Please post your answers to the following questions:
1. Many people would see this lesson as irrelevant to real life and therefore not important. Do you think the study of the creation of the soul is relevant? Please explain.
2. The pre-existence theory says that our souls pre-existed the creation of our body. How have you seen this view implicitly evidenced by people’s beliefs?
3. The creation view of the soul has been popular throughout church history. Why do you think that this view is attractive?
4. The traducian view of the soul says that parents are intermediate causes for the creation of the soul. Do you think that it is possible for this to be the case? Please explain why or why not.
5. Do you think that it is possible to be a creationist and to support abortion. Keep in mind that, according to the creationist view, we cannot be absolutely certain when God joins the soul with the body? Why or why not?
6. The study of the creation of the soul has become somewhat of a theological pastime. Most people have never dealt with the issues presented in this lesson. Why do you think this is the case?
7. How is your thinking most challenged by this lesson? Please explain.
