In the time of Aristotle, it was widely believed that the human soul entered the forming body at 40 days (male embryos) or 90 days (female embryos), and quickening was an indication of the presence of a soul.
Hence, in Fenwick’s view, the brain does not create or produce consciousness; rather, it filters it. As odd as this idea might seem at first, there are some analogies that bring the concept into sharper focus. For example, the eye filters and interprets only a very small sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum, and the ear registers only a narrow range of sonic frequencies. Similarly, according to Fenwick, the brain filters and perceives only a tiny part of the cosmos’ intrinsic “consciousness.”
But im sure loads of religious nutters will chine in and disagree.

This is a great question. If people could see what goes on in a place where abortions are performed in other dimensions, they would never consider it. The damage caused by disrupting the original path of life can be significant. People can refuse to believe whatever they want, but they would never ever do it if they knew. The suffering can be great and that debt must be repaid.
However I believe many a human being is born without a soul.
Psychopathy and extreme narcissism are said to replace entropy
in this skewed human being. I've read this phenomena is almost
certainly a result of a difference (not a mutation) in genetics.
Also it does make sense that lacking
a soul they are incapable of any concept of deity. So they are almost
always are atheists.
And I'm not an atheist, im on the fence, we have been through this before.
Well, that's convenient.
So, you believe that the soul naturally arises from reproductive biological chemical reactions, unless there's defect a in fetal development that omits empathy from the mix?
