What is it about?

I offer up a new theory on the soul's origin, or, more modestly, a more finely grained version of creationist-dualism. I explore one variant of soul-creation, which is not to be confused with William Hasker's version of emergent substance dualism. Hasker's version of dualism seems to yield a version of material creation, whereas my option offers a view that accounts for emergentist elements and Divine action.

Why is it important?

It is important because it motivates the discussions on the origin of souls and advances one fresh theory of the soul's origins.
