Are we just hairless apes with a soul?

My first thought is that yes God created all things, but we, and only we, were created in His image. We are not on the same plane as apes, they were created with the animals, we were created separately in the image of God.

Do you don't believe animals have souls?

They cannot have a soul in the same sense we have a soul. They cannot make a decision about salvation, they have no understanding of eternal life, they have no understanding of God, they cannot make a decision based on God's laws. Will they be in heaven? I don't know, I have heard arguements both ways and the Bible, I think, does not address the situation.

Hopefully, when God creates the new earth, we'll get a bunch of new animals to enjoy. He knows how much we love them!
