Global Warming Vs. Abortion - True or False

We have more evidence for life at conception than for man made global warming.

It's not a comparison,... but thanks.

The poll question basically comes down to "which is most supported (in your opinion) by scientific facts?" Life begins at conception or Global Warming?
I already answered this question and explained why global warming is supported by science (while "life begins at conception" cannot be supported by science).

You asked a question, but you ignored any direct answers to your question and refuse to support your assertion with facts. Why?

As you ignored my link from Princeton.

That's not a link from Princeton. It's from Princeton's pro-life student group.

Here is the parent directory :

The majority of universities in America have pro-life student groups and don't issue official university opinions on such matters.

He ignored this:

False. Life at conception is a spiritual argument and therefore cannot be "proven". From a biological perspective (which is the only one which matters in law), a fetus/embryo is not a human so it is fact that human life does not begin at conception.

It is also fact that man-made global warming exists to a certain degree, as has been established by science. So the discussion is now moot (if it had any point to begin with other than a strawman).
 
But, the million dollar question is: is it constitutionally protected human life?

And the answer to that is: no, not until it's viable.

Actually, that question is completely irrelevant to what the OP is asking.

The OP asks if it's human life. Not if it's conscious human life, constitutionally protected life, if it's a sapien...non of that.

Your liver is "human life" and meets the narro scope of the OP's question.
 
And this one has three. So it's important to know which of the three meanings he's referring to when he says that life begins at conception.

Not unless this is a very medically technical discussion, no.

If you think it applies to some uses but not others, then you would do better to set aside the lame word games and simply state "it doesn't work for fertilization but it does work for implantation, unless there's a spontaneous miscarriage...".

Define X is stupid, it shows you can't debate.
 
5. The sun rises and sets every day ( Fact or Opinion).
The quiz says fact. Wrong. The Sun doesn't actually rise or set. The Sun is stationary and the Earth rotates bringing the Sun into view and removing it from view.

It goes on...

The quiz needs to learn what a FACT is.

Wrong. The sun is not stationary. It in fact does move. It rotates around the galaxies center. It is no more in the same spot 1 second ago than we were. :sun:devil:

That's not even comparable. Human-caused global warming is either fact or not fact. When human life "begins" is a subjective matter of judgement.

This explains my feelings exactly. One is a matter of fact, the other a matter of opinion.
 
A organism is created by the merging of two other organisms at conception. That newly formed organism eventually drastically evolves until it is what we consider a human being.

The question is. When is this organism considered Human and not just the possibility of becoming Human?
Does that "organism" have the potential to become anything but a human?

It has the potential to become nothing more then what it currently is as well has the possibility of one day becoming a Homosapien.

My sperm has the potential to become Human too, given the right circumstances. Does that mean it should be considered "life"?
 
Too right. Poor wording on my part. I should have said Homo sapien.

If you were going to "begin" a new homo sapien's life,... what is the first biological event that you would have to successfully achieve?

In short,.. "when does an individual homo sapien's aging process begin?"

The creation of sperm and the creation of the egg of the mother. Without those first steps there is no chance of conception.

The creation of sperm and the creation of the egg of the mother. Without those first steps there is no chance of conception.

So, an individual homo sapien's aging process begins when the sperm and egg are created?

Do you have any references to support this claim?
 
The same thread everywhere.

There is not enough evidence that life begins at conception. It all depends on how you define what life is. For some people, life is a fertilized egg. Some folks think fertilized eggs are sentient.
 
Right,... so when (if not at and by conception) does re-production occurr?

The process of reproduction starts at conception and takes months to complete. In the end, if all goes well, you have a Homo sapien.
 
From a sociological standpoint,....

Isn't it amazing the this thread is consumed and emotionally charged over the "beginning of life" side of my poll question,.... posts that get down to the tiniest and most technical details,....

But not a question one about the 'theories' of man made global warming.

Fascinating stuff!

Get out. You know perfectly well your narrow minded interest is abortion, not global warming, chuzz.
