Liberals Perverted Science

READ CAREFULLY FROM MY LAST POST:

so this is my final post regarding this matter in any event.

I'm cool w/ that. As long as you now seem to understand that those quotes were perfectly in context, and you completely contradicted yourself.

Nope, don't understand that, and only the retarded could possibly see things your way. I didn't contradict myself, I stand by what I said, I haven't conceded anything to you, I am just finished discussing it, because it is silly and ridiculous, and doesn't have a damn thing to do with the thread topic. Now, if you just want to continue to try and push my buttons, I can add you to my ignore list, like I have Waterhead and Chicklet, it doesn't bother me a bit. Take note, I am not going to be playing these silly little middle school games with you idiots anymore, I have made up my mind not to do it anymore. I am open to us having an intelligent conversation, discussing the issues like mature people, but this 7th-grade juvenile "gotcha" bullshit is going to stop with me. I don't have time for it, and it's gotten old.
 
Did you not read Thorns post?
yes I did, I saw nothing there that I disagreed with, whatsoever

A hypothesis is a formal, testable prediction based on empirical observation.

lol....which is precisely what I said.....TESTABLE.....since you are admitting exactly what I said why have you spent all your time pretending I didn't know what I was talking about.....

A scientific explanation for the origins of life would be a theory, not a hypothesis. Why is this concept so difficult for you to grasp?

it isn't difficult at all, I agree with that wholeheartedly.....but your speculations regarding the origins of life aren't proven scientific explanations (theories).....they haven't been successfully tested.....they are not hypothesis, because they are not testable.....they are merely speculations.....

you realize that, you know you can't demonstrate them to be hypothesis....that is why you are afraid to actually engage in the debate.....

The only reason science is indisputable on the abortion topic...

Show me where I said science was indisputable on the abortion topic?

All you fucking do is LIE!! Just, LIE LIE LIE, and top it off with more LIES!

You can't fucking type a sentence, without it being a LIE, can you?

Scientific evidence that human life begins at conception, is irrefutable.
Disagree with that, and you disagree with the scientific evidence.

Life begins at conception, possibly beforehand.

But life does not imply personhood.

Exactly!!

Mott, unless you've constructed a time machine and resolved the space/time continuum issue, enabling you to travel back to the origin of life, you can't test it or observe anything. You can attempt to simulate a speculative scenario, and it might give you some insight in what could have happened, but it may not prove anything. In the end, you have opinionated speculations, based on an agenda-driven ideology. You are doing precisely what you scold 'religious' people for, starting with a conclusion then building preconceived evidence to support it.

recently, a human vegetable was considered non responsive, thought, feeling, etc.....

science said that watermark....but then we have your ever correcting science.....that says different now...what faith you have in a science that needs.....ever correcting.....

When I said that, I meant that they are capable of feeling, even if their machinery is out of whack and it's not happening at that moment - barring some sort of very severe brain injury, like Schaivo had. But people do come out of PVS all the time.

You don't need to literally observe the origin of life to prove that it can arise spontaneously. As I said before, the easiest way to do it would be to simulate reasonable conditions that could happen in nature and nudge life out of them. Then you could prove that life COULD arise spontaneously, which would lend evidence to your theory of how life was started.

There may even be SEVERAL reasonable ways that life could have arisen spontaneously, but all we'd really need to do is make it happen once to prove that life could arise spontaneously.
 
If conception took place, a living human organism is produced. Whether it contains the necessary stuff to eventually be born and function as a "normal" human being, remains to be seen, but the moment it is conceived, it becomes what it will always be until termination.

Back to square one. Let's look at the definition of "organism".
Medical Dictionary. Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/organism

Take note of the last part. "a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."

We don't know if every fertilized cell has the organs, organelles, or other parts necessary. Again, until it can be determined one way or another it's reasonable to conclude most fertilized cells do not have the necessary organs, organelles, or other parts because over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life. They do not keep dividing and growing. They do not carry on the processes of life.

What part of that are you having difficulty with?

It's not the same thing at all. A human being at conception, already is a "built house" it is just not finished out. All the necessary stuff is there to complete the job, it only requires time. Furthermore, analogies comparing anything less than a human being, cheapen the meaning of a human being. You are comparing a pile of lumber to the remarkable creature known as the human being.

We don't know if all the necessary stuff is there. Again, over 50% do not pass that stage. "Construction" stops.

IF the cell aborted, it had to abort from something, correct???? Now think real hard with that limp noodle of yours! I know you can comprehend what the cell could have possibly "aborted" from! LIFE! DING!DING!DING!

If the "cell" (which is now actually multi-celled, after conception) aborts, it logically has to be in the process of something to abort. It aborts from the process began at conception, the life process. Thank you for making my point for me in such an excellent way!

If the cell had the necessary parts to carry on the processes of life why would it abort? Although we don't know for sure it's reasonable to conclude it does not have the necessary parts because logic dictates that if it did it would not self-abort.

Again, you are wrong. Human life begins at the moment of conception. We do not have to "consider" it, we know this to be a biological fact. YOU continue to assert that it must be "considered" a human life, but that is non-scientific and subjective. Once the female egg cell is fertilized, a radical transformation happens almost immediately, and the cell is no longer a single cell organism. You continue to falsely assert there is a "fertilized cell" and that is an oxymoron. There is what once was an unfertilized egg cell, but now it is a multi-cell living organism called a human being. Nothing further has to be concluded, nothing has to be determined, it already IS what it IS!

It is what it is and sometimes it isn't anything more than human living tissue. If it was a human being then it would grow and be born.

If the cells "do not make it" this can only mean they were living and died. Thanks once again for making my point that a "fertilized female egg" is a human life.

Yes, they were living and died just as all other cells in our body live and die. That does not mean they were/are a human life anymore than skin cells. If they were human life they would have grown and a human being would have been born.

What is so difficult to understand?

Because there is no other point in time where any other ingredients are obtained during the pregnancy. If the cell stopped growing, it was alive. If it was living, it must be some kind of living organism. If it is living inside a female human, and is the result of a conception between a male human sperm cell and female human egg cell, it is most likely a human organism, nothing in science leads us to believe any other alternative on that. If it is a human organism in the state of being, it is a human being.

"If it was living, it must be some kind of living organism." That is an assumption and most likely wrong as over 50% do not carry on the functions of a living organism.

Biology 101, Science 101. There is nothing absurd about my knowledge of facts.

What is absurd is your conclusions. All human life may start at conception but that does not mean all conceptions are human life. Once again, I ask, "What are you having problems with?" I explained this before. All "A"s may be "B"s but that does not mean all "B"s are "A"s. Somewhere along the way you missed that part of your education.

*sigh* If it "didn't grow past that point" it had to be living before that point. Science has already determined what form of living organism it is at that point. Once it dies, it is no longer a living human organism.

It had to be living but that does not mean it was an organism. Science has not determined whether the over 50% of fertilized cells that spontaneously aborted were organisms.

Again, let's take a look at the definition of organism. Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."

In over 50% of the cases fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life so why would you say all fertilized cells are organisms? Does the word "logic" mean anything to you? The term "common sense"?

It doesn't matter why something dies, that doesn't mean it wasn't ever alive. If the critter was alive at any point, it was a HUMAN LIFE, it can't be anything else, science doesn't support it being anything else. Either present some fucking evidence or stop trying to argue this absurd point.

I have provided circumstantial evidence. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life and carrying on the processes of life is crucial for something to be considered an organism.

Until YOU can stop pretending that science hasn't determined when human life begins, we can't really have any debate on the issue of abortion. You have adopted an anti-science viewpoint regarding biological facts, and you refuse to acknowledge them, so there is no point in arguing further.

Here we go again.:chesh: Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life. Every trip to the grocery store begins with the person leaving their house. That does not mean every time a person leaves their house they are going to the grocery store.

Do you know anyone who is a teacher? Do you have children in school? You need someone to explain to you the examples I've provided. You're having difficulty understanding a basic concept.
 
At all phases of the lifecyle, A living human organism is a human being.

You're apparently ignorant of science, apple, and that's sad for you.

It is you, AssHat, who fails to take science into consideration. We know that people are born with defective genes. We know some fetuses are so mal-formed they self-abort. Is it so unreasonable to conclude some fertilized cells do not have the proper "parts" to become a human being?

We do not know if every fertilized cell is an organism. That's the problem with your argument and considering over 1/2 of them do not conduct themselves like an organism (grow) it's logical to conclude some are not organisms.

We don't know. Science does not know. It is continuing to evolve.

It's easy to say life starts at conception, at the fertilization of a cell, when testing those that were/are organisms. It's easy to say a six month old fetus started life when a cell was fertilized because that particular cell was/is an organism and developed like organisms are supposed to develop.

I've tried to use analogies. Your argument is like a guy standing at the grocery store saying everyone who leaves their home goes to the grocery store. Yes, everyone at the grocery store had to leave their home but that does not mean everyone who leaves their home goes to the grocery store.

This is one of the basic things everyone should have learned/understood at a relatively young age.
 
apple0154:Here we go again. Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life.
Of course it does.

No, it doesn't. I posted the definition of "organism". Over 50% of fertilized cells do not fulfill the definition of organism which includes "carrying on the processes of life." They do not carry on the processes.

It may be possible some are organisms and something stops them from carrying on the processes, however, science has absolutely no idea what that "something " is or even if there is a "something" other than the cell(s) not being an organism.

Many women go through a number of miscarriages and then have a baby. They have no idea what they did differently and in many cases they didn't do anything differently.

Until proven otherwise the logical conclusion is the cell(s) were defective. In other words there was no human being. The "organism" was missing the parts necessary to carry on the processes of life.
 
Back to square one. Let's look at the definition of "organism".
Medical Dictionary. Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life." http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/organism

Again, until it can be determined one way or another it's reasonable to conclude most fertilized cells do not have the necessary organs, organelles, or other parts because over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life. They do not keep dividing and growing. They do not carry on the processes of life.

What part of that are you having difficulty with?

I am having difficulty with the word "or" in the definition you posted. It seems you think "or" means something different than I do. I am also having trouble understanding how something can "not carry on the process of life" if it isn't alive to begin with. Perhaps you can explain? Didn't the 50% have to be living first, in order to die?

We don't know if all the necessary stuff is there. Again, over 50% do not pass that stage. "Construction" stops.

Again, I am having trouble understanding how something is growing, yet not alive. How "construction stops" if there isn't anything being constructed to start with. Can you resolve this illogical puzzle? It seems that what you are saying is, all 100% were growing and living, and 50% died. But if they were all growing, regardless of how many died, weren't they living?

If the cell had the necessary parts to carry on the processes of life why would it abort? Although we don't know for sure it's reasonable to conclude it does not have the necessary parts because logic dictates that if it did it would not self-abort.

Uhm... Again, having trouble understanding what the "cell" is aborting from. How can it stop carrying on a process it hasn't yet obtained? You maintain it is not a living human organism, but then you indicate it was living and died. How can this be? The "cell" was either living or not living. If it was living, it has to be classified as some form of living organism, and if it is a "fertilized egg" from a female human, it can only be called a human. I honestly don't know what else you could call it, nothing else is added to make it "human" later on, we know all humans start from here, so what other possible kind of living organism do you think it could be? Please explain this to me, it is perplexing!

It is what it is and sometimes it isn't anything more than human living tissue. If it was a human being then it would grow and be born.

Hmm... Human living tissue? I don't know, but I think we might be making progress with you! You almost have it right! Yes, living human tissue with it's own unique DNA, which will continue to grow and develop for the next 100 years or more, if it isn't terminated or doesn't "self-abort" from the process.

Yes, they were living and died just as all other cells in our body live and die. That does not mean they were/are a human life anymore than skin cells. If they were human life they would have grown and a human being would have been born.

WOW! Now "they" are alive! We HAVE made progress with you! But unlike other cells in your body that die, a human embryo is not a single cell. Once conception takes place, the "fertilized egg" becomes a unique living multi-cell organism called a human.

"If it was living, it must be some kind of living organism." That is an assumption and most likely wrong as over 50% do not carry on the functions of a living organism.

WTF?? You just admitted they were alive!!! We have lost all that progress already! LOL



What is absurd is your conclusions. All human life may start at conception but that does not mean all conceptions are human life. Once again, I ask, "What are you having problems with?" I explained this before. All "A"s may be "B"s but that does not mean all "B"s are "A"s. Somewhere along the way you missed that part of your education.

No idiot, what is absurd is that I am still having a conversation with your stupid ass. Go pick up any 7th grade science textbook, and I am sure you will find a chapter on how human life begins.

It had to be living but that does not mean it was an organism. Science has not determined whether the over 50% of fertilized cells that spontaneously aborted were organisms.

Listen to this stupidity! Just fucking unbelievable! If it was living, that is EXACTLY what it means! It was a LIVING ORGANISM! What the fuck are you even talking about now? Do you even know???

Again, let's take a look at the definition of organism. YES, LETS! Organism: "An individual form of life, such as a plant, an animal, a bacterium, a protist, or a fungus; a body made up of organs, organelles, or other parts that work together to carry on the various processes of life."
In over 50% of the cases fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life so why would you say all fertilized cells are organisms? Does the word "logic" mean anything to you? The term "common sense"?

I will agree, once the human being dies, it is no longer a living organism.

I have provided circumstantial evidence. Overwhelming circumstantial evidence. Over 50% of fertilized cells do not carry on the processes of life and carrying on the processes of life is crucial for something to be considered an organism.

Yes, I would say you have provided incontrovertible evidence, when something dies, it is no longer a living organism. The 50% of "fertilized cells" which "do not make it" are indeed, NOT living human organisms. I agree!

Here we go again.:chesh: Science having determined that human life begins at fertilization does not mean every fertilization is human life. Every trip to the grocery store begins with the person leaving their house. That does not mean every time a person leaves their house they are going to the grocery store.

*sigh* YES, AGAINNNNN!

Man has determined through science, that human life begins with conception of a sperm cell and egg cell. It needs nothing else to become human life or a human being. Just like all other reproductive organisms, some human beings do not survive the life process very long. You want to argue, until they are born, they are not "considered" human, and that is not scientific. They are living, we know this for a fact, you have confirmed it several times. You want to set up artificial thresholds, and say the living organism must pass those, before you "consider" it a living organism, and you point to the dead ones to support your claim they are not really living organisms. It's lunacy!

Do you know anyone who is a teacher? Do you have children in school? You need someone to explain to you the examples I've provided. You're having difficulty understanding a basic concept.

No, here's the deal, I don't know how old you are or how much actual science education you've had, but I venture to say it's not a lot. Your entire rant sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself that human life is not really human life. You've made no points of validity, you've really offered nothing to support your waffling, flip-flopping, ever-changing, contradicting notions of when life actually begins. You continue to deny biological facts and insist that science doesn't know what it has known for years. Even when you are trying to explain it, you get tangled in contradictions... things are living, but not living organisms! Things can't be living because 50% died! LMFAO... if it weren't so sad, it would be hilarious!
 
if you are allowed to make up your own axioms and postulates you can prove any theory

this is what dixie does

the problem is that reality intrudes...
