Evolution and Christianity and Salvation

[Yonadav]

There is no reason to believe that a baby has magic super powers

But babies DO have magic superpowers.  I'm a grown man, rapidly approaching my half-century mark.  I'm over six feet tall, well muscled, and still play rugby on occasion. I've been in bar fights, jail fights, and street riots.

And a six-months old infant can make me say things like, 'Woodgy woodgy woo - oo's a widdle man, den?  Duzzum gotta tummy tum tum?  Yezzim duz!'

If that's not a superpower, then nothing is.

Give it a couple of more decades, and then you will have the power to make your nurses say things like that to you.

I asked about that.  There are no souls other than those that descend from the one that committed original sin.  There are no souls whatsoever that are not descended from the one.  Therefore, the first and only soul to exist was also the one that all subsequent souls inherited original sin from.  There were no 'clean' souls.  God picked one and only one person to carry that first soul - IF you want to reconcile evolution and Christianity (and the concept of original sin).

I assume that you are responding to my post. The person with the soul passes soul on to their descendants. So the descendants of anyone who interbreeds with any of the descendants of that one person are going to inherit from that person. After enough generations, everyone has inherited it, regardless of having ancestors who were contemporaries of that one person. The only way that it would be possible to not have inherited it, is if someone is descended from people who never interbred with that one line a single time. But their children would probably inherit it, because they are probably going to interbreed with someone who inherited it.
