So the soul can experience what it is to be human.There is a plan we just stumble our way through until we get back on the path or plan if you will. It's a learning experience and chance to get back to God.

The soul is your identity. The conscious is part of your spirit. Emotions function from your soul. We have a conscious from our spirit to communicate with God, because God is a Spirit. This is why people are the only creatures that can question why we are here, what is my purpose, who am I etc.

If we evolved from Primates we could not have a soul, conscience etc

Soul? Not sure. But conscience, is nothing more that moral sense. Emotions are regulatory in nature. Fear provides for safety, love for companiionship and procreation, desire can be for ambition or goals,and so forth.

ithink we have these so that the universe can expereince itself--life is just a great big feedback loop
