The Biblical Case for Being Pro-Choice and Funding Stem Cell Research

Genesis 2.7 says, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” Fetuses and stem-cells, on the other hand are not breathing. And until they take their first breath, they would not be considered as being alive or having a soul as indicated by Genesis 2.7 or by the law in most states. When a baby is found dead and abandoned, the test for whether it is a homicide or a stillborn is to perform an autopsy and determine if the lungs have ever been inflated. No inflation equals no breathing equals no homicide. So, it would seem that Genesis 2.7, our legal code and I all agree on the point that Abortion and Stem Cell Research are not murder.

Wait a minute did someone say god has a Penis, after all the discusion about ID and evolution someone actually said;

"I'm sure he does have a Penis, if Adam has one why wouldn't God."

I am just getting over then whole "Does Adam have a Belly Button" issue and now I have to think about God having a Penis.

If I were God I would definitly give myself a big one, mind you I would probably know how to use it much better.

AnyHoo, I have very much enjoyed the debate over ID versus evolution.

And if He has One, is It circumsized or not????

Curcumsized or not I wonder what he uses it for, Maybe that's where we get the term "The Big Bang"

Oh my goodness.

It should be illegal for me to laugh this much while I'm at work.

Darn, Tommy, I just got a fill. You're making my port bulge. That's okay. Don't let up... I can handle it! hee, hee, hee.

Re the issue of God's circumcision, maybe we should ask Cusano?:phanvan

Tommy's the MAN, Green's the WO-MAN!

Since I've been having a bad case of walking away with my tail between my legs, your post truly made my day, Green.

We are not living outdoors in the woods hunting food or living in the ocean! We are humans created just like out Maker.

Living in the ocean, no (unless you want to go way back and entertain preSocratic philosophy). But there are people who DO live in the woods and hunt for their food. So while "we" maybe don't (or maybe do), "humans" ABSOLUTELY do. Think of all the tribesmen the world over. Houses, refrigeration, canned goods - all recent things. Twas but an earth's blink of the eye ago that we did EXACTLY that.

*Edited - ack, meant to post more but my elbow was resting on the "enter" key, little did I know.

As for a god having a penis - eww.

Green, I am not able to spend much time on the board lately but I just did some looking at other threads and now I understand your question. Please don't ask he creeps me out

TommyO

Take my word for it - not a good idea.

Tommyo, Bjean,

Amen. His spelling creeps me out more than anything. Reminds me of an old Steely Dan song, "The things that pass for knowledge....

He's managed to stir up crap on www.obesityhelp.com, also. I wasn't there for it, but apparently a thread he started got to six pages before it got deleted by mods. Apparently, a lot of the people thought he was a little out there.

Ok, so I did not read the whole thread... don't want to get into the "God" issue, so here is my take on life/stem cells.

Cord Blood gives the same information as an embryo, so why don't we just have the babies and save the cord blood? Moral Delimma solved.

TommyO: More than once I've been tempted to correct his posts and send them back with a poor grade.

Serious: Sorry I should have directed my previous post to you!

Poodles: I have no idea why umbilical cords aren't saved for research. Maybe someone at LBT has information on this. There are some people with medical backgrounds here who probably have the answer.
