Drich and his are another type of animal, apparently. The soulified ones are the ones descended from a dirtman and a ribgirl, not you and I. Still trying to figure out how god managed not to kill us all off in that little rainstorm he engineered. I don't recall any of our species being on the cargo manifest of the SS Jehovah.
(by the by, for all the shit you -could- give drich on the subject, the notion that the human beings in the garden were not the same as the rest of the fuckers outside the garden is absolutely biblical and foundational to the created and chosen race schtick being peddled by it's authors)
Sorry Kermit...
But we all have souls... the last Souless son of a monkey man died begging to be let into the ark.

Perhaps by small minded people who do not wish to contiplate a greater truth... That being the creation account as recorded in scripture can and does encompass any scientific theory and can still ring completely true.
All on need do is eliminate the time line the church/religion has false put on the end of creation and the fall of Man. Once you allow the bible to simply read as written, then the planet/galaxy universe can be as old as you little mind needs it to be.
I think that a better explanation is that the creation story in Genesis was based upon a Sumerian myth, derived from the Epic of Gilgamesh:
