Souls?

Do they look like those orbs from LoZ Windwaker? Or like a witch soul from Soul Eater?
So many questions...
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.

I know you didn't mean to imply this, but you ask this question as if Drich has put forth intelligent thought and scientific rigor into his hypothesis. I think a more important question is why god's account of creation needs any additions at all.

He made that clear in the post, it's otherwise irreconcilable. The lord of the cosmos is in need of Drich's assistance in this regard. Apparently (and I would have never guessed this) he's an incompetent storyteller.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Well, we know the answer to that one, to fabricate evidence to fit into what is already there, in order for them to feel special, godchosen and smart.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Man I sure would like to get me some fine Neanderthal pussy. You just don't get the chance to interbreed with near relations anymore, you know? Of course, there's plenty of homo erectus around; hell, this site is a magnet I think.
Gives me an idea for a personals ad: "Looking for soul-less female near relative. Monkeywoman okay but must be soul-less, be a non-smoker and be okay with dogs."

So much for 'stay silent where the bible is silent,' eh? Anyone else ever notice that Drich tends to put forth ideas that may complement what he is arguing at the time but completely refute one of his previous arguments?

If God created this world to sustain man then it would be resonable to assume that the relationship between Man and God was the ultimate Goal. If this goal would have normally taken a 'trillion' years to play out, and it was in His ablity to create two people to commune with in the mean while, then why not?

kinda like the Whole THEORY of Evolution or creation to begin with eh? I looks to me that I'm in good company. As we all expend a measure of faith to believe what it is we want to believe about our orgins.

Drich, what is the scientific definition of a theory?
