[Invincibly Ignorant]

But on my original point. What Scriptural proof do we have that life begins at conception? My previous post was merely my opinion, I would love to see something definitive.

Why do ya need proof? If it does its a pretty serious matter if you're on the wrong side. If it doesn't, no harm no foul.

Agreed. But the point was originally started as an example of a part of our mission here on earth that was defined primarily after the closing of Scripture (in the case of the RCC, because the authority of the church claimed that it was so). It would show that Scripture was suffiecient for our salvation, but not necessarily complete within itself for all Christian needs - and thus a Church which can speak with authority is something that Christ had reason to institute. We agree on the belief. Now we need to determine whether it was the Holy Spirit still at work in the growth of His Church, or an idea that is contained in Scripture.

This brings up an interesting thought. It's kind of ironic that when scientists find traces of organisms on another planet, they say that they have discovered that life once existed on that planet and most of the world agrees with them or at least takes them at their word. Yet, when a woman has an "organism" in her womb, there are those that say it's not a life, it's just a blob of cells.

Silly, isn't it?
