So if each fertilized egg had a soul, what happened to the extra soul if she only has one today.

At this point, I am confident that I am understanding the situation and what you are asking. And again, I have to say that I believe that you are assuming that because she began with "two fertilized eggs", that each therefore must have had a soul. But, I've tried to answer that issue by saying that God is directly responsible for the creation of each individual person's soul. Further, these "two fertilized eggs" just didn't happen on their own, but were also part of God's eternal foreordination. That being true, then the "two fertilized eggs" are a moot point as would also be the case if theoretically she developed from 10 fertilized eggs. The Creator's purpose in bringing about this individual was admittedly unique, but since God's design was to create this PERSON, there was only one soul involved and given to the "two fertilized eggs" which He joined together to create this woman. Does THAT help?

In His Grace,
