The universe is completely deterministic and your current thoughts/beliefs you might think you came to through introspection and discovery were always meant to be there.

souls are an energy field permeating the universe, like the force or some poo poo. in 200 years some physicist is gonna receive the nobel prize for finding the soul boson or w/e

Nah souls are produced by tiny symbiotic microorganisms in our blood. Now this is metaphysics

Cats, dolphins, primates, dogs, whales, some sharks and goats (it's on an individual basis and not by species)

That's a common misconception, dogs and cats categorically do not have souls. Tarantulas, surprisingly yes.

Cats and dogs have souls, sorry. You are partially correct that tarantulas have souls: most of them have souls.

Nah I'm sorry, I made inquiries.

That's how you build an interesting character though, you could have been a barefoot and illiterate peasant under Vlad the Impaler, or in Carthage.

Every time I go to sleep or get put under I am immediately transported to God and we hang out and chat. She is pretty cool actually.

Anyhow if this doesn't happen to you and you just wake up after several missing hours, you just might be a soulless automaton, sorry!

All the arguments for why souls exist generally come down to 'Im scared of the concept that I could stop existing'

And that's the tragedy of being human - that the soul and the body aren't separate things but interconnected. You grow a soul in your body as your body lives, and if you live old enough, that's when you start actually making a really beautiful, well-rounded soul. But the body is fragile and the tragedy of human existence is that right as your soul is finally starting to become a piece of art is when you get snuffed out of existence, and the soul which took a lifetime to cultivate is wiped away like shaking an etch-a-sketch.

You are an ephemeral thing for you to have right here and now. Your life project is building your soul, and the project ends when your life does. But that's ok. We are like flowers blooming in our own seasons. And eventually our season ends.

If souls are flowers what are the bees

I'm totally over this thread, but ultimately my biggest point would be the universe is 13.7 years old, to our best knowledge, and you will live less than 100 years of it. Most of this time is spent by stars exploding, like snuffed flames, and the higher elements they create spread out, only to enstar before exploding again, release even higher elements to create the building blocks of life. If you completely cease to exist when you die you would be dead right now. Honestly I think you're just trying to make yourselves feel better by thinking your life is so unique and important, and nonperiodic in our cyclical universe

Were you there, smart guy?

The universe stops when I don't wake up.
