Man does create life all the time. And if souls existed Man would be creating souls all the time too. To deny this is to deny the reality of life and birth.

That's a non-sequitor. Man does not "create life" -- when cloning a dna strand is taken out and put in an ovum that will be birthed. That is not "creating life" but playing with the tools. Creating life is taking raw elements and making it live and breathe and be cogniscent.

Secondly, if man can do one thing, that does not necessarily mean that he can do another thing -- the Egyptians built pyramids without wheels, they didn't invent those though they were geometrically etc highly advanced

Souls are supposed to be intangible, immaterial. Hence "Man would be creating souls all the time too" is a false statement -- ok, you can say that's making it impossible for man to create the intangible, but that's faith, not science

To deny this is to deny the reality of life and birth -- not necessarily, life and birth does not necessarily entail creation of the intangible does it? It entails the creation of the tangible

Sex creates life Cronos. The joining of the two DNA strands creates new life. It is actually pretty simple.

That depends, is the wavefunction collapse tangible? It depends on the outcome, obviously. Like I said before, consciousness is a result of Quantum Tunneling at the synapses.
