Your self-congratulatory argument’s quality is just as bad as that of those against evolution. Maybe souls twin, too. Or maybe fetus twinning is caused by the need to accommodate a surplus soul. Or...
I would like to point out that my argument is against ‘the soul enters the body at conception’ not ‘there exists a soul’. If souls twin, then this provides an example where the soul enters the body after conception, proving my point.
There are plenty of beliefs in souls that do not require them entering the body at conception. Some Hindus would say that the body, like all material objects, is maya, or illusion, and only consciousness exists, and thus the question ‘does the soul enter the body at conception?’ is meaningless.
I wouldn’t say I agree with this point of view, but its a lot more reasonable.
