    Now that the abbreviations are precisely defined, let
    me take on one of them, and a question that comes to
    my mind.

    These days I read my way through some good books all
    written by authors holding a TE viewpoint. I certainly
    enjoy the reading, but there is one issue I just can't
    find in these books, and that is the spirited/souled
    man as made in God's image (God breathed his spirit
    into the nostrils of man etc.). It is perfectly fine
    with me that man is a product of an evolving nature,
    but how do TE's account for man being a creature with
    a soul/spirit? I mean, how did the soul of man evolve?
    Can biological evolution explain that? And, if not,
    who can?

    I guess this question is not first time raised here,
    but to me it is new and pressing, so even if this
    issue was solved years ago, can somebody give me a
    short introduction?
