Questions about whether it’s possible God doesn’t create souls for those who won’t be born due to miscarriage, abortion, etc. and how to respond to someone who says, “An egg is not a chicken, so an embryo is not a human.” 

Topics

  • Are souls individually created by God at conception, and if so, is it possible he doesn’t create souls for those who won’t be born due to miscarriage, abortion, etc.?
  • How would you respond to someone who says, “An egg is not a chicken, so an embryo is not a human”?
