Are you suggesting that the soul does not exist until conception - then at the moment of conception is created and immortal and is a part of the organism we call “mankind”?

No, I an giving a example that disproves the premise that because the person was not posessed of a soul until conception that conception must have created the soul.

But no one has claimed that conception created the soul.

was the soul created at the point in time of conception, or prior? I believe the soul is eternal, in that it was created by God, but before the earth was created. Before our birth, we knew God, we dwelled in Heaven, and eagerly accepted the temporary challenge that is mortal life, that we may progress to whatever next stage awaits us.

As intelligent beings, we learn - we seek out ways to learn and grow - to remain forever limited in knowledge is not in our makeup; it is not how God designed us. We are inquisitive by nature, I believe this will be carried with us after death.
