[This does not answer the question of "when were the souls created"?]

"Define "soul" as you are using it in this question, and I'll take a stab at it."


Hebrew word nephesh -soul- life as used "breath of life".

[The E crowd never addresses this either]

"Sure we do."

[they are completely obsessed with their flesh.]

"Do you actually believe this nonsense?"

"Clue: If I were "completely obsessed with my flesh", why would I spend time posting on these threads, for example?"

I have yet to read one offering by an self identified E describing the E's theory of the soul.

Actually, at this point it would be considered a hypothesis. Once we find a way to test the hypothesis and have it confirmed it might be elevated to the status of a theory. Do you have a method for testing for the soul?

There is no scientific theory of souls. How would you measure souls? How would you detect their presence? If you can provide me with a "Soul-meter" then I will gladly do some experimental work and derive a theory of souls. Until then, souls will have to remain in the realm of theology and philosophy and stay out of science.

Ooookay... Could you be a bit more specific? This is so vague that it could mean any of the following (or something else entirely:

1. Oxygen metabolism.

2. Air-breathing.

3. "Vital principle".

4. Consciousness.

5. Self-awareness.

6. A form of "self" which allegedly persists after death of the body.

Nonetheless, your failure to discover such discussions is hardly support for your insulting claim that evolutionists "are completely obsessed with their flesh".
