Worms are part of gods creation too, do they have souls?

daschle better hope so

[Mrs. Don-o]

Worms (and other animals) have animative souls. Plants have vegetative souls. These are natural souls. Human beings have rational souls, which are spirits. That is, we have supernatural souls.

I think that in order to find ot whether a given space alien had a rational (spiritual) soul, we would have to find out whether, at any point in his/her/its life cycle, this creature possessed the POTENTIAL for thinking and choosing, which would make the creature inwardly free and morally responsible for its actions.

Mat 10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

I took this to mean the size and complexity of sparrows were the lower limit.
