I'm trying to understand that. Humans have a soul that survives death because we can write a song or paint a painting, and every other creature does not?

What does "create an abstract world beyond the physical" mean, and how do you know other animals can't or don't do that?

There's a documentary I remember from a while ago, which followed a pack (or whatever it would be called) of gorillas, very sad, one of the babies dies and the mother cries and carries the dead body around for days, you could see the wracking pain, grief and anguish on the mother's face for weeks. But until it can paint a picture, no soul?
