According to theists, god has a purpose for every persons life, even if we don't always know what it is. So what then, is the purpose of the following...
A man and woman decide to retreat from civilization and live in the remote jungle. They have a baby, which no other human knows about. One day, the adults are killed by wild animals, but by incredible chance, the baby is adopted by chimpanzees, and survives to adulthood. The baby, now a man, lives to a ripe old age, and dies of natural causes. He never once encounters civilization or any other human being. For all intensive purposes, no one ever knew he existed.
Of course, the man had no understanding of religion or god. For all intensive purposes, he was no different from the other chimps in the jungle.
This scenario may sound implausible, but feral children have been discovered, so something like this could have happened.
What was god's reason for this life? Why did god create this soul which could never be saved?
