Because you are in the process of perishing, there isn’t an answer which could be written to which you would not disagree and choose to argue, whether you comprehend or not, just to be the contrarian. You see, the answer is tied to the sovereignty of The Creator, do as The Creator sees fit, not as it would fit with any of a various human value systems. A turtle lays perhaps a hundred eggs in the sand on a beach, yet there may pass several generations before even a single descendant from that mother trutel comes to the beach to lay eggs. The rest live and die without seeming to have a purpose, other than to live. Most of the hatchlings never reach sexual maturity because they are consumed by larger animals. Is that economy an offense to you? ... it is related to one of the great questions I have for when I see my Savior face to face. But I do not have any influence upon how The Creator arranged His Creation. Somehow, I think you want to argue with someone you profess to not believe exists. I don’t want to arguye with you. I’m offering my thoughts on the way outside chance that your soul is not entirely dead.

Surely you aren’t suggesting that turtles have souls now, are you? That tiny difference matters.

Your example, on the other hand, proves the links and flaws that the mode of human reproduction shares with the animal kingdom, and those same flaws transfer onto “souls” too, if they could exist.
