No. We are nothing but bags of meat that, over millions of years, evolved a way to think. We feel so high and mighty about ourselves that we made up "something special" about ourselves to set us apart from every other bag of meat on the planet.

Not necessarily. If there is such a thing as a soul, I see no reason why all the other bags of meat wouldn't have one as well.
