Generationism & Traducianism

Generationism:
Theory of the soul wherein Adam was provided a
soul by God when he was created, and he -in turn- passed on soul to
his progeny (who subsequently passed it on to their progeny).

Like Traducianism, Generationism claims the soul originates through
natural propagation. Unlike Traducianism, Generationism holds that
this transmission is a spiritual process ...we acquire our soul at the
same time, but NOT in the same way, as we acquire our bodies.
