“Odd” how scientists proclaim to know exactly how life began but are unwilling to on record in the case of a pregnancy to identify WHEN life begins. MILLIONS of observable pregnancies and there is no conclusion.

Well, of course there is the goal of keeping abortion on demand a legal option.

Because that's not a scientific question. Scientists can tell you a lot about how life begins and develops, but the question of when in that process life has begun is a moral, ethical and theological question, not a scientific question.

The proper teaching on creation is found in the Torah, including the reason for the harmonious design of DNA. The Double Helix has much to teach us about Ethics and Sexuality, but this can only be perceived through the lens of a Hebrew understanding of the Universe and can best be expressed in Hebrew. One thing that Christianity did get right is that “In the Beginning was the Word,”. Information always precedes fabrication, Always.

The problem with most evolution theories based on randomness is that they largely depend on mutation. The same people who insist that science should be based on objective observation fail to admit that the overwhelming majority of mutations make a creature less adaptable. I can see certain instances where, perhaps, a genetic predisposition to certain coloration or patterns may make an animal a better hunter or a more difficult prey, but most random mutations adversely impact the health of the organism.
