You have a good question.

I honestly don't know, but I'll ask God when I get to heaven. That's just 1 of maybe 10,000 questions or more that I have.

My own personal opinion is that the soul is derived at the time of conception.

Hey, did you know (just a tidbit of interesting information here) that for a living thing to be viable, it only has to split 5 times, thus creating 32 cells from the original? Prior to that, it is considered that the cell is not a viable life. Interesting, eh?

You know what's REALLY interesting? The way the cell splits. It's honestly mind-boggling. In a nutshell, the DNA, which is a double-strand in a helix shape, uncoils itself, then the 2 strands split, then they each "attract" mirror-image proteins (kinda like a magnet) to create a full-length mirror image of itself, then this mirror image (I believe it's the RNA factor) does the very same thing to create a mirror-image of the mirror image, thus forming 2 more strands identical to the original 2 strands of DNA. THEN, these 2 strands, just like the original 2 strands of DNA reconnect, coil themselves up into a helix once again, and then go their separate ways (into 2 individual cells, where there once was only 1 cell). In the meantime, the stuff that made up the RNA gets reabsorbed into the cell and reused later when needed.

Pretty amazing, if you ask me, eh? (And we think something like the Cray supercomputer is amazing??? That's just child's play next to this microscopic phenomenon!!!) God's pretty cool in the way He did all this. :-)

The answer comes from the scriptures of Hinduism.

Conception And Birth

I am often asked, "What is the point at which a soul enters into a new incarnation?" Many advanced souls choose their parents long before conception, electing to live in their homes, especially if the parents worship. Especially if they were relatives in a past life, they want to be born back into those families to work out their karmas. Therefore, a soul may become connected with his mother-to-be long before conception. An unreligious couple that does not seek the inner forces at the moment of conception or slightly before, depending on wherever they are -- in a hospital or hotel -- may attract and draw into the process of incarnation anybody who is magnetized to them. I call this "potluck off the astral plane," even the lower astral. Someone could die in a hospital and, in a motel three blocks down the street, be immediately conceived. If the husband and wife had been fighting and arguing, this could magnetize a child that would not help the family, but instead would disrupt the household. The difference between the two situations is that one family is thinking of the Divine at the time of conception and the other is living an ordinary life with no contact with the inner, spiritual forces.

In either case, when the fetus starts to move in the womb, the soul simultaneously enters and occupies physical life, fully incarnates, or enters flesh. That's when the soul is totally "hooked in," around three or four months. It's there before, hovering near the mother, but not fully connected. The 2,200-year-old Tirumantiram of Rishi Tirumular tells us in verses 453-455 that from the moment of conception a soul is associated with the growing physical form of the infant. He says that at the instant of conception, as vital fluids are released and flow from both parents, the embryo is formed; the twenty-five tattvas rush in and lie concealed within its third eye, ajna chakra. At this point, life begins. For nine months, the embryo, then fetus, develops physically, and the soul that will inhabit the physical form gradually awakens to First-World embodied consciousness, becoming more or less fully conscious of its new physical form at birth.

i can't help but wonder if this is in "politics" because many think politicians have no soul.... not an easy question. seems to me that the sould enters the body at conception, and is a part of that body from that point forward. an all-knowing God has ways to deal with all things, no? perhaps the soul of the child killer gets put into the to-be-aborted?

My answer as a "so called" Christian would be to claim to quote from the "so-called" Bible from Genesis 2:7 "Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul". according to this verse man became a living soul when the breath of God (Spirit) came into contact with the man that God had formed from the dust of the ground. It would lead me to believe that the soul forms at conception when life is given.

I believe the soul enters the body at the moment of conception. I have absolutely no evidence of this, except that I felt an indescribable presence at the moment my daughter was conceived. I would say it was like being touched by an angel, a warm and glowing energy entering my body. I was 18 and unmarried, and family members tried to convince me to have an abortion. I think that feeling was one reason I chose to have her.

However, I am still pro-choice, as I also believe that if that particular body does not work out (through miscarriage or abortion), the soul will have a chance to choose another one. There are no shortage of human bodies on the earth, on the contrary - overpopulation is a huge problem.

I think if a woman decides to terminate her pregnancy, she may suffer emotional consequences, but who is to say that is not a lesson she needed to learn?

I am not a Christian, just a spiritual being having a human experience.

As your first answer pointed out, we ARE our souls. The original-language terms (Heb., ne′phesh [?פנ]; Gr., psy·khe′ [ψυχή]) as used in the Scriptures show “soul” to be a person, an animal, or the life that a person or an animal enjoys.

In the creation account, Moses said that "Man came to BE a living soul". Why does it not say that man came to HAVE a living soul. Or why isn't there a separate account of the creation or infusion of a soul?

ALLAH(SWT) breathes the soul into the unborn at 4 months pregnancy. So then it becomes a human. Before that it is not human because it doesn't have a soul. It's taught in Islam. I'm not sure if it's in the Hadiths or in the Qur'an.

Soul enters the body in the mother's womb:
Psalms 22:9; Yet You are He who brought me forth from the womb; Upon You I was cast from birth; You have been my God from my mother’s womb. Psalms 139:13 For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb.
Ecclesiastes 11:5 Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things. Isaiah 44:2 Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will help you... Isaiah 44:24 Thus says the Lord, your redeemer, and the one who formed you from the womb, the Lord called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he named me. Isaiah 49:5;And now says the Lord, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant ... Jeremiah 1:5; Before I formed you in the womb I knew you.... Luke 1:15; For he (John the Baptist) will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while yet in his mother’s womb. Luke 1:44; For behold, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped in my womb for joy.
