Genesis 2:7
"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
So here we have a full human body, trillions of billions of cells, all fully formed, and it's not until he gets the "breath" of life which makes him a soul. Couldn't we infer from this that the soul enters the body upon first breath (outside the womb)?
That would really resolve all those tricky questions theologians haven't been able to answer about the "soul enters at conception" (such as when two conceived "souls" merge into one body and become a chimera), doesn't it?
