[QUOTE="Tiger, post: 125425, member: 353"] Without getting into the weeds regarding the lack of scientific evidence to support this view, your position reflects a common but deeply flawed attempt to reconcile two fundamentally opposed worldviews. Let me ask you: At what precise point in the evolutionary process does God, according to your belief, infuse the soul? Was it when an ape-like ancestor first walked upright? Or perhaps when they began to use rudimentary tools? And why would God reserve this gift of an immortal soul only for humans? Are other animals, which also exhibit intelligence and social behaviours, entirely excluded from this divine act? To accept that we "evolved from primates" is to adopt a worldview in which man is merely an advanced animal shaped by random mutations and the pitiless forces of natural selection. Yes, we have animal bodies, however in such a schema, where is the space for the soul, which transcends materiality? Where is the room for free will, which defies deterministic processes? And where, one must ask, is the evidence—clear, observable, and sufficient—that such a blind and unguided process could produce not only the physical complexity of human beings but also the intangible realities of consciousness, morality, and the longing for transcendence? How can one assert, without verifiable proof, that this purposeless mechanism explains the very attributes that distinguish humanity from the rest of creation? Evolution leaves no room for these higher realities because it denies, a priori, the existence of anything beyond matter and energy. You suggest that belief in God and the soul can coexist with this godless, reductionist theory. But this is a modern delusion, a compromise driven by the desire to placate the secular consensus rather than pursue truth. If man is simply a product of evolutionary chance, then the notion of divine intervention to “infuse” a soul at some arbitrary point is a theological absurdity. Such an act would make God complicit in a brutal process of death and suffering—a notion utterly alien to the God revealed in Sacred Scripture. Can you clarify these broad details within the hybrid model that you postulate? [/QUOTE]
