Common Sense and Evolution

A response to: Pope: No Faith-Science Opposition in Evolution

After reading through the entire article for some clarification on the issue, the last paragraph offered a hint of something which common sense has told us all along: «The human soul is not made of parts. And therefore, it could not possibly have evolved.»

Theistic evolutionists will try to wed this reality with a theory that God infused the human soul into a brute animal who had evolved at some distant point in time. The problem is, there is not one shred of evidence (in Revelation or anthropology) to support this. The alternative view is that God created the body and soul together in an instant. Fossil evidence will never be able to prove this. But is it really that hard to believe? We believe that at the final judgment everyone’s body and soul will be united in an instant. If we accept this reality as a future event — why couldn’t it also be true as a past event?
