PS: BTW, there is truth to be found in all religion bodies, even those bodies once considers "heretical."
I agree. I don't remember if the article pointed it out but animals, biblically, also have nepesh...souls.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul (NEPHESH).
NEPHESH is used many times in Genesis:
Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature (NEPHESH) that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
All living breathing creatures are SOULS and clearly animals are not immortal.
