Does God continuously produce Souls?
 
Does God produce soul after soul after soul continuously as each baby or fetus is born, with each one eventually ending up in Heaven or Hell or Pergatory?

Do you really think that there is someone on this board who can possibly answer this question? Granted, Splendour will reply with a bunch of bible quotations, but that doesn't really count.

Well, according to Hindus and Buddhists, souls get recycled.

To be fair, I often get amused just wondering what Splendour will say if she contributes to a thread. This is exactly the kind of question I hope she has an answer for.

I'd actually be curious to know if the various religions have answers to this. Is a soul created at conception? Are they all created and just kind of hanging around waiting for their proverbial bus to come in? Perhaps we could even ask what is the point of having an eternal soul and a body that just works for a blink of an eye. Seems kind of silly. But when I want to know silly, I look to Splendour.

Any Christian who answers this is just making guesswork. These answers are not contained in the Bible.

Soul is a pretty wide term. I think it can mean anything from a clearly defined 'self' outside our bodies (like in many theistic variants) to 'something about us I don't think we can explain (yet)'

Do you mean a spiritual soul not based on material properties or do you mean something based on material properties which would qualify as 'self' in some mysterious way?

Soul production is discrete, not continuous.
