What happens to god when mankind goes extinct?

And the rest of the life forms are just here to make sure humans survive that long?

The conception is fairly anthropomorphic. That question would hang on whether animals have souls or not. Which leads to the interesting question suppose that human extinction happens by us evolving into a more intelligent species, would we then count as animals from our far off descendants' point of view and not be worthy of consideration as having had souls?

FAIRLY anathropomorphic? Not sure how it is possible to get any MORE anthro🙂

I would like to see some kind of scientific test to prove we have souls. I think that is just another man made concepts to make us feel a step higher than the animal kingdom. Several steps, more like it, for most people.

We certainly have minds, it's never been clear to me what the difference between mind and soul is.

According to the Oxford online dictionary the etymology of mind is as follows:

Old English gemynd 'memory, thought', of Germanic origin, from an Indo-European root meaning 'revolve in the mind, think', shared by Sanskrit manas and Latin mens 'mind'.

Whereas the word soul has this etymology:

Old English sāwol, sāw(e)l, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch ziel and German Seele.

The definition tends to refer to emotion rather than logic. The interesting thing is that the separation of the two concepts seems to be old, even if sāwol had a slightly different meaning to the modern soul, gemynd seems to have had an identical meaning to mind. Soul is essence, whereas mind is more concrete.

I am not really all that clever. I learned how to FIX posts from another RHP poster who FIXED one of my posts.

And you don't recognize sarcasm when you see it either.

I just wanted to make sure you were not deceiving yourself.

Fixed, just another example of you not using your own brain but copying other folks ideas. Have you EVER had an original thought of your own?

Even if it was silly, like 'if a toilet lid flapped hard enough, could it fly?'

See, its not hard to actually have your own thoughts.

I make every effort to avoid stupid thoughts like stars and planets being expoded into existence, and animals creating themselves from rocks and changing into different kinds of animals over millions or billions of years until one or two become human beings.
