READ CAREFULLY FROM MY LAST POST:
so this is my final post regarding this matter in any event.
I'm cool w/ that. As long as you now seem to understand that those quotes were perfectly in context, and you completely contradicted yourself.

yes I did, I saw nothing there that I disagreed with, whatsoeverDid you not read Thorns post?
A hypothesis is a formal, testable prediction based on empirical observation.
A scientific explanation for the origins of life would be a theory, not a hypothesis. Why is this concept so difficult for you to grasp?
The only reason science is indisputable on the abortion topic...
Show me where I said science was indisputable on the abortion topic?
All you fucking do is LIE!! Just, LIE LIE LIE, and top it off with more LIES!
You can't fucking type a sentence, without it being a LIE, can you?
Scientific evidence that human life begins at conception, is irrefutable.
Disagree with that, and you disagree with the scientific evidence.
it isn't difficult at all, I agree with that wholeheartedly.....but your speculations regarding the origins of life aren't proven scientific explanations (theories).....they haven't been successfully tested.....they are not hypothesis, because they are not testable.....they are merely speculations.....
you realize that, you know you can't demonstrate them to be hypothesis....that is why you are afraid to actually engage in the debate.....
Life begins at conception, possibly beforehand.
But life does not imply personhood.
recently, a human vegetable was considered non responsive, thought, feeling, etc.....
science said that watermark....but then we have your ever correcting science.....that says different now...what faith you have in a science that needs.....ever correcting.....
Exactly!!
Mott, unless you've constructed a time machine and resolved the space/time continuum issue, enabling you to travel back to the origin of life, you can't test it or observe anything. You can attempt to simulate a speculative scenario, and it might give you some insight in what could have happened, but it may not prove anything. In the end, you have opinionated speculations, based on an agenda-driven ideology. You are doing precisely what you scold 'religious' people for, starting with a conclusion then building preconceived evidence to support it.
but all we'd really need to do is make it happen once to prove that life could arise spontaneously.
If conception took place, a living human organism is produced. Whether it contains the necessary stuff to eventually be born and function as a "normal" human being, remains to be seen, but the moment it is conceived, it becomes what it will always be until termination.
It's not the same thing at all. A human being at conception, already is a "built house" it is just not finished out. All the necessary stuff is there to complete the job, it only requires time. Furthermore, analogies comparing anything less than a human being, cheapen the meaning of a human being. You are comparing a pile of lumber to the remarkable creature known as the human being.
IF the cell aborted, it had to abort from something, correct???? Now think real hard with that limp noodle of yours! I know you can comprehend what the cell could have possibly "aborted" from! LIFE! DING!DING!DING!
If the "cell" (which is now actually multi-celled, after conception) aborts, it logically has to be in the process of something to abort. It aborts from the process began at conception, the life process. Thank you for making my point for me in such an excellent way!
Again, you are wrong. Human life begins at the moment of conception. We do not have to "consider" it, we know this to be a biological fact. YOU continue to assert that it must be "considered" a human life, but that is non-scientific and subjective. Once the female egg cell is fertilized, a radical transformation happens almost immediately, and the cell is no longer a single cell organism. You continue to falsely assert there is a "fertilized cell" and that is an oxymoron. There is what once was an unfertilized egg cell, but now it is a multi-cell living organism called a human being. Nothing further has to be concluded, nothing has to be determined, it already IS what it IS!
If the cells "do not make it" this can only mean they were living and died. Thanks once again for making my point that a "fertilized female egg" is a human life.
Because there is no other point in time where any other ingredients are obtained during the pregnancy. If the cell stopped growing, it was alive. If it was living, it must be some kind of living organism. If it is living inside a female human, and is the result of a conception between a male human sperm cell and female human egg cell, it is most likely a human organism, nothing in science leads us to believe any other alternative on that. If it is a human organism in the state of being, it is a human being.
Biology 101, Science 101. There is nothing absurd about my knowledge of facts.
*sigh* If it "didn't grow past that point" it had to be living before that point. Science has already determined what form of living organism it is at that point. Once it dies, it is no longer a living human organism.
It doesn't matter why something dies, that doesn't mean it wasn't ever alive. If the critter was alive at any point, it was a HUMAN LIFE, it can't be anything else, science doesn't support it being anything else. Either present some fucking evidence or stop trying to argue this absurd point.
Until YOU can stop pretending that science hasn't determined when human life begins, we can't really have any debate on the issue of abortion. You have adopted an anti-science viewpoint regarding biological facts, and you refuse to acknowledge them, so there is no point in arguing further.
Here we go again.Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life. .
At all phases of the lifecyle, A living human organism is a human being.
You're apparently ignorant of science, apple, and that's sad for you.
Sure.You mean Jeffery Dahmer, don't you?
Of course it does.apple0154:Here we go again. Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life.
Back to square one. Let's look at the definition of "organism".
Medical Dictionary. Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/organism
Take note of the last part. "a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."
We don't know if every fertilized cell has the organs, organelles, or other parts necessary. Again, until it can be determined one way or another it's reasonable to conclude most fertilized cells do not have the necessary organs, organelles, or other parts because over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life. They do not keep dividing and growing. They do not carry on the processes of life.
What part of that are you having difficulty with?
We don't know if all the necessary stuff is there. Again, over 50% do not pass that stage. "Construction" stops.
If the cell had the necessary parts to carry on the processes of life why would it abort? Although we don't know for sure it's reasonable to conclude it does not have the necessary parts because logic dictates that if it did it would not self-abort.
It is what it is and sometimes it isn't anything more than human living tissue. If it was a human being then it would grow and be born.
Yes, they were living and died just as all other cells in our body live and die. That does not mean they were/are a human life anymore than skin cells. If they were human life they would have grown and a human being would have been born.
"If it was living, it must be some kind of living organism." That is an assumption and most likely wrong as over 50% do not carry on the functions of a living organism.
What is absurd is your conclusions. All human life may start at conception but that does not mean all conceptions are human life. Once again, I ask, "What are you having problems with?" I explained this before. All "A"s may be "B"s but that does not mean all "B"s are "A"s. Somewhere along the way you missed that part of your education.
It had to be living but that does not mean it was an organism. Science has not determined whether the over 50% of fertilized cells that spontaneously aborted were organisms.
Again, let's take a look at the definition of organism. YES, LETS! Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."
In over 50% of the cases fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life so why would you say all fertilized cells are organisms? Does the word "logic" mean anything to you? The term "common sense"?
I have provided circumstantial evidence. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life and carrying on the processes of life is crucial for something to be considered an organism.
Here we go again.Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life. Every trip to the grocery store begins with the person leaving their house. That does not mean every time a person leaves their house they are going to the grocery store.
Do you know anyone who is a teacher? Do you have children in school? You need someone to explain to you the examples I've provided. You're having difficulty understanding a basic concept.
