I don't see it that way. Trying to reconcile every aspect of the physical world with every aspect of the spiritual, for example the Bible, requires extreme logical contortions.
To me it also cheapens faith to say it can be understood empirically.
Why can't an all powerful god use a naturally occurring organism as the vessel for a soul?

Science is what it is. If Darwinism is the nature of things, it doesn’t matter whether or not we see things this or that way, the conclusion has to follow from the premise.
If we all came from the process of random mutation via natural selection, then what we believe in regards to what is moral NECESSARILY means that they are products of this natural process. Right or wrong are simply labels we put on actions and feelings (both the result of nature), that we like or dislike. Moral superiority or inferiority are simply that — personal feelings. Nothing really objectively right or wrong. It’s just the result of natural process.

Well now, we are getting somewhere. If an all powerful God did indeed create nature and designed nature the way it is, then things are not really the result of chance.
If this premise is true, then at least, there is a basis for saying that the notion that ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL is objectively, a superior MORAL idea.
Otherwise, all Jefferson did was refer to a myth that Darwinism debunked.
