"Billions of fertilized eggs are spontaneously aborted by God every second." "The number is actually about 2000 per hour" There's hardly any difference between "billions per second and 2000 per hour, is there? "2000 per hour are STRICTLY Acts of God." Countless people also die of natural causes every day "Nothing to do with this issue." It has everything to do with the issue since all deaths due to Natural causes at any stage of Human development can equally be attributed to God. "If God believed every fertilized egg was sacred and had the right to work out its eternal destiny by accepting "Jesus" or Allah or whoever, then God would not murder them." I don't know where you get these notions from, but they're certainly not from the bible. The God of the bible is not beholden to man, it is the other way around. We do not have "rights" that compel God to act in any particular way. The only thing that compels God is His own character and nature. All Gods attributes work in harmony with one another. His holiness and His justice are in perfect harmony with His Mercy and Love. God is the one who gives life and He has the right to take that life away any time He choses to. It is not murder for God to take a life. "biological scientific facts are not against anyone, numb nuts." More than just your nuts are numb. Condic, Assistant Professor of Neurobiology and Anatomy at the University of Utah, explains the important distinction between individual parts and whole human embryos. Listen up so you can learn something numb-skull. "The critical difference between a collection of cells and a living organism is the ability of an organism to act in a coordinated manner for the continued health and maintenance of the body as a whole. It is precisely this ability that breaks down at the moment of death, however death might occur. Dead bodies may have plenty of live cells, but their cells no longer function together in a coordinated manner.... Embryos are not merely collections of human cells, but living creatures with all the properties that define any organism as distinct from a group of cells; embryos are capable of growing, maturing, maintaining a physiologic balance between various organ systems, adapting to changing circumstances, and repairing injury. Mere groups of human cells do nothing like this under any circumstances.”
