The prevailing standpoint for the majority of creationists I encountered is that somehow we have a soul and that's why we are not "just animals". This is my most common counter-argument. Be free to use it in case of emergency :D
It would be really cool if the soul exists. Imagine that, we would get the brand new scientific topic at the beginning of our careers. We would be the rock stars of science. "Soul-o-logists"!!!
We would get all the grants.
Moneeeey!
I mean... Chance to do research!
