We're all special, (but sure as heck could use some improvement)

...The invention of the PCR techniques has led to further refinements of the DNA fingerprinting techniques, which has given science the ability to obtain a human being's DNA fingerprinting – and therefore his or her identity – from a single cell.
There can no longer be any doubt that each human being is totally unique from the very beginning of his or her life at fertilization. (Mark, P. 19-21.)
The significance of methylation of cytosine was unknown until 1985. It has a profound significance in understanding...that the human being is whole and complete at fertilization.
A human being at an embryonic age and that human being at an adult age are naturally the same, the biological differences are due only to the differences in maturity...

“We must keep religion out of our arguments if we expect to win in the political arena. Keep your faith, fine, but trying to convince people to change the law because in The Bible is says such and such is not going to work.”
I agree. My faith affirms what anyone with even half a brain,(religious beliefs aside), should be able to see...that there has to be a starting point for life and that is obviously at conception. I honestly don’t see how anyone can’t see that. It just goes to show you that people will go to great extremes to justify doing things they want to do, even to the point of convincing themselves they are right.
Just remember kids: you’re unique and special, just like everyone else.
I completely agree with you and do not advocate law changes based upon religion. On the other hand, I merely attempt to sharpen the point of the obvious, that there is a Creator.
So, something I read in a book that is later proved to be true .. and that book also teaches a faith, a religion .. that empirically teaches to the believer truth, must be discounted as part of a thought process?
that was funny....
No, don't discount religion in your thought process, but don't use religion as a political argument. That's my point.
Our religion told us it was true long before the science of DNA proved it to be true. I've been trying for 10 years to get DNA into the abortion discussion and I believe we can win by using it, but we'll never make headway as long as the other side can dismiss us as religious fanatics.
As a man thinketh, so is he.
I don't think we can compartmentalize our processes ... truth is not up for arbitration, nor is there one truth for one subject, and another for another.
I understand what you say, I just don't agree.
Judges judge, based on how they think, and the greatest and most admired are those that have a Christian mindset .. thought process.
You can't separate the two.
uh... they’ll go the other way.
A lecturer related that he gave the SLED argument to a group to convince them that there was no difference between a fetus and a born infant.
Two feminists approached him after and told him they’d changed their minds, they were pro-infanticide now.
Ah, sheesh... Denying objective truth is what got us to this point in the first place!
