Aloysius Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 it is not as free human's will is... they are governed more by instinct and reaction, and they have mortal souls focused more on their earthly life with no eternal existence. in that they are governed by instinct and do not hold immortal souls they cannot sin, but they can choose their actions basically. many of their actions are just reactions to environment based on instinct, but there is a certain extent of free will involved. they are not controlled by God or anything, and they are not FULLY controlled by instinct and nature but are to a great extent.

Socrates Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 Not in the true sense of being able to choose good or evil. An animal's "choices" are determined by its senses, appetites, instincts, conditioning, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted April 15, 2005 Share Posted April 15, 2005 [quote name='Socrates' date='Apr 14 2005, 09:46 PM'] Not in the true sense of being able to choose good or evil. An animal's "choices" are determined by its senses, appetites, instincts, conditioning, etc. [/quote] Bingo. Animals, therefore, are incapable of true love...just a side note...
