In my eyes, you're just as offensive as the OP because you're trying to force your beliefs on anyone who disagrees with you.
That goes to anyone who's continuing to state that animals do or do not have souls as if it were fact!
Also, if you knew much of anything about science at all, you would know that nothing is ever proven in science. You'll never hear a true scientist say they have 'proven' something. Everything is made of hypotheses, which can then form theories with large amounts of supporting evidence.
You can't prove that, and I can't prove that we have a soul. No one can even make a theory out of either. BOTH are opinions, but learn to respect others' opinions if you want yours to be respected at all.
I stated how I feel about it, my opinion. I didn't say you have to agree with it.
Also if you find posts like this offensive, you are far to oversensitive.
