Well, it stands to reason that the vast majority of four-and-a-half year olds were expelled from the body at some point...

But, of course, my point was that a blastocyst is a certain stage in human development, just as a four-and-a-half year old is a certain stage in human development.

Surely, you would agree...

And the last time you saw an "expelled" blastocyst riding a bicycle?

Ahhh. No equivalency intended. Just a rather mundane observation that there is a lot of biological "stuff" that happens in human reproduction and maturation. Thus, an immature spermatogonia is a "certain stage in human development" just as a 25-year old is a "certain stage in human development." Profound.

Do you believe that God has a hand in deciding which of these blastocysts gets expelled without being allowed to develop? When does God put their soul in? Is God a terrible wastrel?
