Does the idea of an immortal soul trace back to what Satan told Eve?
Apparently not. Satan told Eve that she would not die, not that she would only appear to die. Any false religious ideas would not have survived the Flood. Belief in an immortal soul likely came about before God scattered the people who were building the tower of Babel.—w19.12, p. 15.
