...and yet another poster claims a continuum of life since the onset of the human species ties all levels of life together as if all levels and nuances are equal.

And yet, Lejeune answers that one pretty convincingly: “Even more impressive, during the maturation of the reproductive cells, the genetic information is reshuffled in so many ways that each conceptus receives an entirely original combination which has never occurred before and will never again. Each conceptus is unique and thus irreplaceable.”

We cannot speak of "equality" with respect to things that are unique. And they are "irreplaceable" because they are unique.

Lejeune is so right to say that anti-life arguments are symptomatic “of a severe disease of spirit,” of frank pneumopathological disorder.

Thanks for the great post, MHGinTN -- and for the ping to this wonderful article!

Wonder why, if people evolved, people have unique fingerprints..
Even twins and quints have unique fingerprints..
What would be gained by that evolving.. unless man didn't evolve at all..
Probably even Chimps have unique fingerprints..

Maybe God signs his master pieces..
