1703 Endowed with “a spiritual and immortal” soul,5 the human person is “the only creature on earth that God has willed for its own sake.”6
The word ‘endowed’, does this described an evolutionary ‘leap’ that gave man something divine? By its very definition, something that is endowed comes from something. We were endowed, at our Creation (not at some point in our evolution) with our spiritual and immortal soul.
So, where in the evolutionary ladder of things did the soul appear? Neanderthal? Ardi? The Lemur? At what point, in your version of Gods evolutionary plan, did man evolve enough to be endowed?
Really, Natural Law, is man divine or just an accident in the giant dice game of the cosmos?
‘spiritual and immortal’, are these attributes evolutionary? Or perhaps our Creator ‘endowed’ us with them
Had you no answers to these questions?
