I would like someone to explain to me when "life begins"

I'm saying that I don't think science and religion are necessarily exculusive.  Also, I was apologizing for what would probably be perceived as an annoying response.

If they aren't mutually exclusive, you should be able to explain what the "spirit" you were referring to is, and how it can exist before consciousness. That's the answer I was looking for when I replied to your post.

 

 

I see.  From my understanding of the Bible, it's a non-physical entity that can make choices, and can exist apart from a physical body.

That takes us back to the question of "where is the science in that?". I'm just asking for some consistency here... Either admit your view is purely religious, or start giving us some definitions which are at least partly scientific.

 

Wait, why do you even want a scientific definition?  When have I been saying it's simply one or the other?  If you want science, I've already said there is a physical body, and one that functions.
