How does theory of evolution affect belief in the human soul?

Evolutionary theory does away with the requirement for gods to be involved in the becoming of humans. If one assumes that this means that no gods were involved, then this has certain theological implications. For one thing, it would no longer be necessary to speculate about the nature of the soul, since there's no reason to assume such a thing exists.

However, evolutionary theory, even though it makes gods unnecessary, does nothing to prove they don't exist. One may therefore believe without risk of being factually inaccurate that gods do in fact exist, and that souls likewise exist.

Answer

It does not. Evolution is a fact, not a theory. Evolutionary theory explains how evolution works.

Answer The very fact that evolution itself has different theories tells us that it cannot be believable. REMEMBER THIS: THAT AN IDEA THAT HAS CONTRADICTIONS WITHIN ITSELF, UNLESS QUALIFIED, CANNOT BE TRUE. Evolution is definitely not qualified to be true. As for the question. Show me a person who believes in evolution, and I'll show you a person who doesn't believe in the human soul. Evolution claims that we evolved from a lower form of life, which evolved from an even lower form of life, which evolved from NOTHING. If we have evolved from nothing, it's impossible to have a soul. But the fact that GOD created us in HIS IMAGE (not a bacteria's), and that He gave us spirits, is the reason why we have spirits and souls and a conscience.

Answer:

Evolution was disingenuously conceived with the implicit purpose of attempting to make God superfluous, following in the footsteps of Anaximander, Lamarcke and others. It was embraced with glee, worldwide, almost overnight, for that very reason: many people don't like the idea of a Lord above.

However, Evolution has been badgered by intractable problems since its outset. Darwin himself noted the lack of transitional fossils.

One problem that scientists still argue over is how consciousness works. Is it electrical impulses or is it an epiphenomenon? The more that the human mind is researched, the more its wonders are revealed. The world's most powerful supercomputer has one-half the information capacity of the brain of a common mouse.

To believers, the existence of the human soul is a matter of tradition and is pretty self-evident too. Taking it into account solves many mysteries and makes this world part of a much larger picture.
