspring and food supply. Still they persist in living.

Answer 9

I hope not, as that means there will be insects in heaven. I don't like insects so maybe heaven is not all it is cracked up to be.

Answer 10

I do not know, but just think about this:

"Two years ago, when our old, much loved dog, Barney, quietly got up, drank some water, laid down and died, our younger dog, Boo, grieved for two weeks. Normally wanting to be at my side every waking second, she lay in the living room, droopy eyed, not caring where I was, losing weight each day as she refused all food."

"Last fall my aged pony came down with colic. His old heart could not handle the stress and, amidst many tears, he died in my arms. My young mare, who had grown up playing with the pony, stood for three days, looking out over the area where we had buried him. She barely moved from the spot, even resisting her feed."

"And recently, near Bangkok, an elephant named Jim tried desperately to lift his twin sister, Joom, as she lay dying. His keepers are now worried about him, as his deep depression is obvious."

"If non-human animals have no understanding of their own mortality, why do wild horses rally around one that is ill, surrounding and protecting her until she either gets better, or dies. How is it that dogs have been known to howl at the precise moment that a loved one, whichever species, passes on? Why do dolphins take turns helping an ill pod member to the surface to breathe? And why do cow and calf elephants refuse to leave their herd matriarch when she is shot, even as the poachers slaughter them one by one?"

"The word "instinct" is commonly used when we humans become uncomfortable with our own vast lack of knowledge. But those of us who spend our lives with non-human companions know that instinct is only a small part of what they are. And we also know that our companion animals look soulfully at us when we are sad, instantly forgive us when we are irritable, and show us daily the power of unconditional love. How would that be possible if each did not possess a soul?"

"Perhaps it is time that we open our minds, along with our hearts, and accept our fellow creatures as partners on this Earth, to walk along beside us instead of ten feet behind."
