“Here is never before seen actual time lapse video of obama’s conception.”

Video taken during an amateur proctology exam in some Hawaiian/Kenyan bathhouse?
In other words...you are not likely to have been born, and now more likely to be aborted than ever. So, every life kinda almost is sort of precious. Hmm.
Amen.
When I first learned the basic process when I was about seven or so (how did the baby get in there?), I never thought to look into it further. I thought about my own creation that God must have picked just the sperm he wanted and caused it to penetrate the egg. That's pretty naive lol.
Yes, that is pretty much so.
Considering the number of fertilized eggs that cannot become embryos, and the number of embryos that die within a few weeks, and the number of surviving embryos that are then murdered by their own mothers--the chance that a baby will be born after a conception is 10% or less. Every one of us is incredibly lucky to be here.
You're welcome.
You do not have to believe that the book of Genesis is a literal account of the beginning of earth and life in order to believe in a creator. The science clearly shows that Genesis is *not* a literal account.
But you can see the signs of a creator, if you look to the laws of physics. The laws of physics are absolute and unchangeable, and it is those laws, operating on the level of the smallest bits of matter, that make life and everything we know it possible. I think that's pretty amazing.
It does conflict with my faith. That belongs on a religion thread, I know. And I haven't kept up very well with science which I should. Anthropology was a big stumbling block for me and my faith.
Thank you again for the help in understanding sperm and eggs. I think about those sometimes but never get anywhere with it. Now today after your first response, I start wondering how the sperm know where to go. Upstream (easier if lying down?). They have to get through the cervix, the uterus, swim up a fallopian tube, one with an egg and not the other, then for one lucky one, the little explosion. Then I ask myself maybe we could train them to swim the other way and out. Well, that happens, too, indirectly.
So it seems a contradiction, both random and following some directional force at the same time. I don't want to get too graphic, but some have much better odds. I guess salmon know where to swim upstream when it's time to spawn so who am I to question how they know? It's observable so we know that it is true for salmon. It's still another of those amazing mysteries.
