Where do souls come from?

Are they created when your born (or conceived) , or is there a place where they are just waiting for a body?

I've never really heard a good explanation of how souls come to be. All belief systems welcome.

Update:

So they live for an eternity, but they don't begin living until a defined point in time?

Update 2:

I'm kind of looking for a more in depth explanation. As in one supported by some sort of reference or logical model;something more than a one liner.

    hmmm.. im not too sure how to define a soul. In fact no living person is . But i did , however, come across a very interesting theory that may ring true. Our bodies are an aspect of the physical world. You dont have to be a christian or a theist to believe that there is more than just a physical part to the human being.. Most people think that spirits and all that other stuff has to do with "God" but that is not true. So we have a physcial being.. But humans are made up of mostly energy. JUs as the sun, stars, ect. Engery creates heat. when our physical bodies "die" we turn cold. Our physical bodies act as a vessel, or a holding place for the engergy that humans consist of.... So when our physical bodies die.. the engery has to go somewhere. See energey cannot DIE. It cannot be destroyed only displaced.

    With that being said and to answer your question... I believe a "Soul" is the equivalent of energy..

    You can sort of play around the the rest and more detailed answer at your own risk

    The bible says that when he created Adam he became a living soul so his physical body once life was breathed into became a soul. So for humans when they conceive that's when the baby becomes a soul or person @ ps. 139:16 Jehovah says he saw the embryo of David.

    The technical "beginning" of the Soul is a Holy Monadic "cellular" from which a unmarried ray of the Spirit-Ego-Self is projected outward, passing by the Archangelic theory of "guy" into the Worlds of Separation (Earth). The soul (this "ray of Spirit") precedes any fabric form, in any way. imagine of sunlight shining on a house ("Spirit" - everywhere, all modern-day), which passes by a window and is formed (into the theory of guy). The ray from the window to the dusty floor is the Soul (proper, and of a similar substance as Spirit). The dusty floor is our modern-day-day personality, which must be saved sparkling and spotless. The Spirit-Soul-Ego-Self Itself is immortal, eternal, indestructible, and Divine; it has no starting up nor end, at the same time with after the shortcoming of life of the gross fabric body. lower back to the Holy Mondic "cellular"; there are trillions (previous any knowable type) interior of Absolute Autarchy ("God"), and there are others that originate from a similar "cellular" as well (a number of which, once you meet in this lifetime, resonate with your or, however "you sense like you've continuously effortless them") finally, we do not "have" Souls. this is extra maximum acceptable to state our Souls, shaped after passing by the theory of Divine guy (and woman, for sure), "have" this body for a short era of time earlier being re-projected in next incarnations to acquire further experience and worthwhile classes.

    When you are born your soul begins to grow. It grows as you make decisions and respond to the things in your life. Your soul is who you are in your heart. You know there is more in your heart than you can show others. Your spirit helps others know your soul.

    God created man. Male and female created He them. He told us to multiply. He made it possible for us to create others.

    Science will soon discover a fifth force in the universe. This fifth force is in another quantum dimension and is the basic building block of spiritual energy....souls. Read up on Quantum thermodynamics.

    Souls are created when a human life starts.

    There's no need to recycle them, - so re-incarnation is out the window.

    But whether they exist before a life starts is inconsequential. The fact that they're eternal is the real kicker.
