GOOD. The world has a lot of competing paradigms about God and souls.
Every Religion claims that the believers of
other Religions have misplaced their faith. But
none of them can prove it is the One True Religion, so why should
any of them be believed?
If you read
The Cuticle Cell Argument, then that means you should be aware of how both "twinning" and "chimerism" happen. The first starts with a single conception event, and leads to multiple separate human bodies. The second starts with two conception events, yielding two separate living entities, and leads to a single human body, even though neither of the original entities dies during the chimerism process. Therefore, if a human soul is associated with a conception event, then, about four days after conception, (A) where do the extra souls come from, when twinning happens, and (B), where does one soul go, when chimerism happens?
The Fact Is, the notion that souls are associated with conception is a notion that ultimately stems from an ancient hypothesis called "
vitalism",
which has been proved false. Living things have no more "life force" than a fuel-powered toy (such as a
model airplane). Scientists know that
anything that can begin to exist as a consequence of some purely physical event (like the biological merging of sperm and egg), can also be destroyed by some other purely physical event. It is Logically Impossible for a new-formed zygote to have an
immortal soul, something that is immune to physical events like twinning and chimerism. Only a
non-physical event (like an Act of God) can cause something to exist that is immune to the phenomena of the Physical Universe.
THEREFORE, when a zygote begins to exist, it does not have a soul. It
might be given one at any time afterward, BUT....
God knows that about 2/3 of all new-formed zygotes will fail to yield live births. God can probably read the DNA and know at a glance which zygotes are doomed to fail.
"In the end, only souls matter". That is a rather common claim of many Religions; it might even be true. But if it is....
God Loves the fully-ensouled pregnant woman. She has a soul, while the unborn human doesn't,
unless God gives it one.
God Knows the exact probability that a pregnant woman might choose to abort her pregnancy.
God Smartly is aware of the Facts and Logic that if killing an ensouled entity is "murder", then abortion can be "murder"
only if the unborn human has a God-given soul.
God Smartly Knows Love is
not expressed by giving an unborn human a soul,
while aware that the woman would abort, and thereby making her condemnable for murder.
