When a person acknowledges that along with our physical bodies we also have souls — an affirmation reached by most non-atheists — one must naturally concede these souls of ours must go somewhere after our last earthly breath is taken.

But to accept the claims of macro-evolution alongside the belief that the human race has souls, one must jump through hoops.
