This is the question you asked on post #6 which is different than the OP. Quite a few of us have told you we don't believe there even is a soul in the first place so no explanation is required. You always keep switching the questions around in all of your posts if you don't like the answers you get. Yes, evolution does account for the development of ethics and morals with regard to such things as murder. It is not in the best interests of human beings to murder each other. We are a social animal and have a need to interact and cooperate with one another in order to survive as a species. We couldn't even have a society or a culture if murder was acceptable. We have also developed emotions and human feelings that include empathy and care for each other. Evolution is much more than survival of the fittest, it's also about existing in harmony with nature and destructive behavior such as murder undermines all of that. Ok, I think I gave you a pretty good answer so go ahead and change the question again.
Actually....one would think evolution would encourage less competition for resources.
Yes, my original question has changed, based on the answer given--because rather than actually answering it, people chose to deflect it and pretend they don't believe in the soul.

Pretend? Really, it is you who is pretending that such a thing as a soul exists.

If human beings were actively engaged in trying to kill each other off instead of cooperating with each other we would have become extinct.
As far as the business with the soul is concerned, none of us are pretending we don't believe in it, we really don't. It's obviously a man made idea and superstitious in nature.
That was very good statement. Soul's are spirits that choose from the other side to inhabit the world of human body to learn more about life's experiences.

Would you mind showing us factual evidence of this claim please?
Any more off topic and/or attacking posts and June will close the thread.
June isn't fond of closing threads...
Be nice.
