The Creation of Life
I have been thinking over the past little while about life and when does life begin. There are many theories and views on this. This post I am going to try and get the people who view the site involved. Anyone who would like to put their views in are very welcome to email me or leave a comment and I will add your part onto the post.
I believe that life is formed at the point of conception. However I believe life begins before this. Energy cannot be created therefore it cannot be destroyed therefore life is there before the point of conception.
This is a very complicated topic and I have said little as I have not given my own thought in this to much. Anyone interested in putting their views in feel free to leave a comment or send me an email etc.

Tai’s Reply : “I can see life starting before. I mean ye at that point the sperm meets the egg and goes from there but what if the energy used to create the life was there before conception? Since energy cant be destroyed it cannot be created only altered, this would suggest that life begins before conception”

Well chlmnsh you make a good point however I can see life starting before. I mean ye at that point the sperm meets the egg and goes from there but what if the energy used to create the life was there before conception? Since energy cant be destroyed it cannot be created only altered, this would suggest that life begins before conception.

I think you’re asking the wrong question. It isn’t about when life exists because obviously all cells are alive as long as they are undergoing a chemical process to sustain itself. The question is when a group of cells can be considered a human being (since I’m assuming this is what you are talking about.) And that’s a question of when the soul of the being enters the physical body. You won’t find an answer to this in science at this point. My answer is based on many discussions with spirit guides, research from others who have their own discussions with their guides, and discussions with our spiritually advanced cat. So take it as you wish.
The answer is simple: it depends. Every being is different. Sometimes the soul enters fairly early. I believe it’s very rare for a soul to enter earlier than a few months in. You can feel a connection to the life growing inside of you (or the mother if you aren’t the one pregnant) but that doesn’t mean there is a soul there. You are bonding with an idea in that case. After all, we’ve all bonded with inanimate objects as well, such as a favorite toy as a child, perhaps a car as an adult as a few quick examples. So a bond does not mean a soul.
Sometimes the soul honestly doesn’t enter the body until the child is born. I believe this is also rare, but some souls just don’t handle the confinement of incubation and thus wait until the last moment.
Most of the time the timing is in the middle, a few months in. It’s really common with women that they don’t feel a real connection to the growing cells until a few months in – my theory is that they feel that connection once the soul enters the body. Until then it’s just this concept to get used to.
I’m not going to debate whether abortion is right or wrong because there is no answer. It is an intensely personal decision that no outside person has a right to judge. So it’s right and wrong, depending on each situation. It can even be right at one point in a person’s life and wrong at another. It’ll never be a black and white issue.
I hope I’ve given you all something to think about.

Well Jax I must say that is a very interesting point. Maybe people are to focust on the cells and all rather than the spirit/soul etc. I think it we should balance it out and see both but you raise a good point and i look forward to seeing peoples reply to your points.
