Re the above:
“Q: You define the moment of conception as the second it takes for the sperm and egg to fuse and form a zygote. What were the scientific principles you used to arrive at this conclusion?
Condic: The central question of “when does human life begin” can be stated in a somewhat different way: When do sperm and egg cease to be, and what kind of thing takes their place once they cease to be?”
When do sperm and egg cease to be, and what kind of thing takes their place once they cease to be?
I have never seen a more simple straight forward answer to the question of when does life begin.
If two things cease to exist, and one thing exists from their union and if left alone it becomes you or me how much clearer can it be stated?
Thanks!
Psalm 139 The All-Knowing, Ever-Present God
13 For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother's womb.
14 I will praise You, because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know [this] very well.
15 My bones were not hidden from You when I was made in secret, when I was formed in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw me when I was formless; all [my] days were written in Your book and planned before a single one of them began.
