Can any Christian who believes in evolution please explain one thing to me...at what point between apes and humans did God decide to give humans a soul? Was it a specific generation, ie. a mother and father weren't given souls, but their children were? Or did the soul evolve along with the ape-men?

Still waiting...

There are a lot of things the Bible doesn't discuss. That's one of them.

But there are others... Like where did Cain & Able get their wives?

Well, I'm Jewish, but I'll give it a shot: It was the point where Adam was born.

A little less glibly, the first human soul was the first along the line of human evolution, who realized "I am," thus becoming the image of God -- "I Am That I Am."

At what point would you like it to be?

Who says we descended from apes? Perhaps God, in his wisdom took a human form/species and simultaneously breathed souls into the entire form. To restrict God to OUR understanding of what He did is to deny the very omnipotence of God.
