Evolutionism implies biological determinism.

How so? Also, what is "evolutionism"?

From the perspective of the human body, so does Christianity. The body lives, the body dies.

The soul is not a biological entity.

Huh? That makes as much sense as "Niceosity implies insultification qualification."

Sounds like a sound bite to me. Perhaps you can clear it up.

I'm having a really hard time buying that one. Evolution doesn't state that organisms move towards a "goal." Nor does it state that there is some transcendent state that life will eventually reach. All it claims is that life that is able to survive does so, and life that is not able to survive does not.

No determinism there.
