there is absolutely no difference between humans and animals
Which animals have a legal system, and adjudicate transgressions? Which animal recognizes the rights of other animals? Which animals employ worthless bits of metal or paper as currency? Which animals worship?
Obviously, there are *vast* differences between humans, and the rest of the animals on Earth. Obviously.
Yes, that's at the moment. If you gave them a few billion years then they probably could.
And we already did the currency thing and apparently monkeys can. How would you know if animals worship or not? Animals do recognise the rights of other animals, I believe, such as rights to territory and stuff. Ants might have a legal system. Or bees. Do you watch animals constantly? Do you know what they are thinking? no.
And everything has a soul, not just humans.
