For evolution to work, you have to have no brains. People who have evolution, don't have souls/brains/sense.

Still waiting to hear your theory.

Not a theory but this should differentiate you from others.

EMOR: Cohanim and The Illusion of Death

In his book on the laws of mourning ("Gesher Hachaim"), Rav Tokachinsky related the following parable in order to explain the Jewish view on life after death:

Twin brothers, fetuses in their mother's womb, enjoy their carefree life. Their world is dark and warm and protected. These twins are alike in all aspects but one. One brother is a 'believer' - he believes in an afterlife, in a future reality much different than their current, tiny universe. But the other brother is a skeptic. All he knows is the familiar world of the womb. Anything besides what he can feel and sense is an illusion. The skeptic tries to talk some sense into his brother, he warns him to be realistic, but to no avail. His brother naively insists on believing in an extraordinary world that exists after life in the womb, a world so immense and fantastic that it is transcends their wildest imaginings.

The months pass, and the fatal moment arrives. Labor begins. The fetuses are aware of tremendous contractions and shifting in their little world. The freethinker recognizes that 'this is it'; his short but pleasant life is about to end. He feels the forces pressuring him to go down, but he fights against them. He knows that outside the womb, a cruel death awaits, with no protective sack and no umbilical cord. Suddenly he realizes that his ingenuous brother is giving in to the forces around them. He is sinking!

"Don't give up!" he cries, but the innocent one takes no heed. "Where are you, my dear brother?!" he calls out. He shudders when he hears his brother screaming from outside the womb. His poor brother has met his cruel fate. How naive he was, with his belief in a bigger, better world!

Then the skeptic feels the uterine muscles pushing him out too, against his will, into the abyss. He screams out ...

"Mazal Tov!" calls out the doctor. "Two healthy baby boys!
