Mafoo, while I understand your position, I don't agree with it. Most of the more religious people would tend to think that life begins at conception. I might go so far as to say that it begins before conception,
Jeremiah 1:4-5
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
So... logically based on that, every life is planned and formed by God. If he "knows" you before hand, then at what point do you become a human? The only answer can be conception. This is from a Christian perspective. |
Not to turn this into a religious argument, but you can’t apply logic to a story, and then claim it’s fact.
First you need to determine that that passage is in fact true before it can be used to conclude anything further.

Portions of the Bible have been proven true, and due to the nature of the book the rest we have to assume is either true or false (hence why religion is faith based). As a Christian, you would believe the Bible is fact, and therefore make logical arguments with it. And as she noted, this is from a Christian perspective. So there is nothing wrong with her statment. Those who don't believe the Bible is fact would of course disagree with the argument based on that fact.
We could devolve into a "is the Bible fact" debate, but that is not for here or now.
