I was always a human. I was never a different species who "turned into" a human at some arbitrary point in my life. My life started at conception, and will end on the day I die. And I was and will continue to be a human being during every bit of it. :-)
If you really want to go that far, your life started as a sperm.
Nope.
My DNA strand, that makes up who I am, started the second egg and sperm met. That is when I came into existence. Not before that.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
