    I would rather kids learn there is a theory that everything was potentially created by a loving God and the science behind it

    lol, I would love to see that "science"...

    and if you're ok with teaching that "theory", what's wrong with teaching other theories?

    Are we talking 757-200 wife body jets or A380 wife body jets?  There’s a big difference between the two and need to know where your standards lie.

    built for speed or comfort?

    Psalm 139:13-16 

    For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.

    that's great, but in the same way you probably don't base your life on lord of the rings books, a good amount of us consider the bible/any religious text to be complete fiction. 🍻

    if you want to life your life based on those principles, have at it.

    Now you're talking complete shit. there is universal agreement by medical and scientific communities that human life is present the moment of conception. The only discussion might be the term "person". You might not like that fact anymore than I like the idea that "person"hood can be debated, but its established fact.

    cool. again, please provide a (valid) reference.

    You're grasping at straws. There are logically consistent arguments for abortion but you choose not to use those. A zygote is a living organism with unique, human DNA. 

    we're discussing whether it's considered 'living'...your viewpoint isn't as universally accepted despite how much you want it to be.

    "As the usable responses began to come in, I found that 5,337 biologists (96%) affirmed that a human’s life begins at fertilization, with 240 (4%) rejecting that view. The majority of the sample identified as liberal (89%), pro-choice (85%) and non-religious (63%). In the case of Americans who expressed party preference, the majority identified as Democrats (92%)."

    the author of that opinion article couldn't be biased...

    sorry, a collection of random quotes doesn't mean shit just because it has 'princeton.edu' in the URL

    Pretty simple. He’s using a parallel example of Mars to show the error in your/society’s whimsical definition of “life.”

    you should let the folks at NASA know you figured it out!

    Quote

    The big question – Is there life beyond Earth? – comes with an ironic asterisk: we don't really have a universally accepted definition of life itself.

    My apologies for the thread derailment. I made no mention of an egg fertilized, fried, or scrambled. I just said a single or multicellular organism. It's a simple question. 

    Rog...they say they found life/evidence of life. What's your point?

    It's a very simple question and I'm not sure what more clarification I could add. The discovery of a single cell or multi-cell organism on another planet would be defined by scientists as?

    I'm inferring (again) you posit this regarding 'life' on another planet equating a fertilized egg as being alive? is that correct?

    edit: this is a huge derailment from the current thread...this probably needs its own (never-ending) thread to continue 🍻

    If the mars rover had the capability and it found a single cell organism or, more impressively, a multicell organism on that distant planet, all the scientists on this planet would say we have discovered what?  A)  A non-viable mass.  B)  an inconvenience  C)  life.  

    can you clarify what you mean here?

    1- The state isn't making that decision to abort a pregnancy, typically it's the mother. If we were looking at state-directed abortion or sterilization, then you have a point here, but that's not the case

    So I'd rather defer the choice from government to the individual, to make the choice that is right for them, rather than have the government dictate what to do.

    i was trying to say these things without writing a book...thanks. :beer:

    I’ve read your statement several times. I don’t understand your point alone or as related to the quote you are quoting. Could you please explain what you mean?

    Sure. Abortion is an individual decision. @bfargin quoted the constitution and bolded 'life' implying it referred to abortion. I highlighted "nor shall any state" because it doesn't apply to an individuals actions, only the state.

    I'm pretty sure he doesn't even know what he meant. I left any "religious belief" out of everything I wrote, and last time I checked a "person" is an individual.

    🤨

    The Constitution, science, logic, and religion all agree on abortion.

    Science and logic usually don't agree with religion on anything. Let me know if I incorrectly inferred what you were saying (that the constitution, science, logic, and reason are all against abortion).

    This has nothing to do with individual choices. Also, your religious beliefs are irrelevant.
