What's in a Soul?

Growing up a "Christian" so many people would question me about if there is a God and humans go to "Heaven" when they die, what about animals and plants, and other organisms. So, that's the question of the day for me. But I am going to answer it myself too...

I have come to the conclusion that every living thing has some kind of energy or soul. I feel that if it has a conscious it has a soul. If it can make a decision it can have feelings, if it has feelings it has a soul.

I remember watching the show X-files and on this particular episode this estranged surgeon was operating on humans trying over and over again to find where the "soul" was located in the body. I am sure there are so many thoughts and opinions, but this is my blog so I get to give my own opinion.

Now, I am sure I will do my research on the subject one day, but for now, it's how I feel. The soul isn't just reserved for Humans. What do you think?
