re resp:22: Natural selection wouldn't account for the development of 
the soul, unless a soul provides some sort of advantage in surviving 
and reproducing.  The only purpose for a soul, evolutionarily, would 
seem to be to obtain the divine assistance of God.

There is no evidence of developmental souls in a fetus, or degrees of 
souls in any humans ("Wow, look at this guy... he really has a big 
soul!"), or animals that have a lesser degree of soul, or anything like 
that.

I conclude that if souls are in there, they were put there by someone, 
and further that they do not reside in the appendix.
