All living things have souls

[JoeyKnothead]

From Post 42 here:

1) All living things have "souls," but "soul"=/="immaterial."

For debate:

Please offer some means to confirm the referenced claim is true.

From Post 78:

I think the meaning of what a soul is just means the unique individual.

I can dig it. It's been my experience that some religious folks think it to be above and beyond your definition.

I note that the original claimant has expressed how he ain't got time to tell about this, or that it's my sufferin' education is why he can't show he speaks truth.

I propose that where a "simple" definition may suffice, our original claimant has done anything but. In my paranoia, I suspect - though can't possibly know - the intent of the original claim was on the more religious side of it, where there's you, a-sittin' right there, and there's some "soul" that might up and fly away, leaving "you" behind. Now that ain't to say that's what's meant, only that's what I'm a-gettin'. Which is why I seek to examine the claims of the claimant.
