-----I am ending on this point, do we not know nature is profligate? Nature sheds millions of fertilised eggs every day. Do people not believe in God? Would they not leave to God the question of the soul and the ensoulment, whether it is at three days, 169 days or whatever? God is well able to look after a soul, wherever it comes from and wherever it is going to, and it is an impertinence for us to cause fellow human beings to suffer because of our self-righteousness. It is too bad if that is not respectful enough.
