Different question. Yes, an offspring's parents can (potentially) be determined by its DNA - because it is a copy of some combination of its parents...
No they do not contemporaneously share body cells. You mean something other than what you are asking.
I take your words literally, Mags. I think you mean connected, not literally physically a part of me. Or you might mean metaphysically a part of me,...
I've never registered because it's a great excuse to get out of jury duty
Sounds like you are about to make an argument for Buddhism : ) A person is obviously connected to their offspring in many ways. As to being an...
Given to us makes sense. "Used throughout the entire process" seems odd and unnecessary. The entire process prior to the emergence of homo sapiens...
Neither of us have any idea what you mean by this, and it doesn't attempt to answer the question of what's the benefit for a Christian to insist...
You lost me again. Sounds like you're saying something like only species in the direct lineage of homo sapiens had souls, or maybe individual animals...

the end result does not exist during the process, though. it by definition emerges at the end. Has nothing to do with measurability. Also when...
obviously humanity hasn't been a part of evolution until relatively recently This seems nonsensical. Are you saying you think a soul is something...
What do you mean by "it"? You said animals don't have souls. Obviously the evolutionary lineage leading to modern humans consists of animals for the...
Doesn't seem like you're reading what I write. What exactly is it you think I'm claiming that you don't agree with?
What claim is that? All I said was the prevailing thinking among Christians who believe in evolution is souls were not the result of the physical...
You don't think what way? You think non-sentient species have souls and God is concerned about not interfering in their free will?
I don't think free will is relevant. Most Christians who subscribe to theistic evolution believe that God imparted "souls" to homo sapiens when he...
There are gaps in our understanding of the evolutionary mechanism itself that God could still be hiding in. It's possible God could have been or...
Nolan McCollum!
Theism and evolution are logically compatible, but the implications of evolution certainly undermine the tenets on which Catholicism and other...
