One difficult question which evolutionists will have to face is the question of spirituality. How will they explain the vital force of the spirit, the psyche, free will, and the soul? What adaptation could cause one's spirit to evolve? At what evolutionary stage does a soul mingle with flesh and blood? How is "mind over matter" achieved?

I stumble at the beginning. The issues you raise are not (in my ever-humble opinion) scientific issues at all. I doubt that science can ever deal with these matters.

I suspected you might have that comment, as I would expect it from all who are epistemologically materialist, even if they are not metaphysically materialist. But please do keep reading; I would very much like to hear all your views! Hugs!!!
