@Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA It's a subcategory of single celled person. You agree that single celled people exist, right?

@BigRickSatchels @WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Have you defined a haploid human yet?

The pro-life position has absolutely nothing to do with "making women into baby factories." It has everything to do with not killing a human who already exists.

@Fonz476again @djsworld2012 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Weird that a book of objective moral truth would be cool with masters beating their slaves and owning their slave's children. The Bible had no problem condemning pork eating, which was even more widespread at the time. The entire argument is completely disingenuous.

@BigRickSatchels @djsworld2012 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Slavery here was regulated within ancient Near Eastern norms (common across cultures), often tied to war, debt, or poverty rather than racial ideology. The key issue you have is "Endorses" vs. regulates. The texts provide rules for a pre-existing institution

@Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @djsworld2012 @GeigerEmilyA Here's a good starter on the concept of legal personhood. An adequate explanation is probably longer than a couple of Tweets.

@WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @djsworld2012 @GeigerEmilyA Says who?

@Fonz476again @djsworld2012 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA I'm definitely not an atheist. Part of the reason why I find the forced birth argument so disgusting is the arrogance of it's proponents that they have access to the One True interpretation of biology and religion. It's hubris and arrogance disguised as "protecting the unborn".

@djsworld2012 @BigRickSatchels @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Pretty much. That and anything to deny God's existence. They seem to go hand in hand.

@imPenny2x Why do you get mad when people tell you that Odin is real?

Why do people get mad if you tell them God is real?

@Gorilla91267617 @krussi34 @darwintojesus This is a good take on the subject. A little bit dated, but still interesting. The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution | Oxford Academic share.google/q0fnG3wJcc37ki…

@krussi34 @darwintojesus To be fair his information argument can be taken on its own, its just the constant protein folding math argument needs to be updated and perhaps reconsidered in light of systems biology. The point is the proteins fold because of laws.

If we find information in a radio signal from space, we treat it as evidence of a mind. But when we find vastly more complex information inside a cell, we’re told intelligence can’t even be considered. Why?

@Gorilla91267617 @krussi34 @darwintojesus The point is that cdesign proponetists are incapable of arguing in good faith. It's part of their quest to shrink the divine down small enough to squeeze it into human ignorance.

@krussi34 @darwintojesus Why not a bunch of different gods? The evidence is exactly the same.

I think existence itself, as well as the constant flow of time are evidence of some fundamental consciousness more so than the complexity of a cell. When you’re talking time frames in the billions of years complexity can slowly develop. I think the more interesting thing as a Christian is to acknowledge as to why these processes even take place. And from a contingency standpoint, I think it’s very clear there is intelligence behind the process. But I don’t think we need to undermine the process itself that is taking place. That being said, the primordial soup theory is kind of outdated at this point. They claim the Earth is 4.5 billion years old and that the first signs of life are 4.3 billion years ago…. Which kind of self defeats the billions of years to develop theory. I think it’s most likely that life arose through some unknown more precise process elsewhere in the universe and was brought to Earth via asteroid where it further developed into what we see today. And this entire thing is orchestrated by an intelligent being. I don’t prescribe to the interpretation that God ex nihilo created all living creatures in their current form 4000 years ago. The evidence from DNA analysis is just too overwhelming to conclude that. Even Richard Dawkins believed this until he thought it was too cringeworthy for him to say that life came from the heavens.

@ChristCert @darwintojesus You can't explain the fine tuning of the Universe or the complexity of living cells without a Frost Giant and His Cow. People will believe anything to avoid facing the existence of the Norse pantheon.

@darwintojesus Atheists love to make up fairy tale stories like how lightning struck a pond of prehistoric goo and caused life to form. The desire for there not to be a God is strong in them. They will believe anything to avoid facing the existence of God.

@JoeyMannarino You should start by taking off that ridiculous toupee. No one is going to take you seriously with a dead badger on your head.

Banning me from The United Kingdom has made me more motivated than ever to destroy the liberal agenda all over the told. We will restore the West and anyone who gets in our way will be ruined (politically speaking).

@Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA You're right. I should have asked her if she cares about the personhood of haploid humans and what she's doing to protect them.

@BigRickSatchels @WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Sure, but you were responding this

@Fonz476again @djsworld2012 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA The Bible also explicitly endorses slavery. I wouldn't take it too seriously as a source of morality. Cue: Biblical slavery was totally different from Southern slavery (it wasn't).

@djsworld2012 @BigRickSatchels @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA The Bible absolutely affirms the idea that human life begins in the womb and is a continuous process until death. People like to clip parts out of the Bible without context and try to play a gotcha game.

@djsworld2012 @Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Holding a fetus responsible for the sins and of its parent is both immoral and intensely stupid. It's not as bad as the Biblical endorsement of slavery, but it's pretty close. I wouldn't take any moral lessons from that verse.

That's a dodge. Psalm 51:5 doesn't just 'not say the modern phrase'—it explicitly ties my ('me') moral identity and sin nature to the moment of conception: 'in sin did my mother conceive me.' David isn't confessing sin from birth or later; he's going back to conception as when the person ('me') existed with a fallen nature. No verse says 'life begins at first breath' for normal humans either, Genesis 2:7 is about God creating Adam from dust, not gestation. The Bible consistently treats the unborn as full persons known and formed by God (Ps 139:13-16, Jer 1:5, Luke 1:41-44, Ex 21:22-25). It never treats them as non-persons. The text assumes continuity of life from conception without needing 21st-century biology jargon. Do you run red lights because they don't explicitly say stop or is it implied?

@Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA He didn't. I did.

@WTS_Photography @djsworld2012 @BigRickSatchels @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA So why did you bring it up then?

@djsworld2012 @Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Did Jesus say that life begins at conception? The New Testament must take some explicit position against abortion. Right?

@BigRickSatchels @Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Possibly, but the Bible doesn't focus on women that much in the OT. It's all basic stories and information of what gave of Jesus Christ. I don't concern myself with trying to fully understand it since it was fulfilled by Christ.

@djsworld2012 @Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA Is this biblical fanfic?

@Fonz476again @BigRickSatchels @Introvert314 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA The process was similar with eve. Except the rib thing. She would have required first breath as well to fully connect man and woman. Reproduction processes came after the fall.

@djsworld2012 @Fonz476again @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @GeigerEmilyA That's a really long winded way of saying that the Bible doesn't explicitly say that life begins at conception any more than it says that life begins at first breath.

Psalm 51:5 is the closest:“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.” (ESV) It directly ties the speaker’s (“me”) moral existence/sin nature back to the moment of conception—not birth, not later development. No verse says the exact modern phrase “life begins at conception,” but this one pins personhood to that point more explicitly than others (like Ps 139 or Jer 1:5).

@Fonz476again @ProLifeBigTex @Introvert314 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @djsworld2012 @GeigerEmilyA Language too poetic for you? Cite the verses saying life begins at conception.

@BigRickSatchels @ProLifeBigTex @Introvert314 @WTS_Photography @jsm90211 @djsworld2012 @GeigerEmilyA Genesis 2:7 doesn't say that life begins at first breath 🙄

@hage8675309 @Fonz476again @Thiohna I'm not saying we should disregard your position because you're retarded, so using your "logic" it's not an ad hominem.

@hage8675309 @Fonz476again @Thiohna I'm starting to think that you might just be a little bit retarded.

It’s so gross when a woman would choose a law that forces someone to stay pregnant cos of the wittle cute fetus.

@hage8675309 @Fonz476again @Thiohna I thought that you were okay with ad hominem. Why would you do it if you weren't okay with it?

@BigRickSatchels @Fonz476again @Thiohna Now who is using ad hominem 🤣🤣
