True, the rational souls is necessary for ALL knowledge once the first human had a soul, but nonetheless this does not preclude morals and ethics, and social behavior evolving as humans as they physically evolved, and the Baha'i writings does consider the mind as separate from the soul and possibly capable of having evolved social behavior, morals and ethics independent of the soul.
Remember the Baha'i writings are specifically clear that the understanding of the writings MUST be interpreted in the light of the evolving knowledge of science.
