@Screw: ..................................God created humans to glorify him (i.e., he did it, in the words of Bugzy, to flaunt his infinite, holy PWNage). If animals are closer to God, then exactly what is the point of humanity? To fill in a niche?

@Speed: There's not much proof that animals feel any emotions at all. The Bible doesn't say animals have souls, either.

@HF: Right indeed. Plants definitely don't have souls, even if they react to changes in their environment.
