This thread is awkward for me. On the one hand, I'm against abortion. On the other, I feel dirty when my mouse hovers over jstrodel's kudos button.

It's almost as if, when he's not talking about how loving and gentle and benevolent he is, god is reminding us that he intends to turn most of us into little red smears on the bottom of his loving, godly feet. He's all about the warm and fuzzy, that Yahweh!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

No they are not indiviuals. it is part of a individual. there is a difference. "A person seprate from other persons and posseing his or her own needs or goals." wiki. and it is her responsibility to choose whether or not to allow the ftus to develop into a person. Her responsibilty to choose to accept futher responsibilty for the care of a human once it has developed from the fetus.

Because of this :

To me, a person exists from conception... it's how I've come to understand it. You define it differently: after fetus.

The new human is existant from conception. It is never a human 'somewhere along the line'. The information that makes it into the human being is all right there in the fertilised egg. Mum does nothing more than facilitate it's development: her body feeds it and provides a host environment that helps it to develop.

And how does this in any way prove that the authority described in your book exists in any kind of way?

Let alone that mankind is obliged to follow it, in case of it`s existance?!
