ensoulment? Thats a fresh one to me.
"ensoulment? Thats a fresh one to me."
Well, with every human conception, a new soul is created and God locates it in that preborn person, right?
In Genesis, God made man from dirt. Surely he didn't have a soul at that point. After God had him ready, He breathed a soul into him.
"If man evolved, it necessarily follows that somewhere in there, man did not have an immortal soul"
No, some halfway creature that God was molding into a receptacle for a soul didn't have one. So what?
"- which would mean that "our immortal souls evolved" - which is an obvious oxymoron."
No, it wouldn't mean that at all. It would just mean that until God got His receptacles ready, He didn't endow them with souls.
