I don't think souls are "made." They/we just ARE. I am holding no opinion as to whether we remain distinct individuals throughout all time - seems to me the definitions of time and even what distinct means are too complicated for the question. But the fact (if it is a fact - I assume it is) that there are more human beings on earth than ever before doesn't necessarily imply that there is a cosmic womb constantly pumping out new ones, or a master artist designing them endlessly, never repeating. It could indicate instead that more souls have chosen to manifest here than has happened at one time before. If so, there is probably a reason.
