“Dr. Adams, you mentioned that dead things do not grow. But then how can you explain how vegetarians will eat plants, which grow, but will refuse to eat animals. And doesn’t self-awareness matter to define what human life is in terms of personhood?”

I’m glad Dr. Adams understood that question. I would have looked at that chick and asked; “What the (bleep) are you talking about? Are you high right now? Shut up and sit down.”
Suppose the legislature passed a law that required all young women under six feet tall to be euthanized. How would you go about defending your life?
I believe it is The Holy Scriptures that states:
Women are found righteous before God in childbirth.
This is Genesis 3:5 in practice... “You shall be like God, knowing good and evil”. The Fine print: good and evil are totally in your own heart and mind, subjective to the moment. So there’s potentially seven billion little “g” gods out there... ALL with possible different and conflicting ideas of “good” and “evil”. Chaos is the fruit!
Most Churches don't even understand the Biblical worldview, particularly its pastoral attributes.
Our church is the counter example. Within the past two years, we have had a series on basic apologetics preached during our regular Sunday services, our head pastor has written a book about apologetics, our women’s ministry is currently undergoing a series about apologetics and our last Sunday service series covered the main themes of the Old Testament to be followed up by a Old Testament seminar. This is in addition to all our regular Bible Studies for men, women, youth and children. For anyone seeking a short, simple, easy to relate, apologetic book for beginners, I would recommend Smooth Stones, by Pr. Joe Coffey. http://www.amazon.com/Smooth-Stones-Bringing-Questions-Apologetics-ebook/dp/B0053YPMN8
