We are changing the subject here, since evolutionary science does not mean Darwin is creating animals from scratch in the back room. Your statement does raise some interesting questions though:

You talk about living things having a soul. Can you detect or otherwise prove the existence of a soul? I will go ahead and assume you cannot, feel free to correct me if I am assuming too much.

Given that you cannot prove the existence of a soul, it stands to reason that you could not detect the presence or absence of a soul. So, assuming that science did create a seemingly living animal it would be indistinguishable from that of a truly living animal by your reckoning. In fact, without the ability to observe or detect souls you have no reason to assume that all naturally occurring life has souls. One begins to wonder what could possibly justify such a belief in the first place.

Let's all have a though experiment at this point. The question is "Do I have a soul?" Why or why not?
