And how come your soul is an idiot and can't do anything useful after getting shoved into a body unlike say a gazelle or a precocial bird which can walk or fly around immediately?

Just because your body is unable to be controled does not make the soul an idiot. Making the choice to be human that may qualify a soul for the ranks of idiocy. Old religious books indicate there is a place called the GUFF from wence babys come to inhabit new life. Many believe it is a choice situation others that it is an appointment and some that it is a punishment, my guess is that there are different answers for different souls. Many believe God has a part or whole descresion in these placements but the real truth is we do not know for sure. Feel free to look around, are you being rewarded or punished?

Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." (Genesis 2:7) Clearly, the soul is not what a man has but what he is. The Hebrew word used here for soul is ne'phesh. It occurs some 700 times in the Bible, and it never refers to a separate and ethereal part of a human but always to something tangible and physical.—Job 6:7; Psalm 35:13; 107:9; 119:28.
What happens to the soul at death? Consider what happened to Adam at his death. When he sinned, God told him: "You [will] return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return." (Genesis 3:19) Think of what that means. Before God created him from the dust, Adam did not exist. After his death, Adam returned to the same state of nonexistence.
Simply stated, the Bible teaches that death is the opposite of life. At Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, we read: "The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going."
This means that the dead are unable to do or feel anything. They no longer have any thoughts, nor do they remember anything. The psalmist states: "Do not put your trust in nobles, nor in the son of earthling man, to whom no salvation belongs. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish."—Psalm 146:3, 4.
The Bible clearly shows that at death the soul does not move on to another body, but it dies. "The soul that is sinning—it itself will die," the Bible emphatically states. (Ezekiel 18:4, 20; Acts 3:23; Revelation 16:3) Thus, the doctrine of the immortality of the soul—the very foundation of the theory of reincarnation—does not find any support in the Scriptures. Without it, the theory collapses. What, then, explains the suffering we see in the world?

The correct question is when does a soul get a body.
The soul is eternal, the body is temporal and it's not the job of the soul to learn how to walk and talk.
By the way no bird can fly immediately, the parents help them learn.

When you buy one on Ebay. I'm having a special sale this week. Two souls for the price of one. I'm sorry, but I'm all out of used souls from the Bush Administration. They all sold theirs years ago.

let s see i think all souls are old souls but you have to be cleansed of your former life before you are to reenter the world start back from scratch least that s what i believe and the moment of conception would be when the soul has entered the new life

you may no longer sell your soul. Your soul is already decrease than bondage and offered out to devil. with the help of nature, this is the situation for each individual. If a individual will become stored, then their soul is made alive (indwelled with the help of God) and that individual is now no longer decrease than bondage to sin (of their soul existence).

You get a soul when you finally understand the music known as the blues.
Sounds as plausible as anything else I've read.

At birth. You begin to learn and experience sight, sounds, tastes, etc., and that makes you individually you!! The the limit of what you learn to do is up to you.
