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.

 

It wasn't me who said science and religion aren't mutually exclusive, it was you.

In my first reply to you, my point was that giving a purely religious answer to this problem is not going to take us anywhere. The very knowledge about conception and the methods for knowing whether it has occured or not are based on science and they require science to be applied.

 

Yes, but you did tell me to be consistent, implying (I think) that i was vasilating between a pure scientific or religous view., which is why I asked that second question.

It does take us somewhere, especially for anyone who already has a belief in Christianity; for them, it would clarify what and when, which would be progress for them.
