Evolution is a theory of human origins; it does not address the soul.

Therefore it is not a theory of human origins, because a human is both body and soul.

Did you ever watch James Burke’s Connections series? He would explore some of the twists and turns of technological development. I remember in one show, he talked about how the invention of a more efficient loom led to the production of more and cheaper clothes, which led to the accumulation of lots of linen rags, which became the raw material for the production of lots of paper, which was used in lots of books, which spurred the growth of literacy in medieval Europe.

It’s like you’re saying “That’s not an explanation for the growth of literacy because he didn’t mention ink!”

Okay, fine. By ECO’s standards, the theory of evolution is not a “theory of human origins” because it doesn’t explain everything about being human.
