    Some human lives are terminated after conception. But human life begins at conception. 360,000 every day are born after their lives begin at conception.

    Conception is the beginning of each and every human life.

    Now you have moved the goalposts. You are now claiming that a human exists at conception. Even if one accepted that the beginning of human life was at conception - this does not mean a human exists.

    You continue to fail to understand the difference between the noun form of the word human and the descriptive adjective form.

    Repeating this claim over and over like some parrot in a cage ... does not make that clam true :)

    No goal posts have been touched. Human life begins at conception. Playing grammar games is amusing but it doesn't change the preceding fact verified by observation (360,000 per day) and the scientific method.

    It was true the first time it was said which was long before this thread was started.

    Do not transfer your ignorance of grammar onto me. You are the one that does not understand the difference between the descriptive adjective form of the word Human (human cell, human life, human feces and so on) and the noun form (a human, the life of a human).

    Not all things referred to by the descriptive adjective "human" are humans. This is your error .. not mine.

    You standing on a soapbox crying "its true, its true" is not an argument for much.

    Yeah, right. Attempting to subvert the scientific method by arguing grammar ??

    It's no argument - it's fact - a hypothesis demonstrated 360,000 times a day which has not been falsified.

    The Right Wing accepts knowledge of the real world, when that knowledge can be replicated by others.

    I am certainly not insulting anyone merely stating the obvious, some of these posts are so insipid and idiotic that a mature adult must call them out for what they are, to do otherwise is to tolerate stupidity. As for your claim that science creates nothing but humans do, is that some kind of profound thought taught at Liberty University? I mean, at some point rational adults have got to start calling this type of stuff what it is or we face a future similar to idiocracy.

    So, then, Parapsychology is Science?

    Yeah, right.

    If an idea is not testable, repeatable, observable and falsifiable, it is not considered scientific.

    Yes, or there would be no point in having oil refineries.

    Medicine is an Art, not a Science. The fact that Medicine might use the scientific method does not make it Science.

    If an idea is not testable, repeatable, observable and falsifiable, it is not considered scientific.

    Try re reading my post again. Please concentrate on the statement of the scientific method which is used by humans to develop and test hypotheses leading to useful theories of fact until such time (if ever) they are falsified.

    And again there are nothing but insults and personal attacks in the above post.

    Still waiting on your response to the global warming questions.

    Serious attempts at using the Scientific Method to prove any of the claims in parapsychology have all failed. So I would say that there are no facts whatsoever in parapsychology that are supported by Science.

    If you knew the most basic concepts in Scientific Epistemology, you would realize how naive that statement is. Maybe you can store this somewhere, and in a few years you might have read a bit, learned, and realize it yourself.

    Unbelievable!

    There are females born with penises and males born with vaginas. So how do we know if they are male or female?

    What about girls who later turn into men?

    ... without surgery?

    The problem is that you are confusing science with being ignorant and narrow minded.

    No, it isn't even remotely "accurate".

    There are a great many people who are PERSONALLY opposed to having an abortion but SUPPORT the right of OTHER PEOPLE to make their own decision on the matter.

    That does NOT make them "pro-abortion" at all.

    Instead it means that they uphold the RIGHTS of others as all Americans have a duty to do under the government of We the People.

    BZZZT WRONG!

    Not every conception is successful so once again you are just spouting baseless allegations.

    You admission of abject failure to substantiate your utterly bogus allegation has already been accepted on the record of this thread.

    If you want a do-over you will need to substantiate your bogus allegation that you have already admitted that you are incapable of doing.

    There is nothing to be gained by rehashing your abject failure and admission of said failure.

    Have a nice day!

    By definition every conception creates life.
