Genesis 7:[SUP]16 [/SUP]And they that went in, went in male and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord shut him in.[SUP] 17 [/SUP]And the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth.[SUP] 18 [/SUP]And the waters prevailed, and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.[SUP] 19 [/SUP]And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.[SUP] 20 [/SUP]Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.[SUP] 21 [/SUP]And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:[SUP] 22 [/SUP]All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died.[SUP] 23 [/SUP]And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.[SUP]24 [/SUP]And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
The egg is not a seed, it is a ball of soup, Adam and Eve was the first humans to have souls, and God created the human body like a computer, first need the motherboard, then processor, ram, hard drive, power supply etc., once the computer has been completely formed then the actual electricity can be applied and the computer is up and running basically the same with the human body and that was the final stage of evolution for our planet to have souled beings, by God's design.

Man and animal are both breathing animals
The word “soul” is translated from Hebrew, the word nephesh.
The Hebrew nephesh merely means a breathing animal
animals are called nephesh in: Genesis 1:20, “moving creature” (Hebrew, nephesh);
Genesis 1:21, “great whales, and every living creature” (Hebrew, nephesh);
Genesis 1:24, “living creature” (Hebrew, nephesh).
The translators in translating into the English language used the English word “creature
but in Genesis 2:7 they translated the same nephesh into the English word “soul”
—man became a “living soul” (nephesh).
The word nephesh literally means “life of animals,” referring to physical life and
not spirit -Satan’s lie to mother Eve that man is immortal and cannot die.
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground;
for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return
The soul is physical, composed of matter, and can die.

that every man was given a spirit and man was also made in the image of God
1 The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens,
and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
- science calls it youre concience, they can't see, or feel, or understand it
8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
- it's what imparts thought, it seperates mans brain from animals
7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
29And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, a
nd every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth
upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

The ancient philosophers taught that man is essentially an immortal spiritual “soul”
housed in a temporary body of flesh—that the real man is not the body, but an invisible,
immaterial “immortal soul” that thinks, hears, sees and will consciously live on forever
At death, according to the speculation of the ancients, the soul leaves the body and journeys
to a nebulous realm, possibly paradise or a place of punishment. The body, they observed,
goes to the grave.
the Jewish Encyclopedia explains: “The belief in the immortality of the soul came to the Jews
from contact with Greek thought and chiefly through the philosophy of Plato, its principal
exponent, who was led to it through Orphic and Eleusinian mysteries in which Babylonian
and Egyptian views were strangely blended” .
The doctrine of the immortality of the soul, according to this respected encyclopedia,
came from pre-Christian Greek philosophers who acquired it from pagan Egypt and Babylon!

Wrong. Only us human beings are living souls designed to go on to the eternities.
Animals have the spirit of God within them so that they are alive, but when an animal or fish
or insect etc. dies they are nothing and the spirit returns to God.
That is why the in-Godly are often referred to as brutish - brute beasts.
