The soul according to many religious and philosophical traditions, is the ethereal substance ” spirit (Hebrew:rooah or nefesh) ” particular to a unique living being. Such traditions often consider the soul both immortal and innately aware of its immortal nature, as well as the true basis for sentience in each living being.
The concept of the soul has strong links with notions of an afterlife, but opinions may vary wildly, even within a given religion, as to what happens to the soul after death. Many within these religions and philosophies see the soul as immaterial, while others consider it possibly material. -Wikipedia.org
Do souls exist in result of the process of evolution?
Do souls evolve?
After death, what happens to one's soul?
Or are we as we think of all of the kingdoms of organisms, simply souless temporary additions to a world that is also temporary, and random?
In my belief as a Christian, humans have souls, humans, after death find God. The world does not matter, the world of science is worthless.
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?" (Matthew 16:26)

Hi Charlie,
Couple of quick things:
1. What forum are you looking to put this in? It looks like a "Faith and Belief" topic--once you start talking "soul", you're into metaphysics.
2. Can you attribute your sources please? You did for the second, but not from the first. Just paste a link or attribution somewhere in there.
Thanks!
