Everything has a soul, dogs, plants and birds. If it breathes, feels and moves it has a soul, even though most christians will tell you most animals don't have a soul. I do know the bible says only we have souls, I just don't believe it.
In Genesis it sounds like the animals are created twice.
Genesis 1:25-27
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God said, Let us make man in our image.... So God created man in his own image.
According to your Bible, God creates the animals. Then he creates Man.
Genesis 2:18-19
And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.
But in this passage, Man (Adam) is already around when God "forms ever beast of the field, and every fowl", and bring them to Adam to be named.
Which part of the Bible is correct?
By asking the question:
Did Man get made first? Or was it Animals first?
Animals being created spiritually before they were created physically provides a solution. So yes, animals do indeed have spirits and certainly have bodies. Since the soul is the spirit and the body together we know that animals do have souls.
