thats one of those things i could think about for days and write 10 pages about before i even make a single point. i would have to lean toward saying yes. its so hard to define what a soul is, where it comes from, and what has one. i'd say that any living thing with a brain would have a soul, or at least something that could be described as a soul. personally, i'd describe a soul as the combination of a living creature's abilities to think, feel, see, touch, express emotion, etc. the physical body allows the soul to "work", but there's something else going on outside of the physical world. am i even answering your question anymore? or am i just rambling? basically, i think every living creature is inhabited by some kind of force or soul or spirit and the physical body is almost like a vehicle or host for that force or soul or spirit. the end.

just in case you didnt bother to read all that nonsense, my answer is yes.
