So where do souls come from when babies are born? If they aren't created then how are they in that baby? Wouldn't that mean that babies soul existed prior to its birth?

The act of copulation resulting in conception would happen as a result of a new soul being created.
Please go lock yourself in a library for a week and study the subject

That would result in new souls being created every day and then what did you say happens to these souls as they exit the body? Giish, the heaven world must be getting full by now.
Either that or you subscribe to the death of the soul upon the death of the body, in which case why even discuss souls at all if we are going to subscribe to this scientific materialism? Do you subscribe to the "one life once chance and then you are just gone" sort of thing?

I don't know who Big Boy Blue is??? Unless you are referring to a storybook character.
Why do you think heaven would be crowded if there is no reincarnation?

I was making light of your suggestion that souls are created anew each time a baby is born. I suppose that could be in a world where there is infinite space. Are there an equal number of these souls in he$$ too? Or do you just think souls are born and then die with the body? That would just be so haphazard in my view. It makes much more sense for souls to grow and develop with each succeeding incarnation and finally get to where they can have their final Samadhi as Paramansa Yogananda did. But who am I to say?

You sound like a real dick you know? All I did was ask a few questions and you start attacking me personally. Are you insecure about something?
So having sex is the result of a soul being created and not the other way around? Where is your book that states this? I'm assuming this has been proven, which is why you told me to lock myself in a library? If it hasn't been proven then I fail to see how me being locked in a library would change anything.

No, I do not think Divinity is finite. However, I think Divinity still might have some sense of practicality and utility where the creation of new souls is concerned. I am just steeped in traditional views of reincarnation. Typically that means Hindu philosophy, as Christianity only vaguely refers to it, and even so, we are here discussing whether or not that is actually the case.

Not that I expect you to speak for god, , but, why in your opinion, would a soul's first experience ever, be the fleeting and confusing experience of a lifetime on earth, no matter how long or short, only to be sent to eternity on a heavenly plain or condemned to hell?
Why is there so much inequality on earth, if everything is the same cut and dry for everyone. One life, believe a story and go to heaven, don't believe and go to hell.

Apparently you do not understand what you are reading in the vedas.
Inequality is subjective to your point of view materially.
It also depends on what you believe about spirit in the first place.
For example what are the origins of spirit? Why do they exist?
