Where do all the souls come from?

Question

So, in Christianity, there is no soul recycling, so there are more and more souls over time. Where do they come from?

Are souls always separate or do they all come from a common soul-well? 

Does the union of two souls on earth act as a spark to start a new soul? 
Perhaps it pops into existence from some other realm like nightcrawler, or perhaps the spark acts as a magnet, drawing soul materials to it until it forms a complete soul. If so, could you determine a child's future goodness depending on the love between their parents(a stronger love perhaps creating a stronger soul-stuff magnet?)?

Are all souls identical? If not, does god choose which one goes where, or is it random?


Just wondering about general opinions on soul stuff. I don't care if you use logic, knowledge, or opinion. You don't really even need to keep it in reference to Christianity, though that is where my question sprang from.

In traditional Christian mythology, they come from the Guff - aka the well of souls.

A soul is a real you, think it as a kind of energy. This energy increases/decreases in strength from other sources. This energy is linked to something called evolution. 
When this soul is in your body-you are then alive, in this state your soul needs to enchance its energy. 
The superenergy-evolution helps u do that. 
Evolution measures everything that u do and tags their strength. This strength adds/deducts to the strength of your soul.
Evoluion is very important here. Like I said Ulimately all your strength that u 
derive for your soul is dependent on Evolution. now the question is, 
 How does evolution rate the task that you do. It rates them things like 
your physical health, what you eat-consume, what profession you are in, 
what constructive/destructive you do to help superenergy-evoulution sustain/strengthen,
and so on. Hope this has helped- Roshan P

God created you because he loves you. He knew you before your parents were born. He gave you to your parents and their love for each other and you determined somewhat the strength of your love ability, but that is not always the case. God will sometimes give a loving soul to unloving parents, or vis-versa. All are individual.

Well it would take a book to explain this one. There are no souls but one spirit. We like to think we are that special but we are just one piece of the human puzzle. I am what you hate and your the one I love and so on. Death only exists so life seems important. Our mind is like an iceberg, 80% of it is hidden under water.

Much as god is an invention by man, so the soul also does not exist. It is also an invention to explain to ancient man how he travels to the equally as non-existent heaven - invisibly (of course!!)
Thus, dismiss all your concerns about the subject. You are discussing nonsense in a serious fashion, which, in itself, is rather pointless.

Souls are formed at the moment of human conception.  They live forever after that.

They come from God, He knows us before we are in the womb, He knits us together there. Read the bible if you really want to know the answers, they are in there.

"Soul" is just a synonymn for "mind" or "life." It is not some magical entity dwelling inside a human body.
